You know nothing about the LORD

[missdkendall]

Hey everyone. I have some new girls in my Sunday school class. They range from 10-13. These girls have never know Pentecost but are really excited about learning. I am trying to think of lessons I can teach them without the parents getting mad and saying we are forcing "holiness" and "pentecost" on them. Any suggestions would be so appreciated.

Thanks a bunch,

Missy,
I pray everything goes well. It would be best that you follow the direction of the Lord and not any suggestions from the Forum. God has a direction and knows each heart. All situations are unique. There is no way we could know what they need.

True, only the Lord knows what they need. However, there have to be some good Bible lessons for newbies. Maybe it is a prayer and fasting situation for me.

Only you know that. One thing that might be good is if you have an open session where they can ask questions. Any answers you are unsure of you could put that aside to study a little more and give the answer the following Sunday. That is a good way to start out with any new people.

You are in my prayers!

I think that sounds like a great idea

Let us know how it works out for you. Praying!

BTW, some of the students might rather write their question on a piece of paper and place it in a box so that no one knows who asked the question. Just ignore the stupid ones. You will get those too! lol

Now wait - you just told her not to follow the advice of anyone on the forum, and now you're giving her advice!!!!!!!!!!:tantrum

I agree with Coop. Teach them about Jesus. They are probably too young to learn anything about doctrine. I taught a bible study to a 25 yr old single women. She was older a little wiser, but was convienced there is a God. I started out teaching about creation and then about the Easter story. She would ask questions about the HG and Pentecost and I answered them, but did not go to deep. Once she was with it on the Jesus/Easter story and creation I taught he about Grace and Mercy and forgivness of sins. It took several studies and maybe months to get to Pentecost. She did see the revelation of baptism and was baptized and then got the HG. She started as a waitress at the local Applebees now she is helping with a church that their main focus is missions, home and abroad. But you gotta start simple. No use in confusing them with doctrine that even the older people do not understand.

Yeah, this is totally true. Recently I had a friend coming with me to church who was fifteen, and she was determined to jump into Pentecost "full-blast" all at once, and it ended up being too much for her and she quit. So it is definitely important to take "baby steps". Wish you the best of luck and you'll be in my prayers, MissDKendall. :)
