A Good Sunday School Teacher

🔥🔥 *How to be a Good Sunday School Teacher* 🔥🔥
 
Being a good Sunday School teacher requires knowing *God* , yourself, your material, and your students.

The following checklist is meant to assist you in paying attention to these essential matters.

🔥1. Be Sure of Your Ground.
📌Have assurance of your own per­sonal salvation.

📌Be absolutely and unreservedly committed to the Bible as the inspired Word of God.

📌Make sure that your relationship with others in your church is right.

📌Make sure that you have a good reason for teaching Sunday school.

🔥2. Know what You're Doing.
📌Recognize that one goal of Sunday school is evangelism.

📌Realize that evangelism is not incompatible with nurturing Cov­enant children.

📌Coordinate your work with other church programs (e.g., Bible study, midweek prayer, youth fellowship...) and with your pastor's sermons.

📌Remember that you're discipling lives, not stuffing heads.

🔥3. Understand Biblical Theology.
📌One helpful resource is Covenants, by Palmer Robertson (available from Great Commission Publications).

📌Never leave Christ out of an Old Testament lesson.

📌Never leave the Old Testament out of the gospel.

📌Always consider how the "already/not yet" analysis applies.

📌Always consider how the story, text, or event with which you are dealing fits into the history of redemp­tion and into the rest of Scripture.

🔥4. Love Your Students.
📌Try to understand each student's personal needs.

📌Phone/visit absentees promptly.

📌Spend some time with students/children outside of class.

📌Pray for your students/children individu­ally and regularly.

 ~📌Never~ "wing it" when you are unprepared; admit it and do some­thing else during class time, rather than trying to teach the lesson anyway.💥💥💥

🔥5. Teach with Enthusiasm.
📌Don't hide your joy, sorrow, etc.

📌Prepare your lesson early in the week.

📌Make the lesson "pinch." Make sure the teaching in it is applied.

📌Know the point of the lesson exactly.

📌Try out the point of the lesson on your spouse or roommate (if you have one), and take his or her reaction seriously.

🔥6. Exercise Discipline.
📌Discipline shouldn't be a prob­lem, if everything else is solid.

📌If a problem occurs, don't embarrass the offender in class; talk to him/her outside of class.💥

📌Impress on the student the urgency of the matter and the importance of the class.

📌If necessary, talk to the child/student's parents and enlist their help.

🔥7. Miscellaneous Helps.
📌Singing with your class, using any musical instrument, is excellent.

📌Visuals and object lessons (especially from the area of your own expertise) are powerful aids to teaching.

📌Memory drills, with rewards, are usually welcomed.

📌Don't rush; give your students/children time to think about what you've said.

📌Don't use class time for small talk/gisting.

📌Ordinarily, it is preferable to teach less material better, rather than more material worse.

📌Congratulate/appreciate your children/students for their attentiveness, cooperation, etc.

📌Ask your pastor to visit your class unannounced sometime, and don't ask him to pray, teach, or do anything else.💥💥💥💥

📌Whenever it is possible and relevant, stress the importance of obedience to parents.💥

📌Be a model to your students (as was Paul to Timothy).

📌Remember that knowledge is unto life.

I love teaching, especially impacting knowledge on Toddlers. Jesus famous words, “Let the little children come to me”, is often used to underline the importance of child evangelism. They can be found in 3 Gospels, specifically in Matthew 19:14, Mark 10:14 and Luke 18:16. While this is a relatively simple phrase, it profoundly reveals God’s affection for children.

my grandmother

*🔥My Grandmother🔥* I loss my paternal grandmother few years ago! She was know for one thing! GENEROSITY/SACRIFICE! (As in, she fit share food for house come forget herself 😂) She was so kind to people both old and young. She always remembered for her kindness! I loved her so much and I believed that her love😍 for her grandchildren was  genuine. She is long gone to be with the Lord.

One have to rack his brain to be able to remember the characters of our love ones that have passed away, whether good or bad. Some times we even forget that some of our love ones are no longer alive! Hmmmm life goes on you know!  Even though sometimes, our love ones may leave a vacuum that no one else can filled, yet that vacuum is only known/felt by few individuals especially the closest relation. And you will hear words like "hey, you need to move ...

THE MONSTER OF DEBT

*The Monster of Debt* Many families really have to struggle in order to survive financially. They dream of someday achieving financial stability, even if it is Just having enough to buy the basics. But many times this dream never comes true. Unemployment and inadequate, unfair pay can make the problem even more serious. The ideal situation, of course,  would be to avoid falling into debt, but, unfortunately, many families today have been unable to keep from doing so. Be careful! Buying things on credit by making small monthly payments (with lots of interest) can  lead you dangerously close to the edge of the cliff. Try not to make payments of that are only going to decrease in value. It's possible to live without some things until you are able to save your money and pay cash for them by saving a part of each month's income.
