Creative bible teaching model

Editor's Notes

1. The purpose studying the Bible is to better understand it and to be able to model it. It is like entering the dating scene. It is a time of discovery outside of oneself for developing future relationships and family.
2. Focusing the message looks to the needs of the students. It is like the man who humbles himself by kneeling before his beloved and asking her hand in marriage. The proposal isn’t about him; it is about her wants and needs.
3. Lesson structure is like a wedding in which the union of a couple is formalized. It is not the finish line, but it is the pivotal aspect of the process. It establishes and defines the parameters and expectations.
4. Teaching the class is the actual instruction time when the idea is presented in reality. It is where the wedding becomes a marriage and the marriage can become a family.
5. Evaluating the results is a look back at the effectiveness of the process. It is the couple who is able to look back and see their example lived out through their children and grandchildren.
