The more you think about Sunday School, the more important it becomes.
STATEWIDE – The more you think about Sunday School, the more important it becomes.
It’s the primary in-depth Bible-teaching done in the church.
“Preaching is when you get convicted to study the Bible,” said Sean Keith, Sunday School/Discipleship Strategist on the Louisiana Baptist Convention’s Evangelism team. “Bible study is what you do to learn how to live like a Christian, to learn how God wants you to live and to relate to Him and to the other people in your life.”
Because of the importance of Bible study to the Christian growth of each individual student, teachers must be as prepared as possible. The regional Sunday School training events taking place across the state this month and into October can help.
“There are some new teachers this fall in churches all across Louisiana,” Keith said. “There are some people who have been teaching 35 years or more. There are some people who ask, ‘How can I teach a baby about Jesus?’ and others who say, ‘I don’t think there’s anything I could say to the senior adults they haven’t heard before.’
“There’s something for everyone at the regional Sunday school training provided by the associations, LBC and LifeWay Christian Resources,” Keith continued. “You’ll learn fresh ways of presenting God’s truth that can invigorate your teaching and inspire your students.”
Your church’s gifts to missions through the Cooperative Program help underwrite the cost of the regional Sunday school training events.
