Meet My Sunday School Class


I would like to introduce you all to my Sunday School class. This class is probably my favorite things that I get to do with the students right now. We meet from 11-12 on Sundays and are going through Romans. This past week we went through Romans 3:9-31 and talked about how even though we are sinners, God still gave us a way out. I really really really enjoy teaching this class, but I enjoy even more when these kids ask questions and I can tell that they are really thinking about what God is teaching them.

Typically, the kids show up at 10:45. This past week though I didn't go to the morning service because I was going to the evening service, but I wasn't in the classroom as early as I normally am. I still showed up at like 10:40, but the kids were already looking for me. It was just kind of funny and it made me laugh inside. Anyways, we spend those 15 minutes talking about whatever happened that week and make each other laugh. The first half of the class I normally have a game planned or an activity thing planned. This week we started going through the House of the New Testament to teach the students the books of the New Testament. (Thanks Dave!) Then we did some speed Bible verse finding, where the students start with their Bible closed on the table and then I tell them a verse and they race to find it and then raise their hand. It was a lot of fun. The second half of the class is when we study. As I said before, I really love doing this. It makes my day when one of the kids asks a question that is insightful and it always gets me excited knowing that they're really thinking about what we are studying. I've never really taught that much before, but I love it when I feel like the kids get it and understand what the Bible is saying. So there you have it. All these kids are really cool and I feel really blessed to be their leader.
