Welcome

Many Sabbath School class teachers either preach a sermon to their class or deliver a monologue on the whole lesson, going through it "day-by-day." The most rewarding sessions involve the members in discussion. These questions here are intended to stimulate the active participation of the members in your class. Of course pertinent information imparted by the teacher is also very valuable, for which there are many resources in print and on the internet. This site seeks to provide a resource for discussions.

If you are a member and not a teacher and your class is boring, try asking questions such as these in your class.

Lesson 7, God’s Special People (Micah)


Is it ever wrong to show mercy?

Agony of the Prophet’s Heart
  1. Which is more difficult and why, to prophesy the final end of your nation or your religious organization?
  2. Would knowledge of your full future make you happy or sad?



Those Who Devise Iniquity
  1. Who was more to blame for Israel’s moral decline, the priests, the kings or the rich people?
  2. How true is it that our church is the final remnant and that it will survive to the very end?  Is it possible that an offshoot might become the true remnant?


A New Ruler from Bethlehem
  1. Why would God reveal that the Messiah would be born in the town of Bethlehem seven centuries before it was to take place?
  2. Would Jesus have had greater chance of acceptance if he was born to a noble family in Jerusalem?


What is Good
  1. Which is easier, to have correct doctrines or to give generous offerings?
  2. Which is harder, to give generous offerings or to love people?
  3. Which is harder, to act justly or to show mercy? What is the difference between showing mercy and loving mercy?
  4. What does it mean “to walk humbly with God?”


Into the Depths of the Sea
  1. In the end, if we don’t make it to heaven will we be punished only for unforgiven sins or will even forgiven ones be called up?
  2. If you had to hide something anywhere on this earth, where would you hide it?
  3. In the final analysis, is God just or merciful?
