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 8 (Feb 14-20), Words of Wisdom

We Are All Equal

  1. Is the equality of the eye and ear a fitting illustration of the equality of all human beings?  Are some organs of the human body more valuable than others? How well can we do without some of them--organs, humans? 
  2. Are there degrees of sinners? Are some people greater sinners than others?
  3. Did Jesus love some of his disciples more than others? Why or why not?
  4. Does God love some people more than others? Why or why not?
The Test of Life
  1. Do people who profess a religion live morally better than others?
  2. Are Christians better people than non-Christians?
  3. Is the attitude of "service to others" cultivated or inherited?
Waiting for the Lord
  1. Is good stewardship limited to multiplying the talents God has entrusted to us, or should we be trying to multiply them quicker and quicker?
  2. When should parents give their children their inheritance?
  3. What is the difference between punishment and revenge?
Compassion for the Poor
  1. Should we try to ascertain if a beggar's need is genuine before we dispense compassion?
  2. Is compassion adequately fulfilled by giving alms or do we have a greater obligation?
  3. Should we stop by the roadside regardless to help a person in distress or should be we cautious? How can we help such a person in need without endangering our families?
Education
  1. If a child strays from the path and does not return, does it mean that the training was deficient? How much can parents be excused?
  2. What is involved in training up a child properly?
  3. How important is the "dedication" of an infant?
