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.

Forgiveness and Peace
  1. What does Satan stand to gain by helping marriages break up?
  2. Why does Matt 5:23-24 place the burden of peacemaking on the you who may not have an issue, rather than on the one has an issue against you and who you think may be angry with you?
  3. Does God really intend that the offering to God be suspended to make things right, rather than determining in one's heart to settle it at the earliest opportunity?
