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 3 (July 11-17), Seeing People Through

The Second Touch

  1. Why do you think most sick people were brought to Jesus by a friend rather than come on their own alone?
  2. Do more people today come to Jesus on their own or are they introduced by a friend?
  3. Why do you think Jesus did not heal the blind man immediately? What purpose was served by the delay?
A Lesson in Acceptance
  1. What would be the equivalent of "Samaritans"--a group looked down upon, in your area?
  2. What in the Samaritan woman could have demonstrated that she needed Jesus?
  3. Since there are so many unentered areas how should we prioritise which areas to evangelise first?
Begin Where You Are
  1. Why would people prefer to be a missionary in a foreign land rather than in their home town?
  2. How much does one need to know about the Bible before witnessing to others?
  3. Why does it seem harder to convert family members than strangers? 
Dealing With Difficult People
  1. What kind of person would you consider difficult to witness to?
  2. How long should we persist with a difficult person before giving up and going to seek another?
  3. How can a difficult person be brought to Jesus?
Sensing Providential Opportunities
  1. What do you think Paul meant by "a door was opened for him?"
  2. Should we wait for doors to open before witnessing?
  3. How can we discover open doors?
