  7. PREPARING THE LESSON Read the lesson text. 2 Corinthians 9:6-9 6Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever.”

  8. PREPARING THE LESSON Review the Life Focus. This is the theme of the lesson. Life Focus: Let’s be grateful and generous managers of our possessions.

  9. PREPARING THE LESSON Look at the goals for each lesson step. These four goals provide the “roadmap” for the entire lesson. Step one: Recognize that you are wealthy compared to most people in the world. Step two: Explain how a Christian should deal with wealth. Step three: Evaluate present-day examples of how people deal with wealth. Step four: Resolve touse wealth constructively.

  10. PREPARING THE LESSON Study the Scripture Commentary, Encountering God’s Word. Take special note of the three main points of the lesson. GENEROUSLY 2 Corinthians 9:6 CHEERFULLY 2 Corinthians 9:7 God will always give us enough to share. God only wants that which we gladly give. PRODUCTIVELY      2 Corinthians 9:8, 9 God will cause our gifts to be used effectively.

  11. LET’S TAKE IT TO YOUR CLASSROOM! Each week’s lesson follows four steps: Step 1 Setting the Stage Introduce the lesson by engaging student interest in the overall topic of the lesson. Step 2 Searching the Word Help students discover what the Bible says about that overall topic. Step 3 Making It Real Assist students in envisioning how those biblical principles would look when lived out today. Step 4 Living It Out Encouraging students to take a specific step in response to the study.

  12. STEP 1 – SETTING THE STAGE: INTRODUCE THE TOPIC In the first section there are three options. In this lesson, you can choose a quiz, a video, or a news article. Each activity will meet the goal of the lesson step. Each activity will lead to the same transition statement. The first activity is always designated as the Quick Step activity. This option requires very limited preparation. It is great for last-minute volunteer needs. Use one of the following activities to help each students recognize that they are wealthy compared to most people in the world. Lead into Bible study by saying: It’s hard to imagine living without many of the luxuries of our culture. It is easy to forget that we have luxuries that few others have had in history. The Bible tells us to be aware of the blessings we have and gives us three principles for handling our wealth.

  13. STEP 1 – SETTING THE STAGE: INTRODUCE THE TOPIC Activity Option 1 For this lesson, the engaging quiz is found in the Student Book. . . Activity Option 2 For this lesson, the video is included on the CD in your Resources Packet. Play it on a laptop. . . Activity Option 3 Download The Scene™ from www.21stcc.com and click on “Downloads.” Discuss one of the latest headlines from the week of the lesson. It is designed, to meet the section objective and lead into the next section of the lesson. . .

  14. STEP 2 – SEARCHING THE WORD: GET INTO THE BIBLE Discover main points in Scripture. You have two choices with which to delve into an exposition of the Bible text. Each option teaches the main points of the lesson text clearly and concisely. Each will also meet the same objective and lead into application. In this example, you can choose an inductive study or a creative activity as Bible study options. Inductive study Creative option For this lesson, the inductive study is found in the Student Book. For this lesson, the creative option is a song writing activity and is a reproducible page from your Teacher Book.

  15. Song Suggestion: As you discuss with your students modern-day people who recognize Jesus as the greatest gift one could receive, consider reading the lyrics to “What I Want” by City Harmonic. (You can find these lyrics by doing a simple internet search.) STEP 3 – MAKING IT REAL: APPLY BIBLICAL PRINCIPLES Show how Bible study principles can be practiced today. In this example, you can choose to role-play or do an art activity. Application Options For this lesson, the role-playing activity is found in the Student Book. Role-playing The activity uses art to help students apply the Bible lesson. Since more creative activities such as creative writing and art are structured with specific goals in mind, it is easy to turn them into discussion activities instead! Art activity Alternative Activities include suggestions for reading the lyrics to certain songs to help meet the teaching objective. Alternativeactivity

  16. STEP 4 – LIVING IT OUT: CLOSING CHALLENGE Encourage students to make specific life changes. In this lesson, you can choose a self-evaluation or an object lesson. self-evaluation The self-evaluation For this lesson, the self evaluation exercise is based on an article found in the student magazine, ENCOUNTER—The Digital Magazine. object lesson The object lesson is described in your Teacher Book.
