Here is the quick update on week #5, WoW Class on 1/3/2016.
I trusted that you enjoyed a nice new year break!
The theme is "Jesus Grows UP", as demonstrated in the account of Gospel of Luke 2: 39-52.
Per Luke 2:41, Mary and Joseph went every year to Jerusalem during Passover, demonstrating their faithfulness and commitment to God. Their faithfulness indicates the type of home Jesus grew up in.
One thing to note is that Jesus was found sitting among the teachers in the Temple, after days when Mary and Joseph were on their way home from Jerusalem. The teachers were impressed by what Jesus understood and by the answers he gave.
One of the answers is showing "Jesus Is Special" at the young age;
Luke 2:49,
耶穌說、為甚麼找我呢．豈不知我應當以我父的事為念麼。〔或作豈不知我應當在我父的家裡麼〕
We had both teams to play a words-reconstruction game to highlight the key verses,
Luke 2:40,
"孩子漸漸長大、強健起來、充滿智慧．又有 神的恩在他身上"
Luke 2:52:
"耶穌的智慧和身量、〔身量或作年紀〕並 神和人喜愛他的心、都一齊增長。"
"And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men."
As each class, we re-enforce the 5W & 1H (What/Who/When/Where/Why, How) practice to help students studying the scriptures on their own. We hope to develop it into personal reading habits.
Next, we encourage each team (Bob's House and PinkNose) to bring the bible story to live, by using the material pages from magazines provided. The focal point would be the bible messages to share the good news about Jesus's mission from God to all the people on Earth.
All the students are demonstrating their team-work and creativity in working toward gospel messages in a easy-to-understand fashion.
Each team gets to present their work in front of the class; it is our hope that through the training at Sunday school class, each student gets opportunity to speak in public and in an organized fashion. They are doing great!
Our memory verse:
John 10:30
"I and the Father are one".
Until next time, we'll share His story one week at a time!
