This week we are talking about preparing hearts so the Spirit can teach. Consider the ideas below as you fill out this worksheet.
Teaching Tips for Kids
Consider assigning one of the circles to every day this week. Monday focus on a scripture. Tuesday listen to uplifting music. Wednesday share spiritual experiences around the dinner table. Thursday pray. Etc. See if you feel the Spirit in abundance as you make room for him in your home.
Teaching Tips for teens
Use this sheet as a journal. Spend time pondering about each circle. When has a scripture helped you feel the spirit? When has music? Is there a particular song that always helps you feel the Spirit? When have you shared a spiritual experience that has touched you deeply?
Teaching tips for individuals and couples
Could you find a way to experience all of these circles this week with someone that you love?
Don't Miss This in the New Testament
Come Follow Me 2023 Study Tools
Maybe you know this about us by now, but we are both visual, hands on learners. Because of that, we are always trying to discover study tools that will help bring the scriptures to life in your home. We will be using several different study tools this year, here is what we love most about each of them:
Videos: For the New Testament we will be recording all new hour long videos, but this year they will be broken into ten minute segments in case you want to watch them for ten minutes every weekday, or you can watch them all at once. These videos are totally free and can be found on YouTube or on our APP.
Journal: The journals for the next four years have been totally redesigned with a theme in mind. You will find questions to ponder daily that can be used for teaching or family discussions. There are workbook pages based off of our most favorite part of each lesson that week. You can also use these workbook pages for lessons or discussion. There will also be a space for recording one name of Jesus Christ each week.
Devotional Book: Perfect for a 5-10 minute lesson, these books can be used as a devotional every day. This book is designed for personal study or family study. We love to use ours around the dinner or breakfast table.
Word a Week Posters: Perfect for a three minute study, these posters include one word and one verse a week for pondering. Hang them somewhere in your home where they will be a daily reminder of Come, Follow Me. This year we will be studying one name of Jesus Christ found in that week’s lesson. By the end of the year we will have come up with 52 names.
Tip Ins: These are small papers that can be glued right in your scriptures with tips and truths that will help to improve your study.
Stickers: Use these colorful stickers in the margins of your Scriptures or in your Don’t Miss This Daily study journal.
Hopefully these tools will make your scripture study something you look forward to!
