The Life of Christ - How to teach this course
>> Sign up to be notified when this course is available!  <<
- Order copies of the basic text for this course, SYNOPSIS OF THE FOUR GOSPELS, English Edition, by Kurt Aland. From Amazon.com. The cost is $16 per book and for each student.
- A detailed lesson plan is provided for each session. It includes the actual teaching materials: the Bible study, discussion questions, power points, and links to the finest visual aids on the Internet (art, photography, archeology).
- Create two teaching notebooks of the actual teaching materials, one for the instructor and the other for the person who shows the power points during class. Print the lessons on three-holed paper, black color only, light ink. Use notebook dividers for each lesson. It is helpful to have a secretary do this.
- As you give your presentation, keep the students’ minds busy looking inside their textbook and focusing on the words on the page. Have students take notes in the margins of their texts. People enjoy this “in depth” study.
- After the class period is finished, email the students your lecture/study you have just completed or post the lecture/study on the congregational website. Students report that the combination of the oral presentation by the instructor, followed by the email of the lesson, is very beneficial. (For those students without computers, make a few “hard copies.”)
- There are two-four discussion questions for each class period. These questions are intended for “small group” interaction. Each small group may consist of 3-5 people. People love the small group interactions/sharing times.
- Be a learner yourself. Your detailed study of the four gospels will refresh your spirit and mind. Spend time in your personal preparation.
- Always bring back the discussion to Jesus Christ. In the eyes of many, the stories about Jesus of Nazareth are more attractive than stories from the Old Testament or about the Apostle Paul. By the time this course is completed, students will be living in the mind, spirit, and history of Jesus.
- The ideal length of the class time will be approximately 90 minutes.
- This course is planned for 54 weeks in two years. Some congregations will have 12 weeks in the fall, 7 weeks in the winter, and 8 weeks in the spring.
- Feel free to revise this course in any way that benefits your congregation. Some will teach it on Sunday mornings, for 50 minutes, modifying as needed.
