The necessity of responding to a warning

This Paul Revere link is a flash presentation of the patriot’s famous ride where he warned colonist of the approaching British troops. First, watch it from the browser on your portable PC, and then replay it using a projector to your class without an Internet connection by selecting File->Work Offline.

As they watch, have learners listen for ways in which the people responded to Revere’s warning. Discuss their observations after the movie. Ask, “What would have happened had the people failed to respond?” Answer: Simply put, we’d still be a British colony.

The lesson “How to be Redeemed” this week from Ezekiel 33 teaches that the Lord calls sinners to repentance and promises to redeem all who repent. People must respond. Like Paul Revere, Ezekiel acted as a watchman, except the stakes were higher in Ezekiel's case. Complete your introduction of the lesson with a lesson outline: Respond to God’s Warning, Believe God’s Promise, Obey God’s Word.

Have a happy time celebrating the birth of our great nation!

Pee Wee,

Here is what I did. I played the flash movie on my portable PC. Then I unplugged my Internet connection, and then set the browser to "Work Offline." When I visit the link the flash movie plays from the browser cache. In other words, it is stored on your PC. Try it and play it using a projector offline in your class. That's all there is to it!
