How do you plan to create interest in this week’s lesson, “Appropriate God’s Mercy”, which is based on Joel 1-3? A typical idea is to begin with an illustration of some disaster and ask if it can be interpreted as a warning from God. Joel’s prophesy was delivered on the heels of a plague of locust. He interpreted the locusts as a warning about impending judgment on the “Day of the Lord”.
In the past I’ve used Paul Revere’s ride as an example of a warning, and the hearers responded!But the major idea of this lesson seems to revolve around knowing that God is merciful. Maybe we should begin the lesson with an illustration of mercy (everyone survived this crash)? Why?
