Sunday's lesson went very well. As one anonymous commenter suggested, I didn’t make the leap to “fighting injustice”. Instead, I ask members to privately confess sin and seek forgiveness from the same LORD that we talked about in Nahum.
A 115 of you downloaded the PowerPoint slides for the lesson. That was 35% of the unique site visitors from Thursday thru Sunday. As a ministry, I think the slides might be useful to more teachers, but there is not a simple way to reach other teachers to let them know about the blog. If you are interested in helping me do that, please forward a link to your Education minister with a note asking him to forward it to his buddies at other churches. Thanks!
This week lesson “Await God’s Timing” is based on Habakkuk. It's a good one. You know the expression, “a watched pot never boils”. It was like that with Habakkuk, who observed the surrounding evil and wondered why God was slow to save. God’s revelation helped him, and it will help us learn to wait confidently on the Lord.
Carole Waina wrote the LifeWay Extra this week and to help members start thinking about time she offers an interesting introductory activity to have people mentally count and discuss the meaning of the clocks, watches, or other time pieces they have in their homes, as well as discuss key phrases like 24/7 and 356 days a year.
A different idea is to get members thinking about how impatient we can be. Have you ever gone to a movie and found yourself looking at your watch during the show? Have you ever changed lines hoping to find one offering faster service? What makes us impatient? You’ll find lots of suggestions on how to develop patience, but none are better than learning to trust an Almighty God.
