Co-teacher Curt did an excellent job yesterday teaching Matthew 18, employing an analogy of the extremes on the rating scale used in many large companies to rank people in an annual personnel review. Curt taught not only the points made by Jesus, but he also highlighted the teaching method used by Jesus.
This week’s lesson “A Place for All” will be difficult to teach since the background includes four chapters, Matthew 19:1-22:46. David Self’s commentary tackles all four chapters. Mark Rathel’s commentary: “The Sanctity of Marriage”is limited to the first six verses of chapter 19. Travis Frampton’s comments focus on an application, which he titled, “The Call to be Jesus”.

Jeff Meyer’s lesson plan is more like what LifeWay planned. His question: “When someone eats fruit from their grocery cart without buying it first?” captures the crucial idea of the importance of behavioral norms in society. I recommend reading Jeff’s comments and introducing your lesson with a discussion of his question to get members thinking about “breaking the rules”.
