Most valuable asset

A Place for All” is based on Matthew 19:1-15. On Sunday, I’d like not to omit key passages in the background chapters 20, 21, and 22. How to accomplish this is tricky.

The lesson could quickly turn into a survey if too much is included, but deviating from the LifeWay lesson focus potentially short changes members who took time to read the Quarterly in advance. I also don’t want to discount the many hours in prayer that I know this lesson received during preparation at LifeWay.

None of the alternatives are satisfying, but Sunday’s coming, and Lord willing, we must be prepared. What approach are you taking?

I return to Sonshine’s questions again, which focus on the interaction of the rich, young ruler with Jesus. If you take that approach, consider setting it up by asking members to identify their most valuable asset. Reputation? Career? Health?
