Once Upon a Time – Telling Stories That Teach

Sabbath School Net Posted on January 9, 2014 by Lillianne LopezJanuary 16, 2014avatar
http://www.goodsalt.com/details/prcas2569.html?r=ssnet

I love a good story, don’t you? Storytelling is a distinctly human trait. No matter how proficiently animals like dolphins, apes and some birds can communicate with us, they don’t care about stories. People, on the other hand, seem to be born craving stories. Think about the child at bedtime: “One more story, Mommy! Just … Continue reading –>

Friday: Further Study: Discipling Through Metaphor

Sabbath School Net Posted on January 9, 2014 by Sabbath School LessonApril 17, 2014avatar

Further Study: Read Ellen G. White, Teaching in Parables, pp. 17-27, in Christ’s Object Lessons. “Jesus desired to awaken inquiry. He sought to arouse the careless, and impress truth upon the heart. Parable teaching was popular, and commanded the respect and attention, not only of the Jews, but of the people of other nations. . … Continue reading –>

Thursday: Christ’s Creative Legacy

Sabbath School Net Posted on January 8, 2014 by Sabbath School LessonApril 17, 2014avatar

After the record of Christ’s ministry is completed, the telling of parables seems to have disappeared from Scripture. What explains this phenomenon? Certainly the largest remaining segment of the New Testament centers around Paul. Fourteen New Testament books have been attributed to Paul, and nearly half of Luke’s historical narrative in Acts revolves almost exclusively … Continue reading –>

The Prodigal Son Is In Good and Regular Standing

Sabbath School Net Posted on January 8, 2014 by Curtis HallMay 19, 2015avatar

Whenever the subject of the prodigal son comes up, we picture a young person who has lost his way. We use this story, and rightly so, to show the dangers of a life of aimless, godless living. For many mothers and fathers this story gives hope to the day that their own “prodigal” child returns … Continue reading –>

Wednesday: The Revolutionary’s War

Sabbath School Net Posted on January 7, 2014 by Sabbath School LessonApril 17, 2014avatar

Christ’s ministry was revolutionary but without the common weapons. His tools were infinitely more powerful than were swords or knives. Life-changing words, frequently expressed through parables and metaphors, became His not-so-secret weapons in the fight against evil. Christ’s tactics and strategies caught many leaders off guard; they were ill-equipped to counter the power of His … Continue reading –>

02: Discipling Through Metaphor

Sabbath School Net Posted on January 6, 2014 by Curtis HallJanuary 6, 2014avatar

Seven miles had never appeared as long as they did that day. Just a few days before, the two friends had expected that their journey home would be joyful and full of good memories. But instead of recounting tales of fellowship and feasts, they were downcast and sad. Unexpected tragedy had replaced all celebration. Now … Continue reading –>

02: Discipling Through Metaphor – Teaching Plan

Sabbath School Net Posted on January 6, 2014 by Michael FrackerJanuary 19, 2014avatar

Teaching plan for Discipling Through Metaphor January 6, 2014] 1. Have a volunteer read 2 Samuel 12:1-7. a. Ask class members to share a thought on what the … Continue reading –>

Tuesday: Agricultural Analogies

Sabbath School Net Posted on January 6, 2014 by Sabbath School LessonApril 17, 2014avatar

Read Matthew 13:1-30. What was Jesus teaching His audience about discipleship? What lessons can modern Christians derive from these metaphors? Christ’s parable of the sower is familiar to many readers. The setting for the story was commonplace for an agrarian society, something to which Jesus’ listeners could easily relate. The connection with discipleship is obvious. … Continue reading –>

Monday: Architectural Wisdom

Sabbath School Net Posted on January 5, 2014 by Sabbath School LessonApril 17, 2014avatar

Read Matthew 7:24-27. What do these verses contribute to our understanding of Christian discipleship? Why do you think Jesus used this example from nature to teach such a crucial truth? Modern literate societies take literacy for granted. However, even today, numerous nonliterate societies exist. Throughout ancient history literacy was the exception rather than the rule. … Continue reading –>

Sunday: Old Testament Examples

Sabbath School Net Posted on January 4, 2014 by Sabbath School LessonApril 17, 2014avatar

Read 2 Samuel 12:1-7, Isaiah 28:24-28, Jeremiah 13:12-14, and Ezekiel 15:1-7. How do these parables and allegories expand our understanding of God’s relationship with humankind? Which objects or settings utilized by these prophets later appear in Christ’s parables? As we can see, Nathan tells a parable in order to disguise the real purpose of his … Continue reading –>
