  25. Stand on Your Convictions

  26. Agree or Disagree For a teacher to “teach” a student must “learn.”

  27.  “Now, Israel, listen to the statutes and ordinances I am teaching you to follow, so that you may live, enter, and take possession of the land the Lord, the God of your fathers, is giving you. Deuteronomy 4:1 (HCSB)  Moses summoned all Israel and said to them, “Israel, listen to the statutes and ordinances I am proclaiming as you hear them today. Learn and follow them carefully. Deuteronomy 5:1 (HCSB)

  28.  “Now, Israel, listen to the statutes and ordinances I am teaching you to follow, so that you may live, enter, and take possession of the land the Lord, the God of your fathers, is giving you. Deuteronomy 4:1 (HCSB)  Moses summoned all Israel and said to them, “Israel, listen to the statutes and ordinances I am proclaiming as you hear them today. Learn and follow them carefully. Deuteronomy 5:1 (HCSB)

  29. Then Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20 (HCSB)

  30. Then Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observeeverything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20 (HCSB)

  31. Then Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20 (HCSB)

  32. Agree or Disagree Knowledge of the facts of the Bible should be the ultimate goal of the Sunday School teaching/learning experience.

  33. Agree or Disagree Christian teaching is not complete until Christian actions result.

  34. Agree or Disagree Since God said, “My word… will not return to Me empty,” teachers should be content to lecture on Biblical truths and leave the results to God.
