Disciple-Making Encounters: Revolutionary Sunday School

by Darryl Wilson

Overview

Teacher preparation for Sunday School can become monotonous and routine. But when you open God's Word and encounter Him in personal Bible study, your life as a teacher will be radically changed. That first encounter with God prepares you and transforms your presentation from a predictable lesson to a facilitator-led, revolutionary, classroom encounter with God. Your purpose and your passion will focus on directing those in your group to meet God and be inspired by an encounter with Him in His Word. Walk with me on a journey with simple but transformational steps and make a revolutionary change in your Sunday School preparation and presentation.
