Stepping Out of the World & Into God’s Word

The introduction is a very important part of a Sunday School or other Bible study lesson.  A three page worksheet available through the MinTools.com store, Out of the World and into the Word, suggests that the introduction is necessary to get students’ attention so they step out of the world from which they came and into the Word.  As the worksheet says,

They come into class with a lot on their minds and hearts that can potentially distract and block them from hearing God’s Word.

• Do your teachers understand the importance of developing a good attention-getting introduction?
• Do your teachers realize that if time is short and they must cut something from the lesson, they should still provide a good introduction?
• Do your teachers feel free to adapt the introduction provided in their curriculum to their students, if necessary, to make it a better fit?
• Do your teachers understand how to develop an introduction that connects with their students?
• Do your teachers know different means of capturing students’ attention?
• Do your teachers know that the introduction is the last part of the lesson to be developed, if they are writing their own lessons, as they should first know where they are going in order to plan a good introduction?
