\"FAQ<\/p>\n

When teaching, some teachers will use a pre-fab curriculum and others will prepare their own Bible lessons from scratch.<\/p>\n

This frequently asked question relates to using a pre-fab curriculum.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What’s the best way for teachers to prepare lessons using a pre-fab curriculum?<\/h2>\n

Whether teaching with or without a set curriculum, we need to 1) have a good understanding of the Scripture being taught, 2) personalize it to our own lives, and 3) see how God works through it. When we do, we tend to be more enthusiastic and are in a better position to answer questions and help students see the benefits of applying it to their own lives. Consequently, when using a set curriculum, the best way to prepare should undoubtedly involve studying God\u2019s Word, not just reading through the curriculum manual. Consider reading and studying the Scripture used in the lesson early in the week before ever reading through the lesson book, asking God for a good understanding of His Word. This gives us time to personalize it and for God to work in our own lives. Then, later in the week, read through the curriculum and plan the presentation.<\/p>\n
