How to Teach Students to Have Healthy Christ-like Relationships - Teacher Training Resources
Jesus placed supreme importance on Christians loving others, next to love for God, which He identified as the greatest commandment (Matt. 22:37-40). Teachers must constantly bring students back to this primary purpose for their lives.
Use the seven-page Teacher's Role in Discipling Students in Christ-like Relationships Worksheet to determine what constitutes spiritual maturity in regard to relationships. It will guide you in thinking through where your own students appear to be with a view to helping them get to the next level.
(This worksheet can stand alone or be used in conjunction with the Teacher's Role in Discipling Students PowerPoint presentation as a break-out session or independent study.)
