To Sunday School teachers

The unsung heroes of the Kingdom of God are often lowly Sunday School teacher. Nobody knows what they do. Nobody knows how much work goes into the lesson. Half-awake church members pile into the class and listen as the teacher works to unfold God to His children.

If you teach Sunday school, you have some decisions to make.

You can learn just enough to get by this next Sunday, or you can go deep with God in preparation this week.
Getting by will keep us moving forward.
Going deep will give us God.

You can repeat the lesson in the sunday school book, or you can look deeper and find out what the lesson may have missed.
Repeating the lesson teach your people to do the same in their personal bible study time.
Digging will make your students diggers.

The decisions are many and their effects are as far reaching as the Holy Spirit makes them. If you are a Sunday School teacher, know that I am praying for you every week because you are the person who is telling our people who God is. If you are a member of a Sunday School and you are not praying for your teacher every week, you are probably getting what you prayed for.

Let's not be arrogant and think that our current understanding of God is sufficient. If God is small enough for you and me to understand fully, we should find a bigger God.
