How to Teach a Sunday School Class for Teenagers
Topic: How to teach a Sunday school class for teenagers MORE by teaching less
Why not just teach an InfoTransformational lesson?
Obviously, when teaching a Sunday school class for teenagers, the next logical question is, “Why not just teach informational lessons that are also transformational?” Well, if you can do this, by all means, do it. However, it is fairly difficult to do for at least three reasons. First, you’re limited in the amount of time you have to teach each lesson. Second, teaching a transformational lesson usually takes up all of the teaching time. Last, the teaching principles used to teach a transformational lesson are often different, or even opposite in some cases, from those used to teach an informational lesson.
Chapter 3 and 4 in Teaching To Transform Not Inform 1, continues to unfold this principle and explain the practical implecations it has for teaching transformational Sunday school classes for teenagers. You will also see why this principle makes it difficult to combine an informational lesson with a transformational lesson so that you end up with some sort of InfoTransformational lesson.
How to teach a Sunday school class for teenagers Tip: “Teach Less” in the sense of breadth of topics or verses covered in each lesson.
Without a doubt, it would be wonderful if you could consistently teach InfoTransformational lessons that present large chunks of information while also transforming lives. Unfortunately, as we shall see, what we often think is an InfoTransformational lesson is, in reality, an informational lesson in disguise. In my experience, most teachers who desire to be transformational, but violate the “teach MORE by teaching less” principle, end up teaching informational lessons.
