Teaching adult Sunday School impacts generations of people

When you think about all the different ministries within the church, teaching adult Sunday School has one of the biggest impacts on others. Think about it, every week, those within your Sunday School class give you 30 to 60 minutes to teach them how to live their lives. That’s remarkable! Where else in the world would an individual, much less an entire group of people, give you this opportunity? It’s really quite amazing. Your class may include doctors, lawyers, engineers, school teachers, moms, dads, grandparents, anyone, everyone. Yet, these individuals come to you on a weekly basis so you can teach them how to live a godly life!

Plus, your teaching impacts not only your listeners’ lives but also everyone connected to them, including their spouse, children, extended family, neighbors, coworkers, those within your church, and many others. To illustrate, let’s say a couple in your class is headed toward divorce, but instead of continuing down that path, they decide to work out their differences because of your weekly teaching. Their decision not only impacts their own life but also the lives of many others?

For example, the couple will remain together and bypass the pain and suffering involved in divorce. The couple’s children will likewise be saved from the pain, rejection, and other ill effects of divorce. Those ill effects often influence how the children treat others, including their own spouse and children. Your teaching adult Sunday School may even have a part in preventing their children from getting a divorce and starting the cycle all over again. Even the couple’s parents, now nearing the end of their lives, won’t have to painfully watch their child’s family fall apart.
