INTERACTIVE TEACHING RESOURCE SESSION 2 God Is Key Statement: We know God exists by looking at 1) Creation, 2) Scripture, and 3) Humanity. Supplies Needed: Paper/Pens INTRODUCE THE LESSON Activity Begin this option by playing a game to help get students thinking about the lesson. To start, pass out blank sheets of paper and something to write with to each student. Next, present a question to the class for everyone to answer, such as “If you were given $100 dollars for the day and had to spend it, what would you spend it on?” Allow each student to write down thier answer on a piece of paper, then have them fold up their answers and turn them into the teacher. At this point, the teacher’s goal is to try and match each response with the correct student based on educated guesses. It can be really fun as you try to match your students up with the different responses. If time permits, play a couple of more rounds with different questions and allow students to do the guessing. One of the fun things about this activity is trying to match the answers to each person while working off of your background knowledge about them. In other words, there are marks from their personality that come out in their responses, almost like the personality and character traits that come out in a painter’s artwork and the fingerprints left behind in a sculptor’s masterpiece. At this time, turn to the transition section to begin the lesson. Activity For this activity, begin by discussing: what are some things found throughout nature that tell us about the qualities of God? Ask, “Have you ever been camping and really appreciated your surroundings – the colorful flowers, the diversity of wildlife, and the starry sky above?” Even if they haven’t been camping, students have nonetheless witnessed a number of wonderful things within nature. Ask them to share what some of those amazing experiences have been, and then follow-up by asking what these things tell us about some of God’s qualities. For instance, in seeing the beauty and intricacies of the flower one can see the knowledge and beauty and wisdom of God. Knowing that the flower came from a tiny seed that germinated in the ground and is now a radiant color, and whose system operates on a very complicated and complex process of photosynthesis, should make us appreciate all the more the genius and beauty of its Designer. Even more could be said when considering the stars in the sky, etc. Give students a chance to see what they may be able to discern of God from certain parts of His creation, and then move to the transition. TRANSITION Today’s focus is centered on exploring the case for a Creator by looking at creation, Scripture, and ourselves. Because our faith isn’t blind but based upon reasons and historical evidences, we will not only be encouraged in our walk with Christ but also better equipped to tell others who deny Him. Pressed for Time? If you are pressed for time, instead of deciding which point(s) to cut out completely, consider condensing each point to allow all points to be discussed. This approach will be helpful during this session, especially since each point adds something unique to the overall lesson.
