We are continuing on the thought of a few steps to grow us as teachers. And so the passage of scripture says meditate on these things, give thyself holy to them that thy profiting may appear to all. In other words, I want to be in the word of God in such a way that I am growing and I am maturing and it's working in my life and then, if it works in my life, I can help it work in their life. So you need to feel the importance of your lesson. Remember you only have one chance to teach that group of people this week. Please don't go in there slip shot, half prepared, not worried about what's going to happen. This is the big day, this is the big hour. This is what we're here about.
W. Austin Gardner:Teaching Sunday school is like important. So many times Sunday school teachers take it like it's just not that big a deal and they kind of like pass it off to anybody and let other people do stuff. And they're not. They just don't realize how important that one hour they have it's not even a full hour that they can teach a lesson. So be careful not to use old material, reheated stuff you haven't thought about, you haven't thought through the passage, you haven't thought through the message, you haven't prayed over the lesson. It can't be just something you pull off the hard drive. It can't be something you just snatch out of the lesson you have. It can't be just something you pull off the hard drive. It can't be something you just snatch out of the internet. It needs to be real and working in your life, that God is doing a work in your life.
W. Austin Gardner:Now I think maybe one of the strongest keys that we have is that we would love our students. When you love the students and you love the Bible and you love God, then all that love comes together. The students will feel it and that truth will work in their life. So they ought to be somebody you're praying for and thinking about. They ought to be your friends. You ought to be concerned about them and it ought to be like this is my one chance to be used of God, to make a big difference in their life. Let God use you as you teach and work there as a Sunday school teacher. So it's important what you're doing. You feel that you only got one chance to teach this group of people this week most likely. Don't use old material. Don't use things you've reheated and, most of all, fall in love with Jesus, fall in love with the word and fall in love with your students.
