- You are not your mentor. Or your mother. Or your pastor. Psalm 119:73 beautifully says, “Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding to learn your commands.”
- Pray and study God’s word constantly. At the bare minimum a bible teacher should be meeting with God once a day through scripture and prayer. It’s simply impossible to “pour out” God’s word if we are not allowing him to “pour in” the word.
- Prepare for preparation. Many teachers are initially shocked when they realize how much preparation it takes for a single lesson. The important thing to understand is preparation is about more than having a lesson ready: it involves prayer and constant affirmation from the Holy Spirit.
- Keep your life in order. Titus 2:11-12 says, “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say ‘No’ to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.”

When I was in high school, I had a teacher who was constantly burnt out. She would come to school every day in a disheveled mess, speak as if she dreaded the idea of even opening her mouth, and give up in defeat when anyone challenged an idea or raised a question. It was a literature class, where communicating about what we read was essential. As a...
Many churches now offer a “plug and play” style of lesson, where you are given a printout or email of the lesson before Sunday morning, and can essentially show up and read a script and be done. There’s nothing wrong with these lessons—in fact, in many ways they are excellent tools that enable more people to get involved with teaching Sunday School...
As mentioned earlier, it’s easy to sit and fantasize that you will have lovely, always listening, engaging children at each and every Sunday School class you have. However, this isn’t the case. Children have personalities, emotions, and thoughts, and they are learning how to navigate a world by using them.
So now that you’ve prepared yourself, prepared the lesson, and prepared for the different personalities you’ll encounter as a teacher, it’s time to talk about what you will do when it’s actually time to teach the lesson. You’ve got to convince, engage, instruct, and correct. First, before any learning can take place, you have to convince the kids y...

Some children respond better when it’s personal, and others, when the entire class is working as a community to earn something. Here are a few of the best tricks to minimizing bad behavior when you teach Sunday Sch...

Repeat the phrase you’ve learned together, and see how much the kids remember. This well help tie the entire lesson together, and also help you re-emp...
One of the biggest problems facing those of us who teach Sunday School is getting “burn out”. What starts out as something fun that you are excited to do every week can quickly turn into a chore if you get burn out. If you have the resources available, try sharing duties with another teacher. Perhaps that will mean that you go week-on/week-off, or ...
Proverbs 22:6. Make every minute count! *Infuse your Bible lessons with creative teaching techniques. *Motivate children to listen, learn, and enjoy class time. *Teach according to your students' abilities—their God-given bent. *Enhance your existing programs. *Create effective and engaging lessons. *Use exciting Bible memorization techniques.
Tips for Teaching Sunday School We will assume (for practical purposes) that you already have a group of students to teach, a place to meet, a lesson to present, and the support of your pastor.
Apr 15, 2015 · 1) A heart for God. This is where all ministry begins, whether you are teaching Sunday School or leading the entire church. In fact, this is where our ministry should flow from – our deep, sincere, committed heart for God. 2) A love for people.
