B.L.T.- Sunday School Lesson Test

This week we had run "Bible Lesson Test" for Sunday School Children & Teens. Teachers and parents were preparing it for a few weeks based on the lesson of this month: 1. Jesus is Baptised 2. Temptation of Jesus 3. Jesus Chose Disciples. The test was provided in three different levels with the written & oral format.




The answer to the question "Why Test?" is the same for the Sunday Children & Teens as for any other child & teen at school. We all want our children to receive good educations to succeed in college, on the job, and in life. And we all understand how test can provide detailed information about the child's learning needs, and measure child's progrees. Then, "Why Not Test?"

The purpose of B.L.T. is provide good test. Good Test can ...

• Identify individual or classroom strengths and weakness in area of weekly Bible lesson based, allowing teachers to tailor thier lesson plans to focus more on areas of study where student need the most work.
• Allow the church, Christian Education Department, and Sunday School to indentify area of need and to target extra help and support in need.
• Help parents to restore the parentship in teaching God's word in home based.
• Encouraging children to work harder to meet the need of learning God's word to empower thier life.

It's not easy task, yet we are determind to work together as a teacher and as a parents. So Thank you, i Parents, and Suday School teachers who has been work so hard to teach our children to learn the word of God with the Sprit of 3.5!

Sunday School Lesson: January 24

Theme: Jesus Chose His Disciples
Bible Story: John 1:35-50; Mark 1:16-20; 2:13-14; Luke 6:12-16
Memory Verse: Romans 12:1

"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service."

Key Point: While Jesus was on earth, He chose twelve disciples to follow Him. The twelve disciples were ordinary men whom God used in an extraordinary manner. The Bible record the constant failings, struggles, and doubts of these twelve men who followed Jesus. However they transformed into powerful men of God who turned the world upside down. (Acts 17:6)

Ask children how Jesus called His disciples, and what did the disciple take with them when they followed Jesus? Encourage the children to make a difference in the world as Jesus' disciples.

Sunday School Lesson: January 17

Theme: Jesus is Tempted
Bible Story: Mathew 4:1-11
Memory Verse: James 4:7


"Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will free from you."


Key Point: How we can overcome the attack of our enemy, when he comes to take us out of God's will for our life.

It is important for children to undertsand the key words like "Fasting" and "Temptation. " Help children to answer the three ways that the devil tempted Jesus and how Jesus' used the word of God to win over the temptation.

Ask children the questions like; 1. Why Jesus was tempted by devil even though He is God? 2. How did Jesus win the victory over the devil's temptation?

Middle school class

Week: January 24, 2010
Theme: LOVE
Bible key verse: There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because he first loved us. 1 John 18-19.

This past week we have learned about love by loving one another, including our brothers and sisters. " if anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God who he has not seen." -1John 20 We learned that without love, we are nothing because God IS love. Love revolves around our lives and if we have a perfect LOVE relationship with God, we have nothing to fear.

this past month, we also have been learning different things from working for the Lord wholeheartedly and not for men (Colossians 3: 23-24), although we can not physically see God we know he is there (hebrews 11:1), and for the new year, getting rid of our old corrupted selves and putting on a new self by maturing and growing away from decietful things by having a new attitude in the ways of God. (ephesians 4: 22-24)

Sunday School Lesson: January 10

Theme: Jesus is Baptised
Bible Story: Matt. 3:1-17
Memory Verse: Mark 16:16
Key Point:

1. John's baptism, water baptism is for repentance and the remission of sins.
2. Jesus' baptism is a baptism of Holy Ghost and fire.
3. God loved Jesus and was very pleased with Him.
   

Today children learned Baptism of Jesus Christ. It is important for children to understand the key words like; Baptize "to immerse in water for the forgiveness of sins" and Repent "To turn away from wrong and toward right."

Ask children questions like; 1. How did John feel when Jesus asked him to baptize him? 2. Why Jesus Christ was baptised by John Baptist as God Himself who has no sin?

Parents Meeting

Dear iParents,

Last Sunday Parent Meeting was held at Board Room. We found lots of supports and encouragement in a variety of ways. We shared our goals and weekly lesson plans with the parents from month of January to April.

With reinforcement from the parents we planned to create the better learning environment for families in general and children in particular. We recognized the need to increase the quantity and quality of growing as individuals, and families. We also recognized monthly scheduling test for each children based on Sunday School lessen.

To able to meet the goal we will continue to offer the list of resources we hope will encourage and equip parents in seeking God's presence, wisdom and provision for each children.

iParents, please join us together to spiritual and scriptural journey to empower our children's life!

3.5! That all we need ....

2010 theme of OBMBC

3. 5

Today children were introduced 3.5 theme of 2010. Read Matthew 5:13 with children at home and talk about being salt as Christian.

"You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men."

During the children worship we did run simple lavatory testing that delighted the children's attention. We used salt (3.5 %) and water (96.5 %) to test out the saltiness of sea water. All you need is table salt (or sea salt), clean water, bowl, and weigh measure machine. Children will love to show you this demonstration at home.
