Adult Bible Study Curriculum- Building Community

As a teacher of Adult Bible Study Curriculum you probably love teaching.  We have talked about this love and how important that love is. You have an important role to play as a teacher.  We have also talked about how it is hard to fit everything in.  With those two things at the forefront of our minds we usually battle to figure out how to use that time to its fullest.  This is good.  Again the role you play as a teacher is important.  But you also have to play a role of minister and group builder.  Often times the best way to build a group and to ensure that people are ministered to is to stop talking.  Occasionally you need to look at a lesson and realize that even though it is all important and there does not seem to be enough time for it all, some of the material must be sacrificed.  Some things must be left out so that you can put time in for people to get to know each other.  You mus allow time for you to challenge others to be a community, pray together, and minister to one another.  This will be a challenge but it is a necessity. So in the next few weeks as you study your Adult Bible Study Curriculum take time to look for ways to give up some of your moments and put in moments to build community.
