Teach from the manual first
The lesson comes from the Church’s seminary manual

As we study the scriptures, the Lord can provide help to deepen our understanding of His word.
New Testament Seminary Teacher Manual (2027). Follow your coordinator’s pacing guide.
Open class

Review

Try one new tool
Send this to your class chat after the lesson. Students and parents can open the story and resources at home, alone or with family.
“And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.”Acts 8:31
Ask: Which study tool helped you understand something new this week?
Try: Pick a verse you don’t fully understand. Open its footnotes, then look up one word in the Bible Dictionary or Guide to the Scriptures.
