Through Jesus Christ, we can grow and change.
New Testament Seminary Teacher Manual (2027). Follow your coordinator’s pacing guide.
Open class
Statue or living?
Use with the lesson’s statue opener and the fixed and growth mindset definitions.
Review
Rewrite it
The manual’s skill: replace a fixed thought with a growth thought that relies on Jesus Christ.
Send home
You are not a statue
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 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;”1 Timothy 1:12
Ask: What fixed thought did you catch yourself thinking this week, and how did you rewrite it?
Try: When you hear yourself say “I can’t,” add “yet,” and say how the Savior can help.
