To engage the learners in a study of the Scripture text:
Extend the Into the Word study by distributing copies of the “Power and Authority” exercise from the activity page, which you can download here. Have groups complete it as indicated to contribute to ensuing whole-class discussion.
Another option is to distribute copies of the “Nothing but the Blood” exercise from the activity page for one minute of individual work. Award a token prize to the first to finish correctly.
- If all your learners are online, consider using Zoom Breakouts (which you can learn about here).
- If some of your learners are online and others are in the classroom with you, consider breaking the in-person learners into groups together and using Zoom Breakouts for the online learners.
Note: Whenever you distribute copies of anything, use hard-copy (paper) handouts for those physically present and e-copies for those joining online via Zoom, etc.
Tip: For a tutorial on how to use Zoom breakouts, go here. For many other Zoom tutorials, see here. A key to using Zoom effectively without fumbling is to practice ahead of time!
