To engage the learners in a study of the Scripture text:
For a broader and deeper consideration of God’s presence and dwelling place, distribute copies of the “Where God Dwells” exercise on the activity page, which you can download here. Allow study pairs or triads to complete it as indicated for ensuing whole-class discussion.
- 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.
To encourage personal application:
Distribute copies of the “Heart Test” journal from the activity page as learners depart. Challenge them to log entries three times daily in the coming week. Promise to discuss results when the class meets again.
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!
