All who are led by God’s Spirit are God’s sons and daughters. 15 You didn’t receive a spirit of slavery to lead you back again into fear, but you received a Spirit that shows you are adopted as his children. With this Spirit, we cry, “ Abba, Father. ” 16 The same Spirit agrees with our spirit, that we are God’s children. 17 But if we are children, we are also heirs. We are God’s heirs and fellow heirs with Christ, if we really suffer with him so that we can also be glorified with him.
The Middle School Teacher's Guide is an excellent tool that provides stimulating lessons designed for a wide variety of students. Middle school probably represents the most diverse age group you'll find in terms of personality and cognitive ability. A reflective "Teacher Devotional" prepares your heart and mind for the study, a short "Understanding the Bible" article helps you gain perspective on the Scripture, and a section on "Classroom Tips" makes your class time run more smoothly. There's also a pre-session activity for students who arrive early to class. Each four-step lesson plan starts with a "Lesson Focus" that is applied in each step. Then, you have an easy-to-follow guide that will take you step-by-step through the lesson.
