Top Ten Reasons Why You Should Consider Using Explore the Bible curriculum
Using a curriculum plan is a benefit to you, your class members, and your church. LifeWay believes people need solid grounding and teaching in God's Word to grow in Christ. Following a balanced curriculum plan provides a great foundation for Bible study that will help Christians achieve comprehensive biblical understanding and appreciation.
Explore the Bible uses a balanced, systematic approach to teach adults God's Word. During our current eight-year plan, Sunday School members will study every book of the Bible, alternating between the Old and New Testaments. The lessons highlight major themes and truths in weekly Scripture passages, encouraging personal study and life application.
Here are ten great reasons for selecting Explore the Bible curriculum for your class:
- A comprehensive plan - The book-by-book plan covers everything. Complete a systematic study through all the books of the Bible.
- Maximized planning time - Know what you're studying and why you're studying it, every week, every month.
- Balanced approach - If your pastor preaches topically, Explore the Bible's book-by-book approach will provide a healthy balance of teaching styles.
- Better training - If the majority of your classes used the same curriculum, you could provide ministry-wide training that would better prepare teachers for leading Bible study.
- Non-limiting leader guide - A curriculum plan does not impede your creativity or diminish your call to teach. Using the curriculum provides a Bible passage and a suggested central truth for the study. You can decide how to approach the passage, what truths you want to emphasize with your class.
- Easy training - Potential teachers can understand your plan for teaching and see how you're preparing to teach each week. Use the resources to enlist and train future leaders.
- Growth-inducing learner materials - Class members can use the curriculum resources for their personal Bible study and preparing for your class, ensuring better participation and deeper discussion.
- Find a sub - Using a common curriculum eases the search for a substitute teacher. If many classes are using the same curriculum and teaching from the same lessons, finding a substitute for your class is much simpler. They will already know what you're trying to accomplish with your class.
- Complete lesson scope and sequence - A good Bible study curriculum delivers scope, sequence, and relevance. Explore the Bible's scope is the entire Bible. Its sequence provides an annual balance of Old and New Testament, as well as different literary genres. The Leader Guide provides relevant teaching helps that will guide your class through each biblical principle, helping them understand and apply the passage's central truth.
- Scriptural soundness - LifeWay has been creating Sunday School curriculum since 1891. You can trust that Explore the Bible will remain devoted to the inerrancy, infallibility, and completeness of God's Word.
