Biblically centered questions and answers?

Hi

I am looking to introduce a question and answer time in my Sunday School Class. Questions will be used to introduce lessons or subjects and/or to invite thinking and wonder. I would appreciate your help in forming a good list of topics with questions and answers for a resource tool.

My students are 5th and 6th graders but are advanced in their studies, knowledge, and biblical knowledge. I also have an interactive bulletin board for Junior and Senior Higher's.

Thank you

Biblically centered questions and answers?

The one thing that kids need to be taught that adults don't necessarily need to know is the whole creation/evolution debate.

Maybe your church is different, but the churches I have visited haven't had much about creation. This is most likely because the adults are confident enough in their beliefs that no one is going to sway them, and there are more important issues to deal with first.

But kids have to face their evolution-believing science teacher five days a week. To make matters worse, the adult is older, wiser, and most likely knows his science better. Especially for boys, this is a hugely important and largely ignored topic by most youth groups and Sunday schools.

So for Q%26amp;A time you could give hypothetical situations, like their teacher confronting them about their faith, or their friends, and ask them how they would react. But before you do that, you might want to actually teach your kids some science, so the questions would involve science, such as "Why is the human tailbone not (as many evolutionists claim) vestigal." Okay, so you might not want to ask that particular one, especial to a group of junior high boys, but you get the idea.

In fact, this general format would work for any sort of apologetics course. To introduce the topic, you could ask a question they will likely come up against sometime in their life, and then you could move on towards the lesson. At the end, you could ask how they would respond to the situation if it was their friend, not their Sunday school teacher, who was asking.

Oh, and whatever you do, don't treat them (especially the high-schoolers) like kids. They're going to need to learn to think and argue like adults, because they're approaching the age where they might have to start going up against adults, or at least kids who are parroting adults.

I realize this all has to do with apologetics, but in the age of atheistic public schools, I believe apologetics is even more important for kids than adults. I hope this helps, and good luck!

Friend,

Check out this site:

Don't let it overwhelm you, but use it as a starting point.

If that site's too difficult to bring to a 5th-6th grade level (I've never tried), then try these sites:

If these aren't very helpful for your purposes, then email me and I'll send you some more. Make sure you pray about the content of these sites and whatever you use, so you lead your students in the right direction.

May God bless you.
