Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
I used this object lesson to teach about hypocrisy to my Seminary class. First, I printed chewing gum inserts on card stock. Each insert was 140mm x 18mm and fit inside a Juicy Fruit wrapper.

I altered it to demonstrate that students in our class are also preparing for missions right now in ways they may not have considered. I am using it as independant work while I give out report cards and meet with…

This idea came from a Pinterest post by Erin Guinup. She didn’t post a link to a website, but posted a picture of her chalkboard from doing this activity that you can see at right. You can see her pin on my Seminary Pinterest page. Basically, you start with a topic. Each student is given a piece of chalk to write on the board their responses to the writing prompt. …

Monday of this week was a free day. I planned to celebrate birthdays with a party and watch movies, but my class president didn’t organize the food, so we ended up just watching Bible Video movies. Not great. I don’t like wasting time like that. Acts 13-14 – Paul’s First Mission My lesson objective this day was to talk about why some people accept the gospel while others do not,…
