This technique is great for scriptures that have multiple great phrases of advice or wisdom, but that don’t require a whole lot of discussion to understand.
Either have students go in order through a passage, or write scripture references on the board and use Hey There Delilah or Cold-calling to have random students read verses. When called on, each student should state the “one-liner,” or the words or phrases that are the most significant in the verse. I am using this in Luke chapter 6:28-49 tomorrow in class. You may want to have students write their one-liners on the board, too.
