Level: 3, Lesson: 9
FORGIVENESS

***SPECIAL STUDENT NOTE***

This lesson does not have any questions for you to answer at the end. When you have finished, you may proceed on to the next lesson. Also, all of the lessons in the entire Discipleship/Evangelism program were originally designed as printed material, cassette tape, and video… We have adapted them all to the internet. Therefore, in these last remaining lessons you may here the instructor on the audio portion referring to a video or a tape. Simply disregard this reference to a tape or video as it does not pertain to these internet lessons. Thank you very much for your understanding.

Outline

1. In teaching discipleship lessons, ALWAYS TAKE THE PEOPLE YOU ARE MINISTERING TO, TO THE SCRIPTURES (Mark 16:15,20). MAKE THEM READ IT OUT LOUD (Acts 8:30).
   
   If available, you may want to use different translations to help bring out the meaning of a passage.
   
   IF THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND A POINT, MAKE THEM READ IT OUT LOUD AGAIN FROM THE SCRIPTURES UNTIL THEY ARE SEEING THE TRUE MEANING.
2. QUESTION THE PEOPLE UNTIL THEY ARE GIVING YOU THE RIGHT ANSWERS FROM THE SCRIPTURES. Try not to tell them the answers, try to help them see it for themselves.
3. Illustrate the point of the scriptures with examples if possible.
4. ILLUSTRATE THE POINT OF THE SCRIPTURES WITH A STORY FROM JESUS' TEACHINGS: The Book of Acts, the Old Testament, etc., if possible. THIS IS WHERE MOST REVELATION COMES TO THE INDIVIDUAL!
5. Put feeling into what you are saying. Interject yourself into the story you are telling.
6. Trust the Holy Spirit to guide you, give you direction and wisdom (James 1:5). Don't depend upon a tape or teacher's guide to do the work.
