Showing Your Walk

Posted by kezell on November 9th, 2010 under Bible Blog • 2 Comments

During my ten years of teaching Bible, I have included a faith element. I have always thought that knowing the Bible is a wonderful and important thing, but students need to be able to connect their Bible knowledge with their heart. I believe that Bible knowledge and the student’s Christian walk are intricately linked.

In my middle school classroom, I have tied whatever I am teaching to the theme of “Why did God make you” and “What are you going to do about it.” For example, when teaching the Bible story of Abram leaving his land to go to the promised land, I connected this story with how God is going to call the students to accomplish something for Him. He will show the students that he has created them for a purpose, and He wants them to follow after His will.

My question for you is how do you show your walk with God to your students? How do you integrate your life’s story with God’s story in your classroom?

Welcome to the CSI Bible Exchange. We are hoping this will be a place where you in the CSI community will share your work and ideas, as well as take something away that may help you in your classroom.This is a place to which you can come to find lesson plans, Bible activities, and extensions. If, on the other hand, you have a lesson plan, activity, or extension you would like to share, please pass it along to Kent Ezell at the email address below.

We are also pleased that this will be a forum in which we can discuss topics that have to do with the CSI Bible curriculum, “Walking With God and His People.” By placing yourself in community in this way, you will be able to collaborate with other teachers across North America.

I, like you, am teaching the new Bible curriculum. I am also the conduit between CSI and you, my fellow teachers, in my role as Bible Curriculum Specialist, and as such I am at your service. If you have any questions about the CSI Bible curriculum, please email me at kezell@csionline.org. God Bless!
