Our church, like many others, has difficulty finding teachers for Sunday School classes. This is especially true during the Summer Quarter. So, what we do each Summer is decide on some kind of theme, then we find 13 teachers and assign them a specific topic in that theme. Those teachers teach the same class twice (once in one room and once in another room, usually the next week).
This Summer we are doing biographies and I was asked to teach on the Apostle Paul. Now this is a challenge because how do you cover his biography in a single 45 minute class? You can't.
I just taught it my second week. I did it first in early July and then today...about 4 weeks in between. So, it wasn't as "fresh" to me today. Also, I was sick yesterday. On Friday my throat started hurting. Yesterday I started experiencing congestion, sinus headache, and general acheiness. I actually contemplated calling somebody to teach my class. Anyway, even though I wasn't feeling all that well, I went and taught my class. I felt punchy. My brain was certainly not "firing on all pistons."
I thought I did a good job, but I thought my first one was better. Erin disagreed. She said she was probably the only person who knew I wasn't feeling well and she thought I did a much better job this time.
Anyway, here are the lesson, a hand-out, and the PowerPoint.
