Enlarge Your Circle

On this morning after a excellent sermon by Apostle H. Daniel Wilson called Family Matters, Fight for Your Family, I had to an assignment this morning to observe a Rhema Word 2.0 class and the class was for the teens who are in high school. And I came away myself having learned something myself this morning. The lesson entitled Enlarge Your Circle was informative and entertaining.

The instructors, Teacher Carl H. and Teacher Robin B. started the class by having a young man pray to start the class. This is important because it gets the class involved right off. After briefing the class about the title Teacher Carl and Teacher Robin showed a video through a Internet feed. This is

an example of how young people learn today and that is visually. The video focused on issues most teens who attend church do not have to always to worry about issues such as hunger and homelessness. Seeing this video was a eye opener and I came away impressed.

The instructors then asked questions such as what is your immediate response, do you have empathy and what kind of action as a Christian would you take. Teacher Carl and Teacher Robin then broke the students into focus groups to see what responses the students would have. Once again this

allowed the students to be active in the class and provided a learning experience for all involved. The instructors then had members of the class to read from Galatians 5:22-25 and Luke 14:12-23 ( I even read one myself ). To close it out the instructors asked the students to think about using more humility and to have more hospitality for they are going to school with students who may not have the money to buy a lot of clothes, may not have a place to stay or may even hunger for food.

In closing I would like to commend Teacher Carl H. and Teacher Robin B. for allowing the Holy Spirit to use them as vessels for such an awesome teaching. The use of video to helped with instructions, the class setting with the class breaking out in focus groups was different in a good way and the instilling of words such as humility and hospitality are words that exemplifies how Christ lived and how we should live as well. As Apostle Wilson mentioned Proverbs 22:6 in his sermon, Teacher Carl and Teacher Robin are helping the Valley  Kingdom Ministries International, Rhema Word 2.0 and the body of Christ achieve this. Great job Teacher Carl. H. and Teacher Robin. I look forward to attending this class again for today I Enlarged My Circle. May God bless you all your days and pour back into the both of you that you poured out. Please join me next week as I observe another class to feature on the Rhema Word 2.0.
