"Good morning, everyone! Today, we're diving into a very special topic: Kerygma. Can anyone tell me what the term Kerygma means?"
[Pause for responses.]
"That's right! Kerygma refers to the core message of the Gospel—the proclamation of Jesus Christ. It's more than just a story; it's a powerful message that has been shared for centuries. We’ll explore how this message continues to impact our lives today, much like the life and teachings of Jesus. So, let's get started!"
"Now, I’m going to read some important scripture passages that illustrate Kerygma. I want you all to follow along on your printed handouts. Listen carefully, as we’ll be discussing these passages right after."
[Read selected scripture passages aloud.]
"Great! Now that we've read these passages, take a moment to reflect on what they mean in the context of Kerygma."
"Now we’re going to break into groups of four. Each group will receive a set of discussion prompts related to the readings. I want you to discuss how the story of Jesus applies to your lives. Think about personal experiences, feelings, and any insights you may have. Let’s take 15 minutes for this discussion. I’ll walk around to support you if you have any questions."
[Circulate among the groups, providing assistance and encouragement.]
"Time’s up! Let’s gather back here."
"Now, I’d like each group to share some of the key points from your discussions. Remember, this is a chance to hear from each other, not formal presentations. Just a few sentences about what you talked about. Let’s start with Group One."
[Facilitate the sharing, summarizing and connecting thoughts as they are shared.]
"Thank you, everyone! I love hearing how each of you connected with Jesus's story. It really shows that His story never truly ends; it lives on through each of us."
"For homework, I want you to write a one-page reflection on your own experience related to Kerygma and the ongoing story of Jesus. You can be creative with this—write, draw, or create a combination of both. Take some time to think about how you can share your 'Jesus story' with others. I’ll be distributing the homework assignment sheets now. Please make sure to review the expectations and the due date."
[Pass out homework assignment sheets and review them with the class.]
"Feel free to ask me any questions if you're unsure about anything."
"Before we wrap up, does anyone have any final thoughts or questions about today’s lesson?"
[Allow time for student questions.]
"Thank you all for your participation today! Remember, sharing your story is an important part of your faith journey. See you all next time!"
