"Good morning, everyone! Today, we will explore a very interesting topic: God's revelation. So, let’s start with a question. What do you think it means when we say 'God reveals Himself'? Take a moment to think about this. Feel free to share your thoughts!"
Wait for a few responses, encouraging students to voice their ideas.
"Great! It seems like many of you have different ideas about God’s revelation. We’re going to dive deeper into this concept, so let’s get started!"
"Now, I want to hear more about what you all think. How do you believe God reveals Himself to us? Consider different aspects like nature, scriptures, or even personal experiences. Let's brainstorm together. I’ll write your ideas on the whiteboard."
Facilitate the discussion, jotting down students' responses as they share.
"Excellent insights! We’ve mentioned how God can communicate with us through creation, through the texts we read, and even through our own lives. Each way shows us something unique about who God is."
"Now that we have a better understanding, it's time for an activity! I have printable cards for each of you. I’d like you to fill these out based on our discussion. On your card, write down one way that God reveals Himself and an example for each. Use a marker or pencil to make it colorful and personal."
Distribute the printable cards and provide time for students to work on them, walking around the room to offer assistance as needed.
"Remember to think creatively and reflect on what we’ve talked about!"
"Time's up! Now, please pass your cards to the front. I’m going to collect them so I can have a look at what you all have written. Don't worry, I won't be calling anyone out on their answers today. I just want to see how you’ve engaged with the topic."
Collect the cards and take a moment to review some of the responses quickly. You can share a few examples without identifying students.
"I'm really proud of all your efforts. It’s fantastic to see your understanding of God's revelation!"
"For homework, I’d like you to think about a personal experience of revelation. Write a short paragraph about it, reflecting on how you felt and what it meant to you. Don’t worry, you won’t have to share it with the class unless you want to. Just keep it for yourself, and we’ll discuss it in our next class."
Explain any further expectations for clarity.
"Make sure to be thoughtful and reflective in your writing. I can’t wait to hear your ideas next time!"
"To wrap up our lesson, we’ve learned that God reveals Himself in many ways, and everyone’s experience can be different. Remember the key points we discussed today. If you have questions or thoughts before our next class, feel free to share them with me. Thank you all for your participation today!"
