To begin the session:
Distribute copies of the “Yesterday, Today, and Forever” exercise from the activity page, which you can download here. Allow one minute to complete as indicated. Ask, “How many of your ‘always’ statements are really true? What would life look like if they were all true?” Give opportunities for participants to discuss.
Make a transition as you say, “Things of earth do not stay the same forever. But in today’s lesson, pay attention to that which is praised for being eternal and constant.”
To engage the learners in a study of the Scripture text:
Distribute the envelopes you have prepared before class per the instructions on the “He Does, We Do” facilitator exercise (it’s on the activity page that you can download). Instruct participants to match the first and second parts of the verses as quickly as possible. This is a closed-Bible speed drill!
