Means of Learning About & Expressing Life in God

God’s Word - The Bible is the ultimate and primary source for understanding God and His will.  All else should be filtered through His Word.  (2 Tim. 3:16-17; Ps. 19:7-11)  God’s Word leads to faith and spiritual growth as it is studied and applied to life.  (Rom. 10:17; Heb. 5:12-6:1)

Life Circumstances or Simulations of Real Life - God uses our circumstances to teach us as we have opportunity to see His Word at work; God fulfilling the promises in it and leading us to righteousness and conformity to His Son through both the good and bad of life. (Rom. 8:28-29; 2 Cor. 1:3-5; Heb. 12:3-11; James 1:2-4)

Nature - God’s wonders in nature teach us about the glory of God, leaving us without excuse for not believing in and honoring God as the One of whom there is no greater.  (Ps. 19:1-6; Rom. 1:18-21)

Music - Music is usually viewed as a vehicle of praise but it is also a way to instruct and build each other up in the Lord. (Eph. 5:19; Col. 3:16)

One Another - God uses relationships with others to teach us about Himself and equip us as we exercise our spiritual gifts in serving one another. (Eph. 4:11-16; Col. 3:16; 2 Tim. 2:2) This can happen face-to-face, through the printed page, the Internet, or even through fun and games together.

All of these various means of learning about and expressing life in God, and other ways as well, can be brought together in the classroom through learning centers.  Such variety will give students opportunity to grasp a truth from different perspectives, helping to reinforce and drive it home.
