Bible Study Teacher Sign Up Thread

[reddogs]

This is the 'Sign Up' thread for those who want to be teachers in the New SDA/Bible Study Forum.

Per pending vote on rules, the Bible studies will be started and lead by individuals who are Seventh-day Adventists and who sign up to be a teacher. Per pending rules, if any challenge is made to the teacher, they can ask to be approved by a majority vote.

Since it is pending on the vote on rules, it will be used as a list for those wishing to teach, then if/when the rules approving it are passed, as the list of the teachers in the New SDA/Bible Study Forum if no challenges.

Sign in and for the first time we will have everyone fill out a short questionaire so that those coming in can know a little about their teacher.

Here is the site for 'The Adult Sabbath School Bible Study Guides' or the Sabbath School Lessons:

I'd love to, but I'm going to stick to periodic vollenteering as I'm too much a newbie.

I was just thinking, that maybe we need to have some guidelines and an explination of what exactly the teachers would be doing, before people apply.

Like, for example, how many teachers can be selected. The difference between a teacher and a vollenteer. The process of how studies will be set up.

Also, maybe an actual questionaire to fill out when applying. Like, how long you've been a Christian/Adventist. have you taught before. Why do you want to do this. What topics are you hoping to teach on..etc.

What do you guys think?

(This is still fine to set up those who are wishing to, though)

I agree. There should be certain criteria to qualify people for teaching.

How about we put this on the side-burner untill the rules are all worked out? It might be better to stay focussed on one process at a time, for now.

Yes, but I had already stuck my foot in by posting the Bible Lessons for this quarter which is what I had talked about doing from the start. So I thought we should do it in a orderly fashion to prepare for the rules, so signing up does no harm and allows for a orderly review of who is putting any bible studies.....

Dont worry, God is guiding we just have to follow....

I have decided to remove my name from the list of teachers. I'm having issues with the way things are going in here (the SDA forum and CF in general), and I'm not sure that this is going to work out.

I do want to continue on with the memory verse thread though. I could really use that kind of fellowship right now.

Hello my brothers and sisters,

May I suggest that Red go ahead with the Sabbath School Lessons. It would seem to be in the best interest of all concerned to start using the regularly schedualed SS Lessons guides as soon as possible because each day that goes by is another day that we as a group won't have covered what is available for study. This is not to say that we couldn't go back and cover them later, but I think you all will agree that that is most unlikely.

In addition, there may be some who dont have a SS Quartely and next week we start a new quarter with a new topic. By starting now we will each have a complete set of lessons for our own refference when the quarter is finished in December. These notes may include additional thoughts from others that otherwise would not be had.

I must say that Red has done his homework well. He has posted two excellent links to help you sudy. Also by starting now with the SS Lessons you will get used to studying together. I really don't think anyone will get off topic or start any debate over the SS Lessons.

Do I hear an AMEN?

Respectfully, your brother in Christ,
Doc

Wonderful, Doc. I totally agree. Considering it's just going along with the quaterlies there's really no need for any sort of criteria to chose Red, I don't think.

Wasn't aware we were already at a new quarter! I haven't touched mine since July when I last made it to church. Shame on me!

Looking forward to studying with you guys!

Sorry to hear that, Woob. Nonetheless, I can understand. Maybe by the time we actually get around to having this all up and running you'll change your mind!

 

[OntheDL]

Yes, Red, please make SS into a sticky. So people who wish can participate in it.

I was thinking of making a subfora for SS. But that'd be too many layers.

Thanks!

 

[TrustAndObey]

Where is the "DOH" smiley when you need it?

 

[sentipente]

Woob, you have not asked for my advice so I won't give it. However, based on several years of counseling experience your "withdrawal" post indicates that you could use it if you so desire.

Thanks for the 'resume' entry.

I really hope this ends up for the better, so many have concerns about it.

Hello to all,

Here is my application to be a teacher:

"How long have you been a member of the SDA church?"
All my life except for a couple of hiatus'.

"Why do you wish to be a teacher here?"
There is a need for those who are new Christians, and those who are new to the faith, to learn how understand the basics of Bible study so that they can grow in faith and clearly defend their faith.

"Have you had any previous teaching experience?"
Yes. I have taught a varity of subjects including, but not limited to, the training of denominational workers for evangelism.

"What subject(s) do you have in mind to teach?"
I would like to take the student completly through the Bible basics for study and progress through principal topics that need to be understood.

If anyone has additional questions please feel free to ask.

Respectfully, your brother in Christ,
Doc

 

[sentipente]

It would be helpful to know the teaching philosophy of these teacher wannabees (couldn't think of another way to phrase it.)

Thanks for the 'resume' entry.

I'm sure you noticed that I considered it to 'be on file' until if and when the forum would open up to true honest and open Bible study without pre-determined answers to questions.

Why would anyone have concerns about someone who has lived and taught SDA beliefs, teachings, culture, doctrine, and theology their whole lives?
