Here are the Jesus: All About Life fly videos.
This 5 part series takes a walk through Jesus’ life (Birth, healing a bling man, feeding thousands, dying and rising to life) from the point of view of a fly. They are very well done. Props to the campaign for an amazing DVD resource (these + Bigger than the World Itself). If anyone can share a legit place to download these, please share.
During the Jesus: All About Life campaign earlier this year, I was given a DVD to use as a resource for Sunday School. This DVD included 5 videos about Jesus from a flies point of view (will share soon), and a video called “Bigger than the World Itself”.
It’s about a boy who loves computer games, he gets hit on the head with a Bible and his world begins to grow.
As far as awesome resources for primary school ministry go. This is by far the best I have ever seen!
You can download it now here.
Sunday School needs a higher priority in our thinking.
Recently I have been reading a book called “The Fabulous Reinvention of Sunday School” by Aaron Reynolds. One of the key ideas that he states is that Sunday School lessons should be memorised.
Now this isn’t just the story/talk that could be memorised, but the whole thing! From what games you play, to any dramas or craft that you may want to use.
This is a big task.
The reason for memorising the lesson is so that what you teach will be as excellent as possible. If you are ready to say your next word instead of looking at a sheet, then you will probably be able to react to the situations that are before you.
I really like this big challenge.
I think that any step towards excellence in Sunday School is a good step to take, and I believe that Sunday School needs to have a high priority in our churches.
I believe that this extra effort of memorising lessons is a worthwhile investment.
