Listen to music reflecting the attitude of the culture. Carefully select music to which your age group listens. Be sure to preview the lyrics carefully before using the song. Discuss how the message of the song compares to biblical instructions or discuss how your class can reach out to someone who believes what the song says. Write songs based on the lesson.
Adults often enjoy taking ideas or content from the lesson or Scripture and writing their own songs.
Choose two or three tunes before the session and ask learners to write a sing to that tune. Music, even with adults, can be one of the most powerful teaching tools you can use. Quick Tips is published weekly for the leaders of Sunday School ministries.
