Education without transformation simply produces better educated sinners. In this loving Bible study atmosphere, spiritual life change occurs. To know is not to do. Then, in weeks ahead, people begin to testify about how God has changed them. Others get under conviction and spiritual revival begins.
Discipleship is more than going through a book.
It is more than memorizing scripture. It is combining a caring-sharing atmosphere with a Bible study which results in life change. This is exactly what today's Sunday school hour needs to do. Sure, we want to grow numerically. Our denomination has seen Sunday school growth for two years in a row.
