Emphasis Preaching Journal

What greater joy for any church than to have a faithful Sunday school staff. These women and men take the children who are entrusted to them each fall, teach them Bible stories, share their faith with the students, and most importantly, model the Christian faith in their lives and by their words. In many ways, these teachers can pray Jesus' high priestly prayer (John 17) themselves, on a simpler scale. Although these teachers do not ask to be glorified by and in front of the congregation, a token of thanks and appreciation is certainly in order.
