THE TEACHER'S CALL
Many Sunday Schools are outfitted, equipped and ready to go, but they lack one of the most important
and essential things that is absolutely necessary if the Sunday School is to be a success and is to be used of
the Lord and is to train pupils for the Lord.
THE TEACHER'S CALL
This is the teacher.
Unless the Sunday School has teachers that are called of God, willing and prepared to teach and "full of faith and of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 6:5) all the methods and programs will fail. The call is to all believers. (Isaiah 6:8)
THE TEACHER'S CALL IS FROM GOD
to cause to know a subject
TEACH (Webster's Dictionary); to show,
instruct
to make to know
to cause to know how
THE WORD "TEACH" IN THE BIBLE
to accustom to some action or attitude
THE WORD "TEACH" IN THE BIBLE

THE TEACHER'S RESPONSIBILITY
I am now a teacher; what is my responsibility?
THE TEACHER'S RESPONSIBILITY
To whom am I responsible, and what is my task?
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE TO THE LORD
The teacher's commission comes from the Lord. (Eph. 4:11)
DO NOT teach just because the superintendent needs you and you hate to turn him down
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE TO THE LORD
When the emphasis is place upon a
God-given responsibility, not a sense of
duty, then you will do your best for the
Lord in living and teaching.
You should only teach because you realize it
is a God-given responsibility and the Lord has called you to teach
Remember, God is counting on you.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE TO THE PASTOR AND CHURCH
TO THE
PASTOR AND THE CHURCH
RESPONSIBLE TO HIM AS SPIRITUAL LEADER
TO THE PASTOR
go to him and frankly discuss it with him with an open mind
You must respect the judgment of the Pastor
TO THE PASTOR
YOU MUST WORK IN FULL COOPERATION WITH HIM
(HEB. 13:7)
If you do not agree with him, let it not lead to strife or hard feelings
You are expected to be regular in attendance, faithful in services, giving, visitation, etc
To be an example to your pupils.
If you are "all out for the church" your pupils will be also.
TO THE CHURCH
If the teacher is a regular attender of all services, is faithful in visitation, a tither, etc., the pupils are more apt to follow.
TO THE CHURCH
You are responsible to see that the pupils are fully trained in all things in which they should receive training in for the age level you are teaching.
To see that your class becomes and is a part
of the church and not a unit in itself.
In this way as they progress step by step they will become healthy, strong church members and not stunted ones.
LEAD THEM
Like Teacher Like Pupil!
WIN YOUR PUPILS
Let your pupils find in you a real leader in giving, in testimony, in memorizing
the Scripture, in thoughtfulness, and in your willingness to cooperate.
PRAY FOR YOUR PUPIL
You are an example!
Pray for each pupil in the class
Never stand before your class to teach without having spent time in prayer
TO THE
CLASS AND PUPILS.
COUNSEL THEM
WORSHIP WITH THEM
TO THE
CLASS AND PUPILS.
Your pupils are watching you all the time
Bowed heads during prayer, joining in the singing, and an evident interest in the service will pay dividends in the
class
TEACH THEM
TEACH THE WORD
ENCOURAGE THEM
show an attitude of humility and devotion toward God
REMEMBER THE LESSON AND MEMORY VERSE ARE THE PRIMARY THINGS IN EACH CLASS PERIOD
Whispering during prayer, inattention during the service will bring about the same attitude from your pupils.
DON'T WASTE TIME
HOLD THEM
To the Parents Who are Saved
To the Parents Who are UnSaved
Usually
these will be the parents who are in church
and who bring their children to Sunday
School
In most cases
these parents will not be in church or
Sunday School.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE TO THE PARENTS OF YOUR PUPIL.
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE TO THE
PARENTS OF YOUR PUPIL
Remember
they are entrusting their children in your
care, not for entertainment but for spiritual
teaching.
It is not enough
to try to see how many children we can bring into our Sunday School but you as the teacher are responsible to visit in the homes of the parents who are unsaved and present to them the Gospel, and seek to win them to Christ and to bring them into
the church
You are responsible
not only to teach them the spiritual truths, but set an example before them and not lead them astray
From time to time
as you visit in the homes you will be able to discuss with the parents of such pupils their spiritual problems, their individual needs and together you can ask the Lord for help in guiding these little ones into a
If you fail
in this task you are failing in your responsibility as a teacher and in turn you
are failing to give your pupil an opportunity to live in a Christian home and receive Christian training daily in the home as well as in the church.
