PRESENT A PREPARED LESSON

As part of the application process, you will be asked to prepare and present a 15-minute mock lesson designed for children between the ages of 4 and 10. The lesson should be Christ-centered and interactive. This lesson must include a doctrine of sin and our need for a

Saviour, as well as the gospel’s invitation, and the good news that is found in Jesus. You can choose a passage in the Bible that is a story or a teaching. Below is a sample scenario for your presentation that you can use as a template or reference. You cannot use this same passage.

Passage: The Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37)
Objective: To teach children the importance of loving others, regardless of their background, and treating everyone with kindness and compassion.

Lesson Structure:

1. Introduction (2 minutes)
   1. Begin by asking the children if they’ve ever helped a friend or a stranger in need, or when they didn’t help someone in need. Get a few examples to engage them.
   2. Introduce the story of the Good Samaritan, providing context about how people from different backgrounds were treated in biblical times.
   3. Briefly share that, as much as we know the right thing to do, we often fail to do it. Jesus’ story of the Good Samaritan helps us understand the requirement of love we should show all people in light of His love shown towards us.
2. Opening Prayer (1 minute)
   1. Lead a brief, simple prayer asking God to help the children learn and apply the lesson to their lives.
3. Bible Story (4 minutes)
   1. Read or narrate the parable from the Bible in a way that’s engaging, using simple language.
   2. Include visual aids, such as pictures or a short video (if available), to help bring the story to life.
4. Interactive Teaching and Discussion (5 minutes)
   1. Ask the children questions about the story:
      1. “Why do you think the other people didn’t stop to help?”
      2. “What makes the Good Samaritan different from the other people?”
   2. Include the children in the story
      1. Humanity’s state of being fallen in sin (Romans 3:10)
      2. Our and the world’s unwillingness or inability to meet our need for forgiveness (Psalm 32:3)
      3. The reality of our health and lives left untreated by God (Romans 6:23)
      4. How Jesus is the better Good Samaritan and what He did to bring about our healing and salvation (1 Peter 2:23-24)
   3. Application for the children
      1. How do we receive the help Jesus offers us? (Admit we are sinners, Believe Jesus can forgive us, and Commit to follow Him)
      2. How can we reflect Jesus’ love for others?
         1. Discuss how they can be like the Good Samaritan in their own lives (e.g., sharing the message of healing, being loving to others, helping a classmate who is hurt, or standing up for someone being treated unfairly).
5. Activity (2 minutes)
   1. Pair the children up and have them act out short skits showing ways to help others in everyday situations.
6. Closing Prayer (1 minute)
   1. Close with a prayer, asking God to open the eyes of the children to accept the help He offers so that everyone shows kindness and love to others as the Good Samaritan did.

The mock presentation provides an opportunity to demonstrate teaching and leadership abilities while delivering a lesson aligned with the church’s values.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

• Ability to engage children and keep their attention.
• Clarity and relevance of the biblical lesson.
• Interactive elements that encourage participation.
• Reflection of Christian values in both the content and delivery of the lesson.
• Creativity and enthusiasm in teaching.
