Arrange a series of 4 teaching sessions on one section of, or one character in,

Arrange a series of 4 teaching sessions on one section of, or one character in, Exodus. For each session focus on a different text from the book. I recommend making the passage you wrote your exegetical paper on one of your passages. Make it look attractive (in color?) and usable by someone else (or you several years in the future). This assignment will bring together all of what we have discussed in this course into a series that you can use in your ministries.
In your introduction (less than a page):
i) State which book (not books) you have selected and why.
ii) Explain what type of teaching it will be (sermon, Bible study, seeker-friendly discussion, children’s Sunday school class, etc.).
iii) Describe who the audience is.
iv) Discuss how the series of sessions fits together. Give an overview (listing the 4 sessions by topic and passage). What is the progression? How have you organized it?
For each of the 4 sessions (a page or less per session, detailed outlines are acceptable):
i) For this assignment, you don’t need to double-space. But make each page look good.
ii) State the passage the session will focus on (but don’t include the passage in your notes, since that would take up most of the page). Limit the text to a reasonable size (5-25 verses).
iii) Give the main point and explain how you will emphasize it.
1) Which questions you will use? For discussions, avoid Yes/No questions (“Do you ever speak to God like Moses did?”). Use more open-ended questions.
2) What sub-points you will make?
3) What stories you will tell?
iv) Use creative means (media, visual aids, music, etc.) to get your point across.
v) Make a missional application. Address questions along the following lines:
1) How does this passage speak to (affirm or confront) your cultural context?
2) How are you encouraging your audience to reach out and be involved in ministry based on this text?
3) What types of people might be particularly encouraged by this text?
4) How does the session challenge people’s perceptions of God?
5) What concrete steps would you exhort people to take?
