Teaching by the spirit

Are you ready? Five straight weeks of Isaiah in Come, Follow Me

When I taught Sunday school, I both dreaded and looked forward to teaching Isaiah. Dreaded because people either (a) freak out, or (b) figure they know it all. I looked forward to it because it's all kinds of cool and approachable on so many levels.

One thing I like is how he often writes in poetic form and repeats ideas. For example in Isa. 1:18 "though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow" followed by "though they are red as crimson, they shall become like wool." It says the same thing, just in a different way. If you don't get it in one verse, don't panic! If you read the next verse or two, he'll probably say the same thing.

OK, you came here for the cartoon, not the Sunday school lesson. But if your family is like ours, we're getting way more out of our scripture study this time around than we did before Come, Follow Me. Enjoy these lessons — it'll be fun!
