P
opular Bible teacher and writer Tony W. Cartledge writes each of the weekly Bible studies in Baptists Today (beginning on page 18). Themes are based on selected texts from the Revised Common Lectionary. These lessons — found exclusively in this Nurturing Faith section of Baptists Today — form the foundation for the teaching resources for all age groups. Each class participant should have a copy of Baptists Today with these lessons in hand. Christian educator Rick Jordan of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of North Carolina provides a teaching plan for each lesson, available at nurturingfaith.net. His FIT FAITH approach to teaching allows for class engagement with the biblical texts as well as with one another. The Youth Lessons — found on pages 22-23 — build off of Tony’s Bible studies and direct these biblical truths to the daily lives of students. Curriculum developer David Cassady writes the youth lessons in the news journal, and student minister Jeremy Colliver provides the online teaching guides for each lesson found at nurturingfaith.net (or linked from baptiststoday.org).
Thanks sponsors! These Bible studies for adults and youth are sponsored through generous gifts from the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (Bo Prosser, Coordinator of Congregational Life) and from the Eula Mae and John Baugh Foundation. Thank you!
