I’ve just taken the class at our church for the grades 1-3. I have been searching for interesting, but simple material. Some that will really teach these children the love of God and the respect they will need to get through life. I’ve found the videos very helpful, and I plan to use one this coming Sunday and will continue to look to you for great tips.
Thanks and God bless you in His service.

Hi Tony,
I got online this morning looking for a sunday school lesson for today, we didn’t have our usual books and i’m a new teacher ,who has never had to come up with my own lesson.We usually have books, worksheets and posters in a little kit. I used “Jesus’ Final Insructions and Ascension” it was ‘GREAT’! I used the questions at the end as a game for the children. You made my job so much easier and the children really opened up without a lot of papers in front of them. They had to really listen to answer the questions, which means that they will remember more of what they learned.Since they had to remember in order to answer the questions they can now share what they learned with others. Thanks so much… Tabernacle of Faith and Deliverance, upper elementary class, Sis. Priscilla
G’day Tony,
I am a new Sunday School teacher for 11-14 yrs old. I need help in what kind of reading and teaching materials I need to teach them. Your opinions will be much appreciated. Thank you..God Bless.
Good Afternoon Tony,
Starting the New Year I will be over the childrens church in our youth department. The age group i’ll have in my class is 5yr to 8yrs olds. I want this year to be a great one for the kids to learn about the Lord and for them not to be scared to participate and have lots of fun. I’m looking for good ideas in preparing my lesson plans. It will be a great help to me and my kids if you can start me in the right direction. My kids are very gifted and and eager to learn about the Lord on their level from a childs perspective.This is my first year learning kids. I look forward to hearing from you. thank you Be Blessed.

Hi Tony, my pastor asked me this morning to be the youth director, as well as the youth Sunday School teacher…do you have any lessons focused on grades 7-12? Your help in this matter would be appreciated. I will have a leader study book, but your ideas are so fresh, I thought I’d better check with you for additional info.
Thanks and God bless!
