Week #1
Welcome:
We are glad each and every one of you are here today, and if this is your first time to coming to our youth group, we hope to get the chance to know you better after the lesson today! We are starting a new four-week lesson series on a heavily debated issue among Christendom, speaking in tongues. Before we get into the lesson, we well sing a hymn that will be our class song for the duration of this series. Grab your songbook and turn to #310, Pentecostal Power. Sing it out on the first!
Class Song:
Lord, as of old, at Pentecost,
Thou didst Thy pow’r display—
With cleansing, purifying flame,
Descend on us today.
Lord, send the old-time power, the Pentecostal power!
Thy floodgates of blessing, on us throw open wide!
Lord,

Peter and the other apostles preached in their own languages, and the Holy Spirit translated the message into the different languages and dialects of those listening
- Acts 2:6
III. The purpose of tongues (Acts 2:11)
1. The primary purpose of tongues was to preach the Gospel
- (Acts 2:14-40)
2. The secondary purpose of speaking in tongues was to be sign to unbelievers to authenticate the message being preaching
- (I Corinthians 14:22)
Conclusion:
The Bible makes it clear what speaking tongues really is. People who were filled with the Holy Ghost preached in their own tongue and the Spirit translated the sermon so that the crowds would be able to hear the Gospel. After all, the purpose of speaking in tongues was to get the Gospel out. So, we saw how the Bible declares what tongues are, next week we will look at what tongues are not.
Week #2
Welcome:
Thanks for getting up early this morning to come to Sunday School today! We have a great crowd today; be sure to greet someone new after today’s lesson. Last week we kicked off our new series studying the Tongues Movement, and I am looking forward to our second lesson today. Before we get to the lesson, we need to sing our class song though. We will sing the second verse of #310, Pentecostal Power.
Class Song:
For mighty works for Thee,
First of all, I just want to say that I am so grateful to be a disciple; I am grateful that my wife and I are a part of Gods great kingdom now. It’s been two years since my wife and I got baptized, and since then, God has done so many great things in our lives.
William Joseph Seymour was born in 1870 in Louisiana. He was the first African American preacher to induce the Pentecostal religious movement (Alexander 9). Seymour was a scholars at Novel Bible School, which was established in 1905 by Charles Parham in Texas (Espinosa 12). This was where Seymour learned and embraced major doctrines and teachings that were propagated by the Holiness Movement, the common belief of speaking in tongues (Glossolalia) (Heaton 13). According to the belief, speaking in tongues was observed as an actual confirmation and assurance of the gift of the Holy Spirit in a Christian.

Body says that these gifts were given by the Holy Spirit to carry out ministry. However there are those who believe that speaking in tongues is a private communication with God, therefore there would have to be a slightly different position on why they were given. Continuationist with this view often use First Corinthians 13:1 to support this view in speaking of tongues of men and angels, however in context his view has no solid basis. Hodge says that Paul is speaking of a language defined as a known meaning of expression weather divine or human, the main point being that these are worth nothing without love.

To begin teaching my lesson, I must first understand the differing approaches needed to present instructional learning opportunities which provide content and language objectives for the EL (ACTS 7, INTASC 1). With this understanding in place, I will be able to align the objectives to the standards and also present comprehensible input necessary for the student to understand the lesson. For comprehensible input, I will use the strategies of pre-reading passages and audios or videos which provide information allowing my students some advance knowledge of what they will be learning. During this time I will be able to search out and define the more challenging vocabulary that I deem to be important.

Same gift was given later to the thousands who assembled, “Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call." (Acts 2:38-39)
Overall, this book helped me become more aware of my weaknesses with my preaching style and also gave me tools to strengthen them. The examples are very basic and practical and helped highlight key skills and situations that a preacher can experience when doing a sermon. This book added more knowledge to me and gave me new insights that I can use as a tool when I go back with my ministry as a youth worker.
It is important for me to remember when preparing a sermon, that it is not about the preacher, but through preaching, God the Holy Spirit does the work of giving God’s
Throughout the book, the author focuses on how the Holy Spirit ministers to the apostles and the believers in their lives and the community. The Holy Spirit enabled Stephen to speak the truth boldly (6:10) until he was killed by the crowd (7:54-60). It is the calling for us to proclaim the kingdom of God in the name of Jesus with boldness and without hindrance. 4. What is the difference between a..
