The approach from the Creative Bible Teaching book called the “Hook, Book, Look, Took” was the first approach I had used in teaching a passage from the Bible. The other approach from Stanley was the “Me, We, God, You, We.” Both approaches generated thought, emotional reaction and possible life-changing decisions.

Also through Jesus teaching he spoke in parable, to help us to look at information from a different perspective. This was a characteristic of his method. The kingdom of God captures both good and bad people.
Prayer is communication with God, so as Christians it is important that it is more than just formal, memorised prayers but you must speak to God, telling the Lord in our own words what we think and feel. Prayer is an essential part of Christians lives and has been since its earliest days. It is the crucial component of the Christian faith as it is the tradition of communication with God.
