        Have you ever thought about what the purpose of Scripture Mastery is?  I hope we give our students a vision of the usefulness of scripture mastery and a vision of these scriptures helping themselves, and giving them the ability to bless the lives of others around them.  
        So now that we are getting closer to the end of the year, students need to get to this application level in their understanding of scripture mastery.  Scripture Masteries must become applicable to life.  In real life, students are not even given the key words before they need to share a Scripture Mastery; they only have real life situations that come up.  This handout helps them use the Old Testament Scripture Masteries and translate them into everyday situations. If student’s can’t make this transition to real life situation, then all our work with Scripture Mastery was in VAIN.
          Maybe for the rest of the year, instead of giving them key words or other clues for chasing, try only giving them real life situations like the ones on this work sheet. Not only do I use this as a class assignment, but I also use it for role-play situations.

Just a note: Funny how things are so timely! Just did the Jeremiah, Fishers and Hunters discussion this morning, and wanted to do use SM and do 'real life', right now, with their friends - missionary application for tomorrow! THANKS again - I will use many of these.

I'm embarrassed to ask, but if there an answer key you can share? Just want to make sure! :-)

No Answer sheet. But it might be better that way. Have your class say what they thing the answer is for each and if there is disagreement. Then they need to justify why they feel the way they do.

Win win.

Can you please indicate which scripture you were considering for #4? The class is a bit stumped by this one. Thanks

Genesis 1:26 "Let US make man in OUR..." That is what I was thinking.
