Mikusanyiko ya Hadithi za Biblia kwa Wanafunzi wa Masimulizi

Mikusanyiko ishirini na moja iliyochaguliwa ya hadithi za Maandiko — chagua mkusanyiko unaofaa watu wako na mtazamo wao wa ulimwengu. Simulia hadithi, kisha acha kikundi kipate: pumua ndani kwa kusikia Neno, pumua nje kwa kulitii na kulishirikisha na wengine.

Kulinganisha hadithi na suala la mtazamo wa ulimwengu

Hadithi inaweza kusema kwa nguvu zaidi kuliko mahubiri kuhusu mtazamo wa Mungu juu ya maswala ya kitamaduni. Hadithi hizi zinazolingana na ukweli wa kibiblia na kizuizi cha kitamaduni au ulimwengu:

God's Promise to Abraham Illustrates God's relationship with man — He is not distant and unknowable
Agano la Amri Kumi Inajulisha kuwa Mungu ni Mtakatifu
Sauli wa Endori Illustrates the evil of witchcraft and consulting mediums, and God's view of these things
Abraham Anajaribiwa Inaonyesha kafara ya damu
Eliya analishwa na Kunguru Inaonyesha kuwa Mungu ndiye Mtoaji wetu
Solomon's Dream Huonyesha umuhimu wa ndoto
Kitabu cha Sheria Kinapatikana Illustrates idolatry and God's view of idols made by man
Naaman Aponywa Ukoma Inaonyesha uponyaji na nguvu za Mungu
N'gombe wa Dhahabu Illustrates idolatry and God's hatred of idolatry
Mwana Mpotevu Inaonesha msamaha
Hadithi ya Lazaro Inaonyesha nguvu ya Mungu
Paulo huko Athene Inaeleza asili ya kidini ya tamaduni fulani
Matofali bila majani Illustrates oppression and social caste — God's view of equality
Peter's Vision on Food Illustrates God's view on food taboos

Wazo la shughuli: usitoe majibu — gawanya hadithi kwa jozi na kila jozi ivumbue kizuizi, suala la kitamaduni au ukweli wa kibiblia ambao kila hadithi inahusu, na jinsi inaweza kusaidia kubadilisha mtazamo wa dunia.
