You. Sharing Jesus. April, 2018 Dear WBS Coordinator/Study Helper, As always, thank you so much for your partnership in the Gospel with World Bible School! Your last Coordinator s Corner from Bill Colwell noted this topic. Last fall, we completed a large updating of our Master Series lessons. As a result, there were a few updates to the Grading Keys. We are providing the enclosed, current Grading Keys for your use. Remember that you can: a) make copies of these; b) download a printable file from worldbibleschool.net/resources; or c) request more with your next lesson order. (Don t worry: future printings of lessons won t require further changes to the Grading Keys!) God continues to do so much through this ministry and the work of you and others who share your zeal to share the Good News of Jesus!

With these grading keys we also present some helpful notes about handling student responses. We pray your ministry to the lost is eternally fruitful. 1 After you have your student names, mail The Way to Life to each of them. See Section 2 of the Postal Program Guide for detailed instructions. Download it at worldbibleschool.net/resources 2 Now be patient and prayerful! It takes time for lessons to get to the students. Postal systems in some countries have problems, so correspondence may be slow. It may even get lost. Some students may need time to delve into their studies. If you do not hear from one of your students within two or three months, write them a letter and ask if they received the lesson. Let them know you care and that you want to encourage them. 3 Continue on a weekly basis to send The Way to new students. (Remember the parable of the seed and soil.) This will eventually build the pipeline of students who will actually continue to study. 4 Responsive students who have the means will return their answers to you. Grade only the Choice Questions, using the appropriate grading key. Congratulate good efforts. Comment on Choice Questions answered incorrectly. Learn about your student from his answers to the Discussion Questions but don t grade them and don t feel you must correct every misconception. Be positive and encourage the student s further openness. Try to answer the student s questions. Keep your answers simple and use Bible references. If the student asks too many questions, try to answer the most important ones. If questions are too difficult, get help from fellow church members. 5 Note the religion of the student. If they are Muslim, send them The Prophets of God instead of God Has Spoken, then Jesus the Messiah instead of Knowing Jesus. Note the age of the student the student. If they are 12 or under, send them Becoming Friends, the first of the three children s courses, then the other children s courses thereafter. 6 On Return Page 4 the student gives you personal contact and background information. Keep this as it will prove important later for follow up. Section 2 of the Postal Program Guide tells you more about keeping such records. 7 Keep praying! The Lord cares the most about your students. rev. 2/19/2018
GOD HAS SPOKEN Many believe in God, but in this course Scripture shapes the student s world-view. Like Paul s teaching, this course aims at faith and repentance (Acts 17:22-31; 20:21; 26:20). Hebrews 6:1 calls faith in God and repentance part of the foundation on which we must build. The student can prepare to be more serious in seeking God s way. THIS IS GOOD NEWS As the invitation of the Master Series, this course seks heartfelt obedience to the Gospel. It calls for response appropriate to each student s readiness. Motivation is at 3 levels: 1) Seekers will seriously investigate the credentials of the Gospel. 2) Believers will overcome objections and obey. 3) Obedient believers will share the Gospel with others. 1.

KNOWING JESUS Many millions have never heard the name of Jesus. Millions of others claim to be Christians, but hold a variety of non-biblical views. Many of them have little Bible knowledge even though the message of original Christianity was Jesus the real Jesus. Scripture builds accurate knowledge of, and firm faith in, Jesus as our Lord and Savior. The goal of this course is to build that abiding relationship, which Scripture calls knowing Jesus. 1. Malachi 3:1 Lesson 1 Luke 1:76 Matt 3:1-2 Matt 3:11 Luke 3:21-22 John 1:34-39 Lesson 2 Luke 7:34 John 18:20-21 Mark 3:14 John 17:20-21 Acts 1:21-22 1 Acts 4:20 1 John 1:40-45 Lesson 3 1 Gen 22:18 1 Matt 1:1 1 Isaiah 53:10-12 1 Luke 24:25-44 1 John 5:39, 46 1 Acts 17:2-3 20.

Early evangelists added persuasion to their delivery of Gospel facts. In the same spirit, this course reasons from the Scriptures, explains and persuades (Acts 2:40; 17:2-4; 18:4). It approaches the subject of salvation through Jesus discussion with Nicodemus. Jesus clearly require the second birth. It results in the responsive student s new life. 1.

THE FAMILY OF GOD Two kinds of students reach this study. (1) Responsive students that have become Christians. This course aims at: strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith (Acts 14:22). Converts must learn to identify and be part of the church and grow as they to join the disciples (Acts 9:26). (2) Those who have not yet been converted. This course overcomes common barriers that keep well-taught students from making a commitment. RETURN PAGES 2-3 1. Lesson 1 1. Lesson 2 1. Lesson 3 ~Lesson 3 1 1 1. Lesson 4 1 1 1.

Both share the same goal: strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith (Acts 14:22). This builds on that foundation by challenging the Christian to live a life worthy of God s call (Eph. 4:1). Non-Christians learn to count the cost of real love with Jesus aid. RETURN PAGES 2-3 1.
