Witnessing/Other Religions - Part 2

This week was part two of the witnessing to different religions lesson.  Piggy-backing on the five different religions presented last lesson (Mormonism, Atheism, Hinduism, Judiasm, and New Age), the girls learn about Jehovah's Witnesses, Agnosticism, Buddhism, Islam, and Scientology.  Furthermore, building on the witnessing concepts Sylvia shared two weeks ago, the skits presented several different tactics that can be used in reach unbelievers.

Skits can be found here:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByVlTE96psUrN1dNdVFqMFcxTEk/view?usp=sharing

Remember to: 

-ASK QUESTIONS 

-Be respectful and loving -- you can't force a convert; you can only lovingly tell them about Jesus. 

-Don't rush it

-Clarify definitions 

-Look for self-defeating arguments. For example: In Islam, the Koran teaches that Scripture cannot be corrupted. It also lists the Bible as one of the Islamic Scriptures, but since many teachings of the Bible go contrary to the Koran, many Muslims claim that the Bible has been corrupted over time. See a problem?  

-Take the time to learn about their beliefs. Otherwise, you may end up refuting something that they don't actually believe, offending them by talking at them rather than with them, or coming across as pushy and arrogant.

Other than the skits...we sang, ate snacks, and had fun in small groups.  

The memory verse for next time is 2 Timothy 3:16, with an optional "extra credit" verse of Hebrews 4:12.  See you then!
