Youth 14-17
Lesson: Psalms
Reading: Psalms
1 Teaching Background
These notes are the result of my prep when I taught lesson 25 in youth Sunday school. I ended up teaching over 20 youth with ages ranging 12-17. My goal for the lesson was to hopeful to increase the size of their toolbox. The notes focus on how to read Hebrew poetry. This is not to suggest that I am well qualified to really do this but I do think it is important to try. I thought the class generally responded quite well to the lesson.

Gospel Doctrine
Lesson: David and Bathsheba
Reading: 2 Samuel 11-12
1 Introduction
1.1 A Note on approach
This represents the notes I made during my reading of the lesson 24. It is not a lesson outline but really notes about issues and questions that struck me as interesting during my reading.
