Sunday School teachers, the manual suggests that you "invite class members to share which of the passages in the Sermon on the Mount they feel are most needed today." Be aware that this type of directive can lead students to judge others.

Youth Sunday School teachers, would a change in seating help students in your class put themselves in the position of those who heard the Sermon on the Mount?
