What are the guidelines for new young servants to follow in preparing Sunday School lessons? Should all the servants serving the same class prepare the lesson regardless of who is presenting? Those among the old servants who recommend this approach do not carry it out themselves losing their credibility as role models for the young.

Preparing the Sunday school lesson is very beneficial for the person doing it regardless of whether they will actually present it or not. To be prepared in the class makes it more interesting for everyone; and brings more ideas to the topic during discussion. I highly recommend that each one of the servants prepare the lesson before coming to the class.

For the older servants to ask the young generation of servants to prepare the lesson while they themselves do not, is not acceptable. Older servant should know better than to be a stumbling block for the young ones who look up to them as role models. No matter how old, knowledgeable and experienced a servant is; they should not think that they are above or better than the younger ones. To live and serve the Lord is a lifetime learning process. Believe me, the more one puts his heart in preparing a lesson, no matter how simple it is or to what grade level, the more he or she will learn and benefit spiritually from this lesson; and God will bless this time and effort.
