I am excited about the opportunity to participate in one of the most effective dicipleship processes I know, simply put. . . . . Sunday School! Did you say,“Sunday School?”“ “Didn’t that die out twenty years ago?” No, it is very much alive and well after all these years. I remember going to Sunday School very early on (my earliest recollection was at the age of 4 years old). I came to know Christ personally at the age of seven. My mom took us younger 3 (there were six of us altogether) to Church and Sunday School every week. I even remember receiving these pins for perfect attendance (I still have the pins). But what I remember most was that I was discipled and shepherded by some very caring and loving adults who taught me how to love God, His Word, myself, and others. I am forever grateful for those who have influenced me all these years while attending . . . yes, Sunday School.

So why “Simple Sunday School?” Well, simply stated, it ought not to be complex recognizing what a disciple of Jesus Christ looks like, acts like, talks like, in the Church and the world. There is no better place to develop followers of Jesus Christ than in Sunday School. It is my passion to know how to do just that with the Church of Jesus Christ

If you are reading this post you are either a member of Magnolia Ave Baptist Church in Riverside, CA, and you teach Adult Sunday School, or, you happened on to this blogspot; either way, welcome. Join me on this wonderful and incredible journey with other body of believers.

Just a special note to those who are Adult teachers @Mag (Magnolia Ave Baptist Church); this blogspot is dedicated to you and for you. Please join me each and every week as we, in the power of the Holy Spirit, lead people to become authentic followers of Jesus Christ!

Ever seen those commercial ads where what was pictured was something entirely different (like a hamburger) from what you actually got? Well, I certainly do not want to deliver that kind of false advertizing in this blogspot. I have a “holy discontent” that we should be able to do a better job when it comes to Sunday School than what we are currently doing. It is not about numbers because quality Bible Study, caring, nurturing, and outreach will produce the numbers. Those “numbers” represent individuals who have entered the Kingdom of God and are attempting to carry out the Great Commission. That’s where my passion lies. Having said that, what will be offered here when I open this Blog? The answer is quite simple: quality material that will help me grow in my walk with God and ministry in His Kingdom.

Besides writing articles every week, I want to provide some of the finest resources I know of on the internet to help you grow your Sunday School class and organization. You will be able to benefit from others as we post comments on various subjects. I guarentee that you will take from this blog something new or refreshing everytime.

So, please stay tuned and hang on for a new ride . . . .

This is Pastor Ron. . . good day!
