The following material supplements the suggested lesson outline. You may want to use one or more of these ideas as part of the lesson.
Invite a few class members to come to class prepared to share ideas about how the teachings in Matthew 5 can help them at home, at school, or at work.
If you or class members have questions about Matthew 5:31–32, see the fifth additional teaching idea in lesson 14 (see page 60).
The second segment of “New Testament Customs,” a selection from New Testament Video Presentations (53914), explains the term schoolmaster, which is used in Galatians 3:24–25 to describe the law of Moses. If you show this segment, discuss how the law of Moses was a schoolmaster to bring the people to Christ.
