Welcome to the archived Season 1 Youth Sunday School Lessons page. The teaching philosophy behind this set of lessons is what I called the “popcorn approach.” The idea was that a student could “pop in” one week and the lesson would stand on its own without needed knowledge from previous classes.


From a teaching perspective, the popcorn method left a lot to be desired. The approach was originally implemented due to large discrepancies in weekly classroom attendance, but I eventually realized that it compromised progressive learning for the regularly attending students. Some of the ideas, movie clips, and activities in the lessons on this page have been re-purposed in other rfour.org youth Sunday school lessons (Season 1, 2, and 4) where I use a thematic approach.
