From time to time, I put my classes in the hands of my students. This week, they sat in groups of three and worked through Scripture together. In the spirit of Halloween, the teens really got into the challenge of listing tricks and treats of the Bible. Enjoy their responses…

1 Samuel 14:27 Jonathan’s tip of staff in honey
Jonah 1:15-17 Fish eats Jonah
Genesis 2:20-23 God makes woman from Adams rib
