TOPIC: WHO DESERVES GRATITUDE 3: TEACHERS
BIBLE TEXT: Galatians 6:7-10
[7]Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
[8]For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
[9]And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
[10]As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
1 Thessalonians 5:11
[11]Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

LESSON AIM: At the end of the study, teenagers should be able to understand why teachers deserve gratitude and how it should be shown.
CENTRAL TRUTH: Teachers deserve our gratitude for the knowledge and virtues they impact us with.
INTRODUCTION: Teachers are some of the most selfless, giving, caring individuals in our world. Their goals and ambitions are seeing their students succeed in life and many of us have our teachers to thank for where we are! Yet, teachers often face discouragement and feelings of defeat. Speak words of encouragement and thankfulness to them and it will make a difference in their day.
