This thread is a bit of a catch-all for posting your ideas and suggestions related to the stories of Abraham and Sara with Lot that do not fit in any of the other topics in this forum. Also share resources related to the Hebrews chapter 11 "Faithful Hall of Fame."

Why do some stories and characters NOT have many lesson ideas posted at Rotation.org? It's because of our long-standing Rotation Model and brain science-supported practice of focusing on teaching the "major" stories of the Bible to children for four or five weeks in a row. That slower pace means we have to make choices, and that means some "less than major" Bible stories don't make the cut.
What's a "major" story? Come read what many Christian educators and pastors believe are the "more" important Bible stories to spend time on.

Need help coming up with a lesson ideas for any Bible story? Ask in our Teachers Lounge!

Rotation.org is a curated archive of creative Sunday School lesson plans, ideas, and resources contributed and improved by our members, volunteers, and staff. You are invited to share what you can and glean what you need. A free registration gives you access to additional content, features, and permission to post.

Founded in 1997, we are non-profit, non-denominational, volunteer-led, and member-supported.

How Our Content is Organized
Our lesson forums are organized by Bible story and then by teaching medium such as video, art, cooking, and drama, etc. (what Rotation Modelers call "workshops"). Because the Rotation Modelers who created and lead this site teach major Bible stories for four or five weeks in a row, some minor story forums may have less content. Traditional Sunday Schools can easily adapt "Workshop Rotation" style lessons.

Theologically Speaking
Rotation.org's history, content, membership, and leadership reflect the broad theological middle and mainline tradition.
