Daniel Chapter 1 Bible Skits (Part 1 of 6)

by

My husband and I watched the movie “The Book of Daniel” on Netflix last week. It was a really good depiction of the book of Daniel. Some of the things that happened in the movie made me go back to the Bible and make sure if they were accurate. I didn’t remember them and I wasn’t sure if they were the movie makers adding in their thoughts to make the movie flow better, or if they were

Lesson: What We Love the Most (Luke 4:1-13)

by

There are many ways that we might use (and/or abuse) the term “love” in today’s culture…we say we love God, sure…but we also love our families, or our favorite sports teams, or pizza! As we prepare for Easter and begin the Lenten season, we think about how much God loves us and we love Him. This lesson reminds us how reliable He is and reminds us that truly loving something means sacrifice and steadfast determination. Lesson focus:

Jesus' Transfiguration (Luke 9:28-36) Sunday School Lesson

by

The Trinity can be a difficult concept for anyone to grasp, but it is especially tough for youngsters who tend to be quite literal-minded. The transfiguration of Jesus offers a glimpse of the Trinity, as well as a wild display of God’s glory and confirmation of who Christ is.

Satan Tempts Jesus (Luke 4:1-13) Sunday School Lesson and Activities for Kids

by

Jesus was both fully human and fully divine. When Satan tempted Him, the desire to give in was present, but He resisted temptation due to His divine nature. As the Son of God, Jesus understands what it feels like to be tempted, and we can take comfort in knowing that He can relate to our struggles. It is important for preschoolers to understand that Jesus was fully human and fully divine, and thus He did not sin.

"Just…Be" Devotion from Psalm 46:10

by

I am a runner. I shamelessly display my “26.2” bumper stickers and Road Runners club key fob, and I rarely have all ten toenails intact. Running is in some ways rather an odd passion: it requires vast discipline and sacrifice, yet yields minimal immediate visible results (minus the black toenails). In spite of that, there is such joy and satisfaction in the end that the temporary suffering is worth it. There is a pure and spectacular beauty

"Slinky Toy" Bible Object Lesson (Psalm 37:23) about Following God

by

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way. (Psalm 37:23) I am a huge fan of that verse–it has helped me so many times in life. Even when the path seemed unsure (which was often) I knew I could depend on God to lead me the right way–if (yes, there is an if) I was a good/righteous person.

Break Out of Your Teaching Rut – Go Take a Hike! (Psalm 91:11-12)

by

If you need to dig out of a rut using the same types of Sunday School lessons and formatting class identically, do something a bit differently and have fun in the process! There is a lot that can be learned from the great outdoors, and the principles of God’s creation are worthwhile even if you cannot access a trailhead or take a class field trip.

"Empty Notebook" Bible Object Lesson (Psalm 51:1-2) about a Clean Heart

by

Our modern culture pretends that sin does not exist but even a child knows that when you refuse to obey God’s commandments and the Spirit’s promptings, it stains your soul.

Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.”

Simple Truths in a Sugary Triangle… Bible Lessons from Candy Corn (Psalm 119:103)

by

  It pops up to invade stores everywhere in fall, and most people seem to either love it or hate it. Sugary, simple, and unnaturally orange, candy corn has been around for over a century.
