Faith in the Face of…Anything! (Hebrews 11:1-12:3) Sunday School Lessons

by

Kids sometimes learn best by example. As we talk about definitions of “faith”, it can sometimes still seem to be a confusing term. We want to make sure our faith is in the right thing—in the trustworthiness of God alone. But how does that play out in practical daily life? There are a lot of conflicting distractions and directions that tug at their attention, especially in times of transition, like back to school time. One of the

What does God do? “The highest science, the loftiest speculation, the mightiest philosophy, which can ever engage the attention of

Lesson: The Holy Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 2:1-47)

by

The church calendar events exhibit a pattern of patience…we wait at Advent time for the coming of the Messiah. Following that, we wait throughout Lent as we reflect on the significance of that season. When Good Friday and then Easter come, we rejoice in celebration of the risen Lord. And then we marvel at the Ascension and its admonition to once again wait. For what? For how long? Jesus promised His disciples a rather vague “comforter” at

Jesus At The Temple (Luke 2:41-52) Printable Bible Story Booklet

by

It’s hard for kids (and adults) to think about Jesus as a boy. We like to think of Him in the manger as a baby, as a young toddler with the wise men, in ministry as an adult, and then dying on the cross. We forget that he grew up like we do. He went with His parents to Jerusalem for festivals, visited with friends, and talked with neighbors. In Luke 2:41-52, it talks about when Jesus
