Bible Lesson: Who is Abraham?

It is a blessing to teach children the Bible, because their world is so small and they are learning incredible amounts of information daily.  The wonder behind the eyes of a child as the Bible is taught can challenge one to approach passages with child-like faith.  Like one is reading the story for the first time. “Who is Abraham” is a follow-up to Old Testament character bios that was started with Moses (see link for direct access).

Bible Book Cards Printable

It is also a long continued story – of how God created the world, chose a special group of people, blessed (and punished) his special people, promised to send a Savior, sent Jesus into the world, and directed Jesus’ friends to go everywhere telling about him. Most importantly, the Bible tells how every person can have a personal relationship with God. The Bible consists of 66 books, which were written

Don't Let Fear Keep You from That Mission Trip

I’ve been thinking a lot about fear lately.  I have many fears.  I fear the unknown; I fear the known, sometimes.  I fear for my son; I fear for my husband.  These are just a few, and I know that they are ultimately unfounded.  Probably the thing I fear most is change!  I struggle with that one a lot! One of the things that I used to fear that I feel God has given me the power

Take Heart – Jesus Has Overcome the World (John 16:33) Sunday School Lesson

This lesson can be utilized at any time of the year because children repeatedly need to hear that God is near.  It was created because my own children had seen visual representations of Jesus rising from the dead and had made assumptions that He was now gone.  In their young minds, when He was lifted up, He was present in Heaven, but not on this earth;  He was present with God, but not with us. This Bible lesson challenges that misconception;  encouraging children

Godly Play: A Review & Introduction

As I walked into the classroom, I noticed the simple white shelves that blended right into the walls. I was drawn like a magnet to the materials on these invisible shelves. The different hues of the natural woods, the heft of the brass, the richness of the velvet. Each material was placed on its own tray, organized and respected in their placement. As I walked the perimeter of the room, I realized that each of these were

Teaching Kids to Use Their Bibles (even before they can read)

Next to a saving relationship with Jesus Christ, the most important thing we can give the kids who pass through our children’s ministries is an understanding of how to use their Bibles.  The Bible is critical to the continued spiritual development of kids. If there was any doubt, just read these verses where the Bible describes itself. In my church, I work with Kindergarteners and First Graders every Sunday.  It’s a great age, but it does present some unique
