This study was developed to teach children that the Bible is not just a bunch of random stories. The idea was to help them understand that the events in the Bible are interconnected, all with a purpose.\u00a0 When man sinned in the garden and broke the relationship between God and man, God revealed a promise to restore that relationship.\u00a0 He promised to send One, His Son, Jesus.\u00a0 Through our lessons, we learn that God kept His promise and sent His Son, Jesus to die on the cross to take away mankind\u2019s sin \u2013 for anyone who would believe.\u00a0 This allowed for the relationship to be once again restored between God and man.<\/p>\n
I taught The Biblical Path of Life<\/em><\/strong> three year program to a 6-8 year old Sunday School class two times (although I am now teaching this Bible study to an adult class).\u00a0 During this time, the children became more familiar with their Bibles.\u00a0 They would read verses aloud in class.\u00a0 Even the children who only knew a few words would read a verse with help, eventually being able to read verses on their own. We made timelines that we would refer to often, to help us see how the Bible events we were learning about related to each other. \u00a0I always tried to have some kind of coloring sheet or other type of worksheet to help them remember what was learned in class.\u00a0 Bible coloring books can be a good place to find pictures to color. The internet can be a great place to find free coloring sheets. But because this study covers Bible events not usually learned in an average Bible study, there weren\u2019t always reinforcement worksheets to help them remember.\u00a0 I developed a few to help the children remember what they had learned in class.\u00a0 In spite of my inadequacies, I will make them available in my future blogs for anyone who may want to use them.\u00a0 You may choose to use them or find better ones that can be used.<\/p>\n Because the children were learning so much, the parents wanted to learn the same lessons.\u00a0 This allowed them to prepare for the lesson ahead of class together.\u00a0 This also gave them the opportunity to discuss what they had learned in their separate classes.\u00a0 Although the learning was on very different levels, the same Bible truths were taught.<\/p>\n In the following blogs you will find a brief summary of each lesson along with some downloads to help if needed. My hope is that this Bible study, The Biblical Path of Life<\/em><\/strong>, will help people \u2013 even children \u2013 understand the Bible a little easier!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This study was developed to teach children that the Bible is not just a bunch of random stories.
