Time seems to pass so quickly!\u00a0 I have posted ideas of things to help teach this Bible study to children for the first thirteen lessons so far. I hope these ideas are helpful or at least get your own ideas churning as to how to help children desire to know God\u2019s Word!<\/p>\n

The most important thing we can help children (or any student of God\u2019s Word) to understand is just how important their Bible is.\u00a0 They need to learn how to take care of them.\u00a0 They should become familiar with them. They must understand the importance of reading them!\u00a0 Even beginning readers should be encouraged to read God\u2019s Word.\u00a0 In the 6-8 year old class I taught, we read the Bible out loud every week (yes, even the young children!).\u00a0 At first, the youngest readers were very hesitant to read.\u00a0 But with a little encouragement and help, they became excited about reading their Bible.\u00a0 Each week they would become a little more proficient at reading, and that fact encouraged them greatly.\u00a0 No child is too young for us to begin to teach them to love the Word of God or to learn the principles found within God\u2019s Word!<\/p>\n

In this study, we will take 3 years to go completely through the Bible.\u00a0 We began with an overview of the 5 Old Testament Divisions (the first thirteen lessons). \u00a0The next thirteen lessons we will begin the first division of the Old Testament \u2013 The Law.\u00a0 We will continue to study each section, remembering many familiar Bible events (and learning a few new ones along the way!).\u00a0 The idea is to see the Bible in historical order, to alleviate some of the confusion.\u00a0 And at the end of each quarter, we will take out time to see Jesus in the Old Testament.\u00a0 Keep in mind that we are looking at each book as an overview.\u00a0 The idea is to encourage each person to go home and dig into God\u2019s Word and learn even more!<\/p>\n

This study was put together to make the Bible not only interesting, but applicable to everyday life.\u00a0 The Bible means nothing to us if we do not apply the principles within to our lives to become more like Christ. \u00a0In order to understand how to live a Christian life pleasing to God in the world today, we must first know what His Word says.\u00a0 I hope that you learn to love the Bible through these lessons!<\/p>\n
