Bible

Sometimes with Bible class I have to be creative. When the kids were younger it was about trying to hold their attention so I had to make it kind of fun!  Lapbooks were the answer for us.  

Once we did a lapbook on the seven days of Creation. Another one was the armor of God.  Lapbooks were a great way to take a huge subject and make it bite sized so the kids could really glean something from God's Word.

Now that they are older, I prayed a lot about what God would have me to teach and the answer was discipleship! This struck me soon after I finished a discipleship class and realized I should be actively teaching to my kids' hearts! (I learned that lesson the hard way but nevertheless, I'm learning:) )

Lessons like why we need to be saved, what is sin, how to keep a prayer journal, how to pray and have devotions were some of the things I want to have become second nature to them. Like it's not even up for debate this is what needs to be done to stay close to Jesus. After all Jesus said go and make disciples right? So who better to disciple than our own children?!

There are many resources out there so it was difficult to choose.  For Noah I found a student devotional very similar to the one I did in my discipleship class.  We will also go through the Just Friends,
study, Lessons from Legends and character studies. For Lily we're also doing character studies, Studying God's Word series and Beautiful Girlhood study.  

My goal is to raise godly adults and my prayer is that through discipleship, God will bless our efforts in bible class and for many years to come.  Looking for fruit, and fruit that remains, amen!!
