Empowering Children Today
Children’s Ministry Curriculum – Week 1: The Bible?
The Bible? What is the bible? Why read and study the bible? Why memorize scriptures? Is it really worth my time? These are a few of the questions the students and even their family members may ask?
Empowering Children Today is an endeavor to encourage daily spiritual disciplines such as; developing a relationship with God through prayer, bible study and memorization, causing transformation and power in the lives of the children as they learn to integrate God’s Word to their everyday lives.
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it. New King James Version (NKJV)
2 Timothy 3:14-17 But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. New King James Version (NKJV)
The objective of “Empowering Children Today” is to empower the children and their families through reading and studying the Word of God, and let the Word transform their lives.
The lessons are designed to be introduced to the students and their families in the Children’s ministry, but carry over into their daily lives through “Discovered Treasure” Bible Stories, “Got Scripture?” memorization, note booking/journaling assignments, projects, and “simply prayer”. Family time is also encourage through the parent pages handed out each week.
As a Children’s Ministry leader, teacher, or volunteer; these lessons will produce a deep understanding of God’s Word and spiritual disciplines in your life. Read the stories ahead of time in your own personal study time with God. You will be amazed at what you will glean from the lessons.
