The B-I-B-L-E

Comments Off on The B-I-B-L-E

Getting started with our Bible Lessons for this year.

The Bible tells us what man is to know of God and what God requires of man – and a whole lot more, but this is a good overarching key. So in our studies those are 2 things we look for. Sometimes I state them expanded:

  1. Who is God?
  2. What has He done?
  3. Therefore, who is man?
  4. What is he to do?

.

This week’s Bible lesson begins at the beginning:

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”

We were looking at God’s Sovereignty. What does that mean? Is God really Sovereign? What is He Sovereign over?

Find scriptures that tell us what God is Sovereign over.

As we read the verses, the younger children drew pictures of the things we found that God is Sovereign over.

The olders assignment was to write a personal application.

  1. God is Sovereign (Ruler over all)
  2. God has made everything, and He holds it all together, and has it under His control
  3. & 4. Therefore, who am I and what should my response be?

When working with your older children on lessons, what do your little ones do?

  1. Run the house on a seek and destroy mission?
  2. Sit with you bored and fidgety?
  3. Sit in front of the one-eyed monster being mesmerized?
  4. None of the above?

If you chose #4, you are correct! What do you win? A little peace in your home. We’ve posted ideas for toddlers before, but you can also click over to Raising Olives today for a great idea!
