The Good Samaritan – Learning to Show Kindness

Image
  As a new school term begins, there’s no better time to remind our children about the power of  kindness . The story of  The Good Samaritan  (Luke 10:25-37) is one of the most beloved  Bible stories for children  because it teaches an important lesson: God wants us to love and help others, no matter who they are. In Jesus’ parable, a man was traveling when he was attacked by robbers and left hurt on the road. Two people - a priest and a Levite - saw him but walked away. Then came a Samaritan, someone the injured man might not have expected help from. Yet the Samaritan stopped, cared for his wounds, and made sure he was safe. Jesus told this story to show that  Christian values for children  include showing compassion, even to those who may be different from us. As kids return to school, they will meet classmates with different backgrounds, personalities, and abilities. Encourage them to be like the Good Samaritan: be the friend who helps someone ...

Helping Children Develop a Bible Study Habit

Image
  As Christian parents, teachers, and ministry leaders, one of the greatest gifts we can give children is the love for God’s Word. Teaching kids how to develop a Bible study habit doesn’t just fill their heads with knowledge — it transforms their hearts and leads them closer to Jesus. But let’s be honest: getting children to sit down and study the Bible can sometimes feel like a challenge. The good news? With the right strategies, you can make Bible study fun, engaging, and a natural part of their everyday lives. Here are 5 powerful ways to help children develop a Bible study habit: 1. Start with Short, Fun Sessions Children don’t need long study times to grow. Begin with just 5–10 minutes a day. Use colorful children’s Bibles, story-based devotionals, or even short illustrated passages. The goal is consistency, not length. 💡  Tip: Set aside the same time daily — like right after dinner or before bed — so it becomes part of their routine. 2. Use Stories and Visuals Kids conne...

 Bible Passage: 1 Kings 18:16-39 Memory Verse: “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” – Jeremiah 33:3 (NIV) The Story Begins A long time ago, the land of Israel had a wicked king named Ahab. He and his wife, Queen Jezebel, worshipped false gods and led the people away from the true God. They encouraged the people to pray to Baal, a fake god who could not see, hear, or help them. But God had a prophet named Elijah who loved Him and wanted to bring the people back to the truth. One day, Elijah boldly challenged King Ahab and the prophets of Baal to a contest on Mount Carmel. The Great Challenge Elijah stood before the people and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal is God, follow him.” – 1 Kings 18:21 Then Elijah proposed a test: • The 450 prophets of Baal would set up an altar and place a sacrifice on it, but they wouldn’t light the fire. Instead, they would pray t...
