Kids will begin to learn that people can trust the Bible and its message because the Bible is from God. His Word is flawless! God is our helper and always with us.\

Preschoolers will begin to understand that the Bible writers wrote words about God.  We can lead them to thank and praise God for the Bible. 

Kids will be learning about Psalm 104. This psalm describes and praises God as Creator. We can lead kids to explore what this psalm says about God, His power, His dominion over all the earth. This session is a good bridge between the last unit (about God) and this one about the Bible.

Preschoolers will begin to understand that all the stories in the Bible are true and really happened. We can lead them to know that the Bible is God’s message to people. The words of the Bible are God’s words. The Ten Commandments are the words God gave to Moses. 

Samuel obeyed God and followed God’s plan to anoint a new king. God’s choice was unexpected–the youngest son, David. God knows what is best; He sees and knows beyond what people do. David submitted to the plan God had for his life. This session we can lead kids to understand that God’s power extends to knowing all things. Help the kids know that they can rely on what God says and does.

Early in his reign as king, Saul made choices that disobeyed God. Saul’s disobedience led to God taking the kingdom from Saul’s family. This session we can lead kids to understand that people choose to follow God or choose to disobey God (sin). Help kids know that God deserves our obedience and that people are responsible for the choices they make. Each choice has consequences, and the kids are responsible for the choices they make.

The people called for a king, so God chose a king for them. God helped Samuel know who should be king. Leaders get their authority from God. This session will help kids know that, even today, God is still in control of all things and He establishes earthly authorities.  

Kids will be studying the Bible story where the Philistines captured the ark of the covenant and took it to their pagan temple. God showed His power over their idols and over the Philistines’ lives. They saw God’s power in action through His judgments and sought God to know what to do to remedy their troubles. This session will help kids to begin to understand that God is still involved in the world, and He is in control of all things.

Preschoolers will learn about Naaman. Naaman had a skin disease that no one could help or cure. He heard about God and went to Elisha for help. Naaman did what Elisha said and was healed. This session will guide preschoolers to learn that God is powerful and can do things that no one else can do. God can do anything.

Samuel heard God speak and, with help from Eli, was able to hear God’s message. God led Samuel to be a great prophet and the one who helped install the first king. God chooses people to do His work and calls them to obey Him. This session will help the kids begin to think about those who do God’s work and how God helps people know what to do.
