Bible Heroes Unit Two: 5-Lesson Sunday School Curriculum (download only)

Bible Heroes 2: Unmasking the True Hero behind 5 More Well-known Bible Characters

Kids love to learn about Bible heroes, and it's hard to find good Sunday school lessons that teach how God is the real hero in all their stories.

Too often, these character studies turn into moral lessons instead of pointing to the power and goodness of God himself. Children can miss the essential truth – all scripture points back to Jesus Christ as the true hero and savior of the world.

Bible Heroes Unit Two is a 5-week study that will help kids learn about the faithfulness of God and his promise of salvation through Jesus Christ. Each lesson includes “more than enough” material to help you adapt to every teaching situation, so no matter how much time you have, you can teach the main idea.

This curriculum will unmask God as the true hero behind these well-known characters in the Bible.

See the the Bible Heroes Part 1 for more children's ministry curriculum like this.
