“The Greatest Dad” is a stand-alone Father’s Day lesson. In this lesson, children will see the failure of several Biblical dads, while focusing in on the goodness of God the Father. The main text for the week is the genealogy of Jesus from Luke 3, focusing on the final line, “the son of God,” showing how Jesus is the Son of God, not the son of Joseph. While walking through this genealogy, kids will be reminded of several fathers in the genealogy and what we know about them as fathers from the Bible.
In small groups, kids will get a chance to review what it means that Jesus is the Son of God and how all who follow Jesus can turn to God as their Father. They’ll also have a chance to thank God for their earthly fathers (who hopefully point them to God the Father) and make something they can give to their dads for Father’s Day.
This lesson is designed to be used on Father’s Day Sunday, or during the week before Father’s Day and is perfect for slotting in between other curriculum materials.

We use the confessional statement of the Gospel Coalition. We are conservative, Bible believers, who see the Gospel of Jesus Christ the unifying principle of Christians.
Small Churches Make a Big Impact
Real ministry happens through relationships. That's why God loves to work through small churches. The Kingdom of God is not about bigger buildings but about faithfulness to Jesus. “For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7b
Sunday School Teaching is a Calling from God
Teaching the Bible is a serious calling. James 3:1 says, “we who teach will be judged more strictly.” As your resource provider, we feel the same responsibility too. You can trust the words in our material when you teach your class each Sunday.
God's Love is Always Relevant for Children
Children need teachers who love them, pray for them, and call them by name. The Bible is sufficient to change hearts. The Old Testament and New Testament Bible stories are filled with the Gospel when shared by a loving teacher.
Curriculum Should Not Break Your Church Budget
We know kids ministry budgets are tight and many teachers purchase curriculum from their own personal finances. Our material is available in affordable digital download format.

What Bible translation is used in your lesson plans?
All our writers are free to use the translation of their choice. This information is also displayed on the product page. Most materials use the ESV (English Standard Version) but can be adapted to your translation of choice. For KJV churches (King James Version) we try offer word docx file format to edit the scripture translation.
What Theology, Catechism, or Christian Creed should be used in religious education at churches?
Christian education is rooted in the traditional Christian creeds, the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed. They summarize Christian doctrine, expressing the fundamental beliefs of a wide range of Christian churches.
When teaching Christianity to children, we believe the Bible is the best place to start. Jesus Christ promised the Holy Spirit would help us understand God's Word. The goal of religious education is to know Jesus Christ personally and share his love with others.
