Bible Lesson Introduction & Overview

Faith is under attack in our world and the next generation must be prepared to stand strong in thief faith in a rapidly changing world. They will increasingly find situations where they feel unsure about expressing their Christian beliefs or stand up for others who are being treated unfairly. 

This struggle can make children feel alone or confused, and they may feel pressured to compromise their beliefs. But believers of all ages can be a force of good in a world that’s lost it’s way, but only if we have the courage to speak about God’s love and the truth of the Gospel. 

Our new curriculum, "Roar into 2024: Being Bold in Our Faith," will equip children with valuable lessons from the Bible about standing firm in faith. Through exploring the stories of Esther, Paul, Ehud, and Stephen, children will learn about boldness, courage, and the unwavering commitment to God that marks a vibrant personal relationship with Jesus.
