Have A Positive Impact On Kids With Fun And Interesting Bible Lessons
Copyright (c) 2011 Joe Maldonado
You can have a powerful affect on the kids in your church with the use of interesting Bible lessons. There are a lot of pressures that kids have to deal with today, especially at school. Not to mention that they have sex and violence being presented to them on a regular basis through movies, television and video games. The best time to encourage the love of Jesus is during youth, as this is the most impressionable time in our lives.
If you can manage to instill a love for Christ in your child from the start, they will be much less likely to go down the wrong path as adults. Once a child grows into a teenager, it becomes much more difficult to make an impact on their way of thinking. By teaching your kids about the Bible and what it represents, you are setting them up for a more successful and happy future.
You will have to get creative about your communication methods, especially when it comes to the younger children. When teaching Sunday school, begin the session with a good lesson. Let them know that at the end of the lesson there will be a trivia game where they will be asked to answer questions about the lesson. By offering a prize to the child who answers the most questions correctly, you will get them all more involved in the lesson. They will all want to pay close attention to what you are teaching so that they will be able to answer as many questions as possible and get the prize.
Sometimes kids are under the impression that being a good Christian means being unable to do a lot of things. For example, one of the first things that kids are usually taught about is the Ten Commandments. There are all kinds of Bible stories that they get told in which people are punished for being disobedient. Of course these stories have their place in Bible lessons, but try to include a lot of stories about the love of God as well, and show them what they have to gain by following God's plan.
There are a lot of stories from the Bible that you can use to teach kids about how much God loves them. It is important for children to understand that no one is perfect, and we all have committed sin at some point in our lives. However, by accepting Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, they can be cleansed of all of their sins and saved from an unholy path.
When it comes to the older kids, you can interest them a lot easier by using movies to portray the Message of God. Videos can have a very powerful impact on those who watch them. It is not going to work if you just stand there and talk for the entire lesson, because kids generally have a very short attention span.
As an adult, you have a chance to make a huge impact on the kids in your church, and by keeping your Bible lessons creative and fun, you will be helping the children learn about all the love that God wants to give them!
