Taught by Tom Howard in Room 101
Like Daniel and his friends, captive in Babylon, Christians live as strangers and exiles in this world. We are different. We stand out because we trust in God’s wisdom, not the wisdom of this world; we trust in God’s forgiveness, in the face of our own evil and the evil of this world; and we trust in God’s eternal kingdom rather than the passing rulers and authorities who dominate worldly politics.
In the book of Daniel, we find rich teaching and encouragement to keep seeing things God’s way in a world that is determined to go its own way.
Taught by Joe Franzone in Room 102
“The Children’s knowledge of Scripture was frightening. Most of the tots gave their days and night, in health as well as sickness, to the study of the Bible. When they were not studying, they were witness to family and friends, as well as earnestly trying to correct and win the profane and world, young and old.”
Dr. John H. Gerstner (1994) Writing on the Children of James Janeway and Cotton Matther who lived in 17th century New England.
Our children belong to God. They have been entrusted to us by Him and they have many needs. No need is as central as the need to comprehend and believe what God has said in his word the Bible.
“Teaching your Children the Bible” is designed to give parents, grand parents and caregivers a through understanding of how to teach their children the Scripture. This cannot be done in a hit or miss fashion, rather with a well plotted course by means of a fixed goal in mind. It is our hope that this class will provide for you those tools.
