Creation: God's Weird and Wonderful World contains 14 lessons from the first eleven chapters of the book of Genesis which tell the origin of all things: the universe, galaxies, stars and planets, including Earth, life, man, marriage, language, nations, government, culture, and religion. More important, Genesis tells us about the origin of sin and evil, and God’s plan of redemption through the chosen people, Israel, and ultimately Jesus, the Messiah. Your students will learn how to defend their faith when they are confronted with the world’s false ideas about evolution.

Back to TopJudges
The Period of Judges contains 8 lessons from the book of Judges and Ruth. Your class will discover that period of the Judges was a sad period of time in the lives of the children of Israel.

Your kids will learn that it is not only important to have a good, strong, courageous leader who can show us the right way to live, but it’s equally important to be a good follower – someone that always listens and obeys the leaders, who shows love and respect by always following the rules and not going off to do their own thing. Your students will be reminded that a good leader is one that follows Jesus and encouraged to be a good leader in their families, in their neighborhoods, or at their schools. (38 pages)
