Bible Unlocked
Unlock Bible meaning with 7 Keys to Biblical Hebrew. This webinar spans the interpretation gap and zooms in on the original meaning of biblical Hebrew words. It also answers the “why” of biblical language, such as why a four-letter word can reveal so much more than its English equivalent. You’ll also discover why the simple phrase it was good indicates more than just an edible meal. It reveals God’s ultimate plan and purpose.
Join this webinar to learn more about a new resource from Abingdon Press that helps children see the overarching Bible story, the foundation for all other biblical studies. The Bible Story Basics program offers a unique approach to learning the biblical tale, avoiding verse-by-verse breakdowns that can often lose children’s attention. It includes a Bible story overview, engaging activities, and a resource sheet. This webinar will walk you through the content and provide tips on using this new tool in your ministry.
Bible Story Basics
The Bible is God’s grand story of love reaching out to people, beginning with creation and ending with the recreation of a new world after the destruction caused by human choice to reject God’s rule in favour of self-rule. Using the Grand Story as the framework, this webinar explores critical teachings in the Bible that are essential for understanding the larger narrative.
A special moment is created when children and adults share a Bible story—before meals, bedtime, or family devotions. This video discusses the core stories in the Old and New Testaments to help create those precious moments and build a strong faith foundation for kids.
The story of the Bible begins with God creating everything, declaring it good. Then, he creates the most special of all his creations—humans uniquely made in his image to display his character and exercise his rule as his representative. When his people choose to rebel against him, God shows his love by sending his son to rescue them from sin and death. He also gives them a new land to call their own—Israel—and a special covenant relationship with him, one that is extended to all who trust in Jesus. This story continues in the Bible with God’s unique gifts to Abraham and Moses’ descendants and his exceptional promise to Israel’s twelve tribes.
Kids’ Ministry
Children’s ministry is a huge part of the church and provides many outreach opportunities. A thriving kids’ ministry helps the entire congregation and also helps create a natural pathway into adulthood where kids can continue to grow in their faith and discipleship. A thriving kids’ ministry also enables the church to reach families that would otherwise not be connected to the church through sports outreach (like this one), day camps, and Vacation Bible School.
Children are unique and require a particular approach to reaching them. They have different needs and can’t understand abstract concepts the same way that adults can. A great resource from Lifeway is Wholly Kids, which outlines the developmental stages in kids’ lives and how to teach them God’s Word.
Foundation Worldview
Whether consciously or subconsciously, everyone has a worldview. It’s a combination of everything they believe to be true that forms their view of God, the world and humanity. A biblical worldview is based on God’s infallible Word, which influences everything they think about, say and do.
This Bible webinars for teens introduces viewers to the concept of a biblical worldview and provides practical tips for teaching children to discern between truth and falsehood. It also offers tools and resources to help parents and teachers guide students in developing a biblical worldview.
A yearly subscription to this Bible-based curriculum includes video lessons and downloadable session notes. The curriculum was designed with groups in mind since discussion and interaction are essential elements of the lesson plans. Still, homeschoolers could adapt the lessons to fit their needs with minor adjustments. The curriculum is appropriate for children between fourth grade and eighth grade. The lessons are also suitable for church classes and Sunday school settings.
