This children's book provides parents with an opportunity to show their children the wonderful promises of God and encourage them to look to God when they are fearful. Children often have fears of things both real and imagined. Things that go "bump" in the night, big dogs, being in a strange place and even climbing to the top of the monkey bars can produce anxiety in children. Simply telling a child "not to be afraid" is most often ineffective. So how are you guiding them to handle those fears? Children need the confidence that there is someone bigger, stronger, and wiser than themselves who will protect and care for them. But more than that, they need the assurance that someone will be there for them-to make everything right, to handle the difficulties they can't, to accomplish the tasks that are too hard for them, and to navigate the situations that are beyond their experience and ability. Often that bigger stronger, wiser person is a parent, grandparent or another adult. But parents and other adults are not supreme, all-powerful, and all-knowing. They fail children and find situations they can't navigate well. Only One Person is sufficient to handle all the complexities of the universe, and in particular, the personal world of every child. That Person is God Almighty, the Creator, and Ruler of all things. When I Am Afraid encourages young children to look to God for courage and strength as it weaves together stories about everyday fears, promises God has made us in Scripture, and truths about our all-powerful and all-knowing God.

When I am Afraid

Glorious God, Glorious Gospel has been developed as a family devotional for parents to use with their children to ground them in the essential, foundational, and glorious truths of the Gospel. These truths take into account the whole counsel of God by answering important questions, such as: -Who is God, and what is He like? -Why do I exist? How am I to act toward God? -What is my greatest problem and need? What has God done to solve this problem? -How can I be saved? -How should I now live? Too often children are given mere bits and pieces of Gospel truth apart from the wider and deeper context of these truths. To repeatedly say, "Jesus died to save us from our sins," is absolutely true, but this statement alone does not provide the amazing foundation on which this truth is built. And without that foundation, the enormous personal implications this truth demands are minimized. After completing all 15 chapters, you will have presented your children with a clear, succinct summary of the Gospel. Each chapter in the Glorious God, Glorious Gospel devotional includes six sections: -Introduction for Parents: For parents' own spiritual benefit and preparation. -Pique Their Interest: A brief hook to grab your child's attention and direct their thinking. -Instruct the Mind: Teaching material you will read to present biblical truth to your family. This section can take 5-1o minutes depending on discussion. -Engage the Heart: These conversations help your family interact with the spiritual truth, identify how it applies practically to everyday life, and aids parents in understanding how to engage children in spiritual discussions. -Influence the Will: Help your child to decide on a practical, concrete action step so he can learn to be a doer of the Word. -Family Worship Time: A hymn is recommended with each chapter for your family to study and sing.

It teaches them to actively listen to the sermon, take notes, recognize key points, and ask questions. In response to what they hear, children can determine what God wants them to think, be, or do. With God’s help, children can discover who He is, understand more of His Word, and grow in their love for the truth.

My Church Notebook: Come Into His Presence - Volume 2

The Bible is breathtaking in its breadth and depth, and yet there is an amazing simplicity to its overarching and hope-giving message, which can be explored within four basic themes: creation, fall, redemption, and restoration. From beginning to end-from Genesis to Revelation-these themes highlight the glorious work of God! The World Created, Fallen, Redeemed, and Restored has been written so that children ages 5-10 might know and embrace these life-transforming truths of the Gospel. Through the use of key Scriptures and child-friendly, compelling narrative, children will encounter the greatest realities in all the universe-and in their own lives. Children instinctively know that there is something wrong with the world. Things are not as they should be-there is fear, sadness, hatred, sickness, pain, and death. Why are things this way? What's wrong with the world? There is only one thing that makes sense of it all-God's truth as revealed in His Word. "...but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.-JOHN 20:31"

The World Created, Fallen, Redeemed, and Restored: The Gospel Plan of God

This resource has been prepared with the hope that speaking a word of blessing or benediction will become as common in the Christian home as they are at the end of many church services. As a father of two daughters and a long-time pastor of next generations ministry, David Michael is convinced that a regular pattern of blessing is a powerful way for fathers especially to plead for God's grace upon children and to give them a vision for what we hope they will become. Each blessing in the booklet is based upon a biblical text and flows from a father's heart for his daughters and a pastor's heart for the children in his church.
