This is the curriculum given out to our classes at our church. This is for informational purposes only for those who wish to follow a bible study with their young children. I make NO claims on the intellectual property of this material, I did not write it. Please note, I've changed the wording of some things to direct them to parents instead of teachers.
TIMOTHY LEARNED FROM THE BIBLE:
But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, and how from infancy you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:14-17
LIFE APPLICATION:
We can read the bible.
BIBLE MEMORY PHRASE FOR YOUR PRESCHOOLER:
God gave us the bible. 2 Timothy 3:16
BIBLE STUDY:
Reading the Bible and memorizing verses can help you through difficult times, comfort you, strengthen you, and give you words to express joy. Bible intake is a key indicator of our love for God.
Timothy's father was Greek; his mother, Jewish. He was a native of Lystra, a town in Asia Minor visited by Paul on his first missionary journey. It is believed that Timothy was converted under Paul's ministry during his missionary visit. When Paul was in a Roman prison awaiting death, he sent for Timothy to come be with him (2 Timothy 4:9). Paul loved Timothy and thought of him as a son.
Read 2 Timothy 1:1-2, and ponder these questions: How did Paul describe himself? How did he describe Timothy? What did he wish for Timothy?
Paul wrote this letter from a prison cell in Rome, where he was awaiting death. Even in these circumstances, Paul thanked God for Timothy and prayed for him night and day. He remembered Timothy's sincere faith in God. He was thankful for Timothy's mother and grandmother, Eunice and Lois, who had nurtured his faith. How well do you know your children? Do you pray for them each day? Paul lovingly instructed Timothy in right living, encouraged him in his ministry, and armed him against problems that could arise. Does this remind you of your role as a parent?
In 2 Timothy 3:15, how long had Timothy known the scriptures? What is the purpose of the scriptures? We teach Bible foundations to children so that they can become Christians when Gods Holy Spirit convicts them. god breathed his message into holy men so that you and I can come to know Him and know the right way to live.
None of us ever knows the whole bible, but bible intake is an important part of our mission. gods word can help you only when you know what is in it. Guide your children to read Gods word and memorize Bible versus and Bible truths to remember in times of need.
A key aspect of LOVING GOD is loving and enjoying his words to us found in scripture. Let today's bible lesson be a reminder, even for us adults, of the importance, truth, and inerrancy of God's Word.
READ THIS TO YOUR CHILD:
A little boy named Timothy lived with his father, mother and grandmother. Timothy's mother, Eunice, and grandmother, Lois, loved God. They taught Timothy about God. Timothy's mother and grandmother taught him verses from the Bible. Timothy listened very carefully to the Bible stories that his mother and grandmother told him. Timothy learned to love God.
When Timothy was older, a man named Paul came to his town. Paul was a missionary. He traveled from town to town, telling people that God loved them. Paul wanted Timothy to help him. So Timothy became Paul's helper. Together Paul and Timothy traveled to many towns, telling people about Jesus.
One day after Timothy had stopped traveling with Paul, he got a letter from Paul. Paul reminded Timothy how his mother and grandmother had a taught him important verses and stories from the Bible. Paul told Timothy to always remember what he had learned. Paul reminded Timothy that what he learned from the bible would help him.
PARENTS:
-Read the bible verse to your child; recall a time when your child has used what he has learned from the Bible.
-Sing to the tune "If You're Happy": "God's words in the Bible help me learn, God's words in the Bible help me learn, Help me learn what to do, Help me learn what to do, God's words in the Bible help me learn."
