Teen Tuesday: Being a Good Friend

This week's Teen Tuesday post is about Being a Good Friend. The conversations were interesting, again! This week's lesson is a freebie and has a scripture poster that can be used with or without the lesson. These posts are written by Danielle Ringold.

Paul Escapes Damascus in a Basket

Today's' lesson has a printable with a basket, of course! It can be used any lesson that you want to discuss being a worker for Jesus

New Bulletin Board Ideas

This post contains a couple of new general bulletin board ideas. They were created by several different people and they have allowed me to share them with you. I have posted them in basically the order they were added to the church building walls. Thanks to everyone that permittedd me to use them!

Teen Tuesday: Gossip: The Unspoken Sin

Teen Tuesday is written by Danielle Ringold. She is currently teaching the high school young women on Wednesday nights. It is very interesting to listen to these discussions! Gossip is an issue that affects any age group, man or women. For this post, I created a set of Concept Charts that can be used for just about any Bible discussion.

Saul Blinded by the Light

This week's lesson begins Paul! I created a set of printables that I used on a project board, but they can be used as a mini bulletin board, etc. There is also a Heart Bubble Concept worksheet that works great for a discussion starter.

Winter Bulletin Boards By Nicole

This post is bulletin boards that my niece Nicole Whitacre has allowed me to share with you. Nicole has written a few words to tell you what she used to make the bulletin boards. Thanks so much Nicole for letting me share them!

Teen Tuesday: Grace Based Living

This week's Teen Tuesday is about Grace based Living. This was such an interesting lesson for the students, that it was carried over to another week, and could have been even longer! After sitting in this class, I feel that this lesson would also be good for a Teen Day, etc. There is so much for them to discuss and think about! The post is written by Danielle Ringold!

Cornelius & Peter's Vision

Our lesson today takes a look at Peter's Vision. We will talk about the Old Testament laws concerning clean and unclean animals. We will also learn about Peter visiting Cornelius. There are a couple of puzzles for today's printables.

Paul Pocket Chart & Word Wall

This Word Wall for Paul is part of an interactive bulletin board that I use for the Apostle Paul during our study of Acts.

Teen Tuesday: Anger

This week's Teen Tuesday was very interesting! What angers Teens? What angers adults? How do teens handle it? What does the Bible say about anger? These are some of the areas of anger that we discussed. And, as usual, there was so much to say, we didn't get to do everything that was planned! Thanks to Danielle Ringold for writing this!

The Creation For Kids: Day 7

 Welcome to the last day, Day 7, of this series! God created everything and saw that it was good in six days, then He rested on Day 7.

The Creation For Kids: Day 6

Several websites collaborated together to share ideas for The Creation found in Genesis. So glad you are here for Day 6 of this week long series! This one was the most fun day for me, since I love the animals that God created on Day 6. We also get to learn about Adam and Eve being created on Day 6.

Peter is Freed from Prison

This week we discuss Peter being set free from prison. God sent an angel, and they walked right past the guards! There is a game to play and review for the lesson. The game can be used just as a game board, or it can be used as a file folder game. It is short but should really help make the review fun for the students!

The Creation For Kids: Day 5

Several websites collaborated together to share ideas for The Creation found in Genesis. Welcome to Day 5 of this week long series! On Day 5, God created the birds and the fish.

Teen Tuesday: Grace

This week's Teen Tuesday is about God's Grace. What is it? What does grace cover? This is a great discussion lesson! The Teen Tuesday lessons are written by Danielle Ringold, and they are being taught in the Wednesday evening Teen young ladies class.

Philip & the Ethiopian Eunuch

This week we are studying the Ethiopian Eunuch. I decided to make Bible Facts Flash cards to use as review since the Eunuch was studying the Bible to learn what God wanted, and we are also told to study the Bible. There is also an updated scroll!

There is a new Scripture posters & worksheet pack!

The Top 14 Posts in 2014

I have gathered the numbers together and lined up the top posts from 2014 that were clicked on the most. Some were a surprise, and some posts didn't make the list that I thought would! Thank you for your visits, comments and your support by following through the Social Medias! I appreciate it!

Teen Tuesday: Spiritual Accountability

At the start of every New Year many people create resolutions about how they will make themselves better in the New Year. These resolutions usually have to do with health, fitness, relationships, or personal needs. However, many people overlook the most important type of resolution that could make- spiritual resolutions. How can a person improve themselves spiritually for the coming year? How can they draw themselves closer to God? This topic is written by Danielle Ringold.

Stephen

Our study is about Stephen, and we will review some of the Old Testament people that he talked about and discuss Jesus. For our IFA: Investigating Facts in Acts addition, there is a printable evidence card with directions to make an evidence bag. This can be used for any lesson! There is also a Fill-in-the-Blank STEPHEN Flap Book. The kids love these!

Teen Tuesday: Anxiety

This week's Teen Tuesday post is about Anxiety. We all have it; we all have to handle it. What are some things that make us, especially teens, anxious? How does God want us to deal with it? How does He feel about it? These are some of the applications that were discussed for this lesson. The teen posts are written by Danielle Ringold and the lessons are being used with our high school young ladies' class on Wednesday nights.

Scripture Posters

This is a short post with printable Scripture Posters!

Ananias and Sapphira

This is a great lesson for kids! The obvious application is do not lie! I have updated the lesson, application printable, added visuals and pictures to color. This also includes an introduction to the book of Acts that can be used for any lesson in Acts or review.

Teen Tuesday: Let Your Light Shine

Welcome to the second week of this 13 week series of lesson ideas created for teens! These are written by Danielle Ringold. She is teaching the teen girls on Wednesday evenings. This week she had a couple of experiments that were fun and educational.

Peter Heals Aeneas & Dorcas

We are studying Peter healing Aeneas & Dorcas. Dorcas was a well-loved woman and was known for her good deeds. The project today is accordion shirts (a worksheet has been added to the download). Depending on your time in class, you can have them prepared or let the students cut them out and attach the two parts. They can draw or write things they can do to be a helper like Dorcas. 

Teen Tuesday: Being Thankful

 For this Teen Tuesday series, we will be sharing ideas from Danielle Ringold's Wednesday night classes with the high school young ladies. Though, these lessons are suitable for young men also.  This first lesson is about being thankful and there were a couple of interesting discussions... but, I can't tell you about that without giving away the lesson plan!

The Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost

We begin our IFA: Investigating facts in Acts lessons this week with The Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. The Apostles appointed a new Apostle to replace Judas and they taught and baptized all who would listen. There is a flame headband, which is not a new concept. I think I had one as a kid! There is also a flow chart worksheet that can be used with the lesson, or afterwards for a review.

Birth of Jesus Printables

I have recently added some items to my TPT store and while doing that, I needed to update the downloads. These printables started out to just be the file folder game with new graphics, but as I worked on them, I came up with all new ideas! So, that led to a new blog post to share them here. And, I just found another new set of graphics, so I will think of more ideas! Maybe, some projects with these.

Jesus Has Breakfast & Returns to Heaven

This is the last lesson for the Life of Jesus series! There is a new Flow Chart that discusses Heaven with scriptures and Lift-the-Flap fill in the blank answers.

The Resurrection of Jesus

This week there is a set of Resurrection Task Cards with ideas on how to use them. Also, a Resurrection Mini Book in color and black & white. That is just the printables for this lesson!

My Visit to the Creation Museum

Today's post is written by Danielle Ringold. She was able to visit the Creation Museum and we are sharing thoughts and photos from the visit. I was able to visit when it just opened up and they have added a lot since my visit. We really enjoyed it! My thoughts that I have added are in (parenthesis). And, I have added a Pocket Facts Printable that can be used with or without going to the Creation Museum. It can be used to look at some Bible Facts Creation to Jesus Christ & Paul.

Jesus is Crucified

I have divided these last days of Jesus more than the last time I posted them. I plan to have a quarter (13 weeks) of the Later Life of Jesus next summer with a more in-depth study and different projects and a lapbook. This week there is a layered heart for the students to fill-in-the-blanks while discussing some of the things that Jesus did to show how much He loves us.

Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane

This week is Jesus in the garden. I hand out the Malchus mask and the kids loved it when they saw the ear was removable! While I taught the lesson, I had a plastic ear in my pocket and when I came to the Malchus part, I used my sword and cut of my right ear! Oh, they love that! You can see the ears here. There is a praying hands printable. There are a lot of different things to learn about prayer, but for this lesson, I decided to discuss what to pray for and how to pray. I used it as a conversation starter to discuss prayer and this can be used for several different lessons.

The Triumphal Entry of Jesus & The Lord's Supper

The printable for this lesson are Life of Jesus Task cards and they are cards that can be used for Life of Jesus review or... more ideas are listed! We are getting to the end of the life of Jesus, and I have divided the next several lessons more than I originally planned.

IFA: Investigating Bible Facts in Acts Supplies

There were so many great items for sale this Spring for VBS that had to do with Investigators! I started at Hobby Lobby and my head just filled with all kinds of ideas! Then, Oriental Trading had a lot, so I had even more ideas in my head! Then, Lifeway had their VBS with the Agency D3, and I found some items in their store! Since I thought Investigating Bible Facts is a great idea anyway, I decided to teach the 30 weeks of Acts with this theme. I will have bulletin boards, worksheets and different ideas for this. When I can, I will have the idea usable for any Bible lessons, not just Acts.  

Parable of the Lost Sheep & Lost Coin

This is such a fun lesson! I love watching the kids enjoy learning the Bible and they love this one! I like teaching most of the parables, but The Prodigal Son and this one seems to be favorites! There are sheep and coin printables that are scriptures that you can hide or shuffle for the kids to put in order.

Investigating Facts in Acts: Bulletin Boards & Posters

 

I made all new bulletin boards and posters to go with Investigating Facts in Acts (IFA). I realize that investigating, detectives and secret agents are not a new concept, but I did use the graphics that I could find to create new ideas and printables for the book of Acts and Life of Paul.

Parable of the Rich Fool, the Hidden Treasure & the Pearl of Great Price

This week's lesson are three parables from Jesus. These are the visuals I set up. The barn is a bird house I found at a craft store and painted. I found the grain stalks during the fall and added some Fisher Price fencing and more bales of grain. The Pearl of Great Price is a basket with larger (8 mm) pearl beads. The treasure is a wood box that I found at Hobby Lobby. I just used brown fabric  (or felt or actual dirt). I let the students have a treasure chest, added a pearl bead and a grain stalk. Then, add stickers of Jesus, the Bible, Heaven and discuss what real treasure is.

Bulletin Boards by Nicole

 

Here are photos to use for ideas for bulletin boards. These bulletin boards are photos from my niece Nicole Whitacre. Thanks for letting me post the photos! I do not have any printables for Nicole's boards, they are just for you to get ideas.

Parable of the Good Samaritan

This week's parable is the Good Samaritan. There is a foldable for the review project. The kids will love it! It is fun and easy, but you can discuss so many different neighbor things and make it work for several Bible lessons.

Wall Decorating by Nicole: Jacob & Joseph

 

Special thanks to Nicole Whitacre for permitting me to use her Jacob & Joseph wall decorating photos! As with all of Nicole's photos, there are not any printables, just the pictures to give you   ideas to decorate your classroom for teaching Bible facts. This quarter was Jacob and Joseph.

Parable of the Prodigal Son

The students that were in class for this lesson were all at VBS this year when I taught The Prodigal Son. We used this lesson more as a review. They love filling in the lapbooks and seeing the goodies that I hand out for this lesson.  

Teen Tuesday: Teen Girls Day & Time

This is the final post for the Teen Girls Day that we at our church building. As always, the Teen Tuesday is written by Danielle Ringold.

We appreciate your interest in the teen lessons.

Parable of the Sower

Preschool Alphabet: A is for Areopagus in Athens

These preschool Bible lessons are created and used at home, so there are some basic preschool learning skills printables added to each post. The Bible lesson and Bible printables are suitable for home or Bible class use. As of this post, we have covered most of the alphabet, but now little sister is learning her preschool skills! So, I am starting over with the alphabet, and adding preschool lessons that are not posted here yet, and plan to add as much from the book of Acts that I can. This week's lesson is about Paul and he teaches about the Unknown God.
