![]() Then, I periodically preach on topics related to the particular week’s study. Material is distributed to the congregation. On one occasion I introduced the Bible Characters Study with a sermon on the value of studying Bible characters. “Here is how I have administered the Bible learning initiative: On the first Sunday of every year, I announce to the congregation the theme of the new year’s study. Here’s what Caleb says about how the idea is used in the local church: (I’m thinking, we may have a black cape that we wear when we’re studying a villain and a white one when we’re studying the heroes.) I just think our grandchildren will be able to conceptualize these accounts more deeply as they use the tools of story-telling, memorization and chronological placement all at once. But using all three resources together is something that I cannot wait to do at our house. You can complete the study using the book only. Assembled by Rebekah and illustrated by Julia, this tool will help your children see the “big picture” of how each person fits into the story of redemption that is the centerpiece and purpose of divine revelation. Each of the 52 Bible characters is placed on a sturdy hang-able timeline (that also lays flat on your table or desk), so that your children can easily see exactly where these heroes and villains fit into the Bible’s chronology and how their lives coincide with well-known Biblical events. These memorization cards are authored by Rebekah Colley and illustrated by Julia Tesh.įinally, it’s also a timeline. This also facilitates easily flipping though the characters at Bible time each night. ![]() The cards come on a binder ring that makes them easy for kids of all ages to carry. Caleb Colley authored the study book.īut it’s also a memorization flash card system that will allow even the youngest of Bible learners to know the accounts of these 52 characters. ![]() The book is spiral bound, sturdy, and chock-full of the Word. In a year, your children will know the stories of 52 important Bible characters and four important facts to remember about each of them. If you’re using the book at home, there’s a flexible schedule for incorporating the material into your Bible time on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. This material is sound, practical and convicting. At the end of the year your family will be able to tell the stories of major Bible heroes and villains and how to emulate the positive and eliminate the negative spiritual characteristics of each person. It’s a book!…that will carry you through 52 character studies of the Scriptures. It’s for churches and families! In fact, it’s even a great year-long homeschool curriculum for all preschool and elementary ages. ![]() But I am most excited about the knowledge and faith it can put in the hearts of the children in your little family at home.īut it’s both. I know your congregation could benefit from this year-long study. “That We May Have HOPE,” authored by Caleb and Rebekah Colley and illustrated by Julia Tesh, is a tried and true method of synchronizing your congregation’s Bible study with your own family Bible times at home. It’s finally time to roll this out! This is the most exciting thing I’ve seen in a while for congregational or family Bible study.
