There are compelling stories in the Bible about how God relates to man. We traditionally teach our children these stories in Sunday School: Daniel in the lion’s den, David and Goliath, Joseph and his coat of many colors. But there is a disturbing phenomena arising in families across society. Children are being raised without hearing these foundational truths from God’s Word. Families are busy chasing after other activities and are leaving the Bible out of their homes.
The Psalmist stated, “Let me understand the teaching of your precepts; then I will meditate on your wonders (Psalm 119:27).” Remembering the experiences of Bible characters is a great way to think on God’s nature. These stories, written from the oral traditions, make it easy to relate them to children.
I want to compile a “top ten” list of essential Bible stories for children. Send me your favorite three or five or even ten Bible stories. We’ll make a list together to share with families. I’ll send another blog with our results.

David and Goliath for sure.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I liked the wall of Jerico falling down
The talking donkey because that's unbelievable
The feeding of the thousand with the 2 loaves and 5 fish
The crucifixtion story because there are so many components to it
The story of the birth (christmas) because of the implications
Wow...there are many!
