New Curriculum for Jr. High

August 12, 2009  |  By: Karen Hieb  |  Category: Children Desiring God

Abiding in Jesus Curriculum

The new 28-lesson curriculum from Children Desiring God called "Abiding in Jesus" challenges junior high students to know Jesus as the savior and satisfier of their souls. Inspired by John 15, these lessons teach youth that abiding in Jesus leads to trusting him in all of life’s situations and bearing spiritual fruit in him.

The study features interactive teaching with small group discussion, application, and prayer. There is also a special emphasis on students experiencing Christian fellowship.

The inclusion of journaling along with the teaching enables students to note important biblical truth. This will help to guide the class fellowship time and provide helpful direction for at-home Bible study and life application.

Samples from "Abiding in Jesus" and other curricula from CDG are available free online.

Children Desiring God just released its fourth Vacation Bible School/Backyard Bible Club curriculum titled Wisdom Calls Aloud. This 5-lesson curriculum is an evangelistic study on wisdom and the fear of the Lord.

Free samples from the teacher's notebook and student project booklet are available (but they're secured PDFs, so you'll need Adobe Reader to open them).

If you would like to see the people of your church store up God’s Word in their hearts, the revised Fighter Verse Church Resource Kit may be the tool you need to introduce a church-wide Scripture memory program.
