How to teach preschoolers about salvation

Posted on by

Ninety percent (90%) of a child’s personality is formed before the age of 5 years old. When ministering to preschool children you are establishing their foundation, in which their spiritual life will stand and be supported. You have an incredible opportunity to influence the character and development of the kids you are teaching. Don’t lose a minute. […]

Should We Talk To Kids About Hell?

Posted on by

How important is it that we preach the gospel to kids? “And they were bringing children to Him so that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked them.  But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, “Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs […]

Can kids reach other for Christ?

Posted on by

I don’t want to just teach on evangelism: I want the kids in my class to be practicing evangelism. Many of our kids are great video-game evangelists. When they play a game that they like, they tell a friend. They use their influence to get their friends to purchase the game. My point is that […]

Posted on by

Human love can be selfish. It is normal for us to put ourselves first and to think about our own needs. This is why we need God’s love. God’s love or agape love is a supernatural love. It is not normal and does not act or react normally. When someone is mean to us by […]

What You Believe, Is What You Get

Posted on by

You Get What You Believe In 1 Samuel chapter three, we read the story of how God spoke to the child, Samuel. The boy Samuel ministered before the Lord under Eli. In those days the word of the Lord was rare; there were not many visions. 2 One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely see, was lying down […]

Learning To Listen

Posted on by

It is important to teach our children how to listen to their conscience and obey God in the small things. I Timothy 4:1-2, “Now the spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils: Speaking lies in hypocrisy: having the conscience […]

No Way! That’s Too Deep!

Posted on by

Have you ever told the Lord – No? I had been teaching children for about two years on things like salvation, baptism in the Holy Spirit and healing.  One morning, I asked the Lord what I should teach on next.  His response shocked me. I heard a still, small voice say, “Teach them about the gifts of the Holy Spirit.” I thought, “No, […]

Training Volunteers in the 21st Century

Posted on by

People are busier than ever. I used to train my volunteers at monthly meetings on Sunday night, but it’s hard to get people to show up for extra meetings. I had to figure out how to train my volunteers in small doses. Now, I do all of my training in four bite-size nuggets. 1. The Ten-Minute […]
