Weekly Leader Training for Preschool & Kids: Unit 3, Session 6—God Controls Everything
In research, there is a common practice used to measure data: the pretest and posttest. The pretest is a baseline, assessing the state of something prior to experimental factors being introduced.

We marvel at stories with two characters who are total opposites of each other. This is why so many stories feature some form of a noble hero and an immoral villain. The contrast of character and conduct is what drives the tension of the story. In Genesis 14, we find two completely opposite kings: the king of Sodom and...

Weekly Leader Training for Preschool & Kids: Unit 3, Session 1—God Made a Covenant with Abraham
Think about all of the choices that we have each day. Just in the morning, we have dozens of different cereals to eat, perhaps that many varieties of milk to pour on top of the cereal, and nearly as many ways to make coffee to go with it. All of these are choices that we often take for granted....
