“All Things New”: Preschool & Kids Leader Training for Unit 36, Session 4—Jesus Will Return
This may be the shortest post I will share with you, but I believe its brevity in no way compromises its power and helpfulness. As we wrap up our journey through the story of the Bible this time around, this is the big idea we want our kids to latch onto: Jesus has won. Not Jesus will win. He...

“All Things New”: Preschool & Kids Leader Training for Unit 36, Session 3—Before the Throne
Revelation 4–5 is full of perplexing imagery, as is much of the rest of the book. One seated on a throne with the appearance of jasper and carnelian stone. Do I even know what jasper and carnelian stones are? A rainbow with the appearance of an emerald. Green, right? Twenty-four elders. Who are they? Thunder, lightning, and torches. OK,...

I enjoy a good argument. Not one that is saturated in anger, mind you, but a nice, friendly, impassioned debate. Is synchronized swimming a sport? (no)Is a hotdog a sandwich? (no)Are all the Star Wars movies enjoyable? (yes)Should people use gift as a verb? (no) There’s just something about going back and forth with someone that can be invigorating....

“All Things New”: Preschool & Kids Leader Training for Unit 35, Session 4—Children of God
Reading parts of 1 John can be confusing—if we don’t understand the letter’s context. As we read, we might wonder if we are saved—if anyone is saved—because John seems to say that if we sin (and we all do), then Christ is not in us. But that is not what he was saying. John was writing to the early...
