Weekly Leader Training for Preschool & Kids: Unit 1, Session 1—God Created the World
The Bible begins where we would expect it to: with the beginning of all of creation. But the beginning that Genesis 1:1 speaks of is not the beginning of everything. It was not the beginning of God. God is eternal—He has no beginning and no end. He has always existed. So the beginning in this session’s Bible story is...

"All Things New": Weekly Leader Training—Unit 36, Session 4: The Redeemer Returns
The final judgment described in Revelation 19 demonstrates the holy love of God. Many today resist the idea of God as judge, but when they do so, they are left with a one-dimensional God—a sappy, sanitized deity whom they can easily manage.

“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,...

"All Things New": Weekly Leader Training—Unit 36, Session 2: The Redeemer Calls His People Toward Renewal
The letters to the seven churches are filled with insight into what constitutes a faithful Christian congregation. In the first four, we see several important emphases. In the letter to Ephesus, we’re reminded of the need for a passionate, right relationship with God from which good works flow (and without which good works are dead). The letter to Smyrna...
