Teaching the Big God Story

This past Sunday we journeyed through the entire Old Testament narrative with your children. As much as we want our kids to know the individual stories of the Bible, we also want them to know that the Bible is one big story about God’s redemption of the world. During our worship service, we created a Big God Story timeline and put all the main characters on it. We then invited the kids to put themselves in God’s story by taping mini drawings of themselves to the timeline (see picture below).

As the primary spiritual nurturers of your children’s faith, we want YOU to be the one to reinforce this part of The Big God Story to them. Take some time this week to talk to your children about what their favorite part of the Big God Story is. Brainstorm some ways that God could use their unique personality traits and gifts to be participants in the story. Finally, pray that as your kids continue to hear all of The Big God Story, they’ll feel awakened to God’s power, sovereignty, and love for them.
