Sample<\/a><\/p>\n

A yearlong course for students in grades\u00a03-6<\/strong><\/p>\n

God\u2019s Great Covenant Old Testament 1: A Bible Course for Children<\/em> teaches the biblical narrative from Genesis to Ruth, including the book of Job, at a third- to sixth-grade level. The overarching Old Testament themes of the promises and power of God are presented in simple weekly stories. Students will follow along with God\u2019s people, see how He leads them and keeps His promises, and learn how the stories of God\u2019s people begin to point us to the coming Savior, Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n

God\u2019s Great Covenant Old Testament 1<\/em> contains thirty-two weekly chapters divided into five themed units. Each chapter contains: 1) a memory page that includes a weekly memory verse, key facts chart, and vocabulary to memorize; 2) a thought-provoking \u201cWho is God?\u201d question that encourages students to consider how to relate to God in their own lives; 3) a worksheet; and 4) a quiz. Each week also contains the story of that week\u2019s Bible verses, presented at a clear, elementary reading level.<\/p>\n

Here are the themes as presented in each Unit of God’s Great Covenant, Old Testament One.<\/p>\n

Unit I: In the Beginning -God\u2019s Power.\u00a0<\/strong> God, the mighty\u00a0Elohim<\/em>, demonstrated His power by speaking creation into existence. He barred sinful man from the garden and judged the wicked world with a catastrophic flood. At the same time the power of His mercy and His redemptive plan secured man\u2019s future existence.<\/p>\n

Unit II: By the Patriarchs \u2013 God\u2019s Promises.\u00a0<\/strong>The Lord God plucked Abram out of the city of\u00a0Ur\u00a0and sent him on a journey. Through the covenant the Lord gave Abram (later called Abraham) three promises: to give him a land, to make him the father of many nations, and to bless the world through him. These promises, and God\u2019s faithfulness to keep them, form the foundation for the rest of God\u2019s story.<\/p>\n

Unit III: Out of\u00a0Egypt\u00a0\u2013 God\u2019s Redemption.\u00a0<\/strong>In God\u2019s mind, rescuing\u00a0Israel\u00a0from\u00a0Egypt was more than saving the Israelites from slavery. The Lord God was redeeming\u00a0Israel from sin and renewing the covenant He had made with Abraham. Despite their sin the Lord desired to dwell with His people and bless them.<\/p>\n

Unit IV: Through the Wilderness \u2013 God\u2019s Provision.\u00a0<\/strong>In the harshness of the Sinai wilderness the Lord God showed His people that His care for them was perfect. Even though they grumbled, complained, and refused to trust Him, God was completely trustworthy.<\/p>\n

Unit V: In the Promised Land \u2013 God\u2019s Faithfulness<\/strong>. After the glorious conquest of Canaan, Israel entered into the dark years when everyone did \u201cwhat was right in his own eyes.\u201d Even though Israel repeatedly turned from the Lord, He always heard their cries for mercy and delivered them from the oppression of their enemies.<\/p>\n
