Curriculum Overview & Bible Lessons

1. Start Here “Follow Him Wherever You  Are” Luke 5:27-32
   Sometimes we believe that we are not the “right kind of person” to follow Jesus or be close to Him. But the Bible tells us that we all have the chance to START OVER and choose to follow Him in whatever state he finds us. Bible Story: Jesus calls Matthew the Tax Collector.
2. Roll Again “Jesus Gives Us Chances to Get it Right” John 21:15-17
   We are forgiven by God because of Jesus’ sacrifice. Even when we sin, Jesus’ sacrifice allows us to experience God’s grace by giving us the chance to “roll again” by being forgiven for those sins. Bible Story: Jesus restores Peter.
3. Don’t Get Stuck “God Knows We’re Not Perfect” John 4:42
   God knows that we are not perfect. His Son was the only perfect person to walk the earth. God simply wants us to accept Jesus and follow Him. Once we accept Jesus, we can START OVER and become a new creation in Christ. Even when we make mistakes, we still never lose His love. Bible Story: Jesus meets the Samaritan woman.
4. Back to Start “God is Waiting with Open Arms”  Luke 15:11-32
   Sometimes we feel like we are too sinful to be close to God. We fear that he will reject us or be mad at us for the things we’ve done. But the truth is that he is always there for us, ready and willing to accept us and give us a chance at a new beginning. Bible Story: The Parable of the Prodigal Son.
