Although James would have doubted the Lord's divinity during Jesus' earthly ministry, He became a believer after Jesus' resurrection. James became a prominent leader in the Jerusalem Church and was one of the apostles Paul met when he traveled to Jerusalem (Galatians 1:18-19). Through the Book of James, we are taught many lessons and are posed with many thoughtful challenges. Over the course of this seven-day Bible study, kids will learn more about the Book of James, what it means to them, and how to apply its teachings in their lives. This Bible study is geared toward children; however, people of all ages can still partake in this Bible study. It might even be a fun bonding experience for parents to do this Bible study with their children. After each lesson, there will be challenge questions and a guided prayer.Download the PDF below to get started! Photo Credit: ©Getty Images/FatCamera Thu, 22 Aug 2024 15:35:00 -0400 2026-01-08T03:54:07-05:00 https://www.crosswalk.com/family/parenting/kids/10-bible-stories-every-kid-should-know.html https://www.crosswalk.com/family/parenting/kids/10-bible-stories-every-kid-should-know.html Bethany Verrett https://www.crosswalk.com/author/bethany-verrett/ Teaching children about their Savior and how they can have eternal life may be the most important responsibility of a Christian parent and the believers who come into the lives of children. One of the key ways to help children grow spiritually is to help them get to know the Bible.Reading the stories, extracting lessons, helping them memorize important verses, and helping them see the connections to Jesus and God’s love are part of “train[ing] up a child in the way he should go; [so] even when he is old he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6). The Bible is a big book, and it can be difficult to know where to start. Fortunately, there are many stories that are important and accessible for children.Here are 10 of the most popular Bible stories for kids.Photo credit: ©Getty Images/Tutye Wed, 01 Feb 2023 11:00:00 -0500 2026-01-08T03:54:07-05:00 https://www.crosswalk.com/faith/bible-study/great-bible-verses-for-kids.html https://www.crosswalk.com/faith/bible-study/great-bible-verses-for-kids.html Jessica Udall https://www.crosswalk.com/author/jessica-udall/ The best time to start reading the Bible with your child is when they are in the womb. The second best time is today! We have been known by God even before we were born and were created to know Him.

Kennedy https://www.crosswalk.com/author/katie-t-kennedy/ We see Jesus often being interrupted by people who need His help. He doesn't ignore them. Jesus doesn't rebuke them for coming to Him. He leaves what He is doing to help others. Jesus shows us His heart for children. He exhibits love and compassion towards them Fri, 21 Oct 2022 10:50:00 -0400 2026-01-08T03:54:07-05:00 https://www.crosswalk.com/family/parenting/kids/should-we-have-a-childlike-faith.html https://www.crosswalk.com/family/parenting/kids/should-we-have-a-childlike-faith.html Cathy Baker https://www.crosswalk.com/author/cathy-baker/ When the disciples asked Jesus who would be greatest in heaven, he told them that only someone with childlike faith could enter heaven. Just how do we get a childlike faith?

Even if we know a verse that we are teaching, it is a wonderful refresher and reminder of the Biblical truth. We are all growing together.

Finding those Scripture passages that you want to be certain are written on their hearts can begin by writing them on a piece of art, carving them into wood, painting them onto a rock, and so much more.

Children were usually the ones to ask the hard questions that would have Jesus chuckling and taking a moment to determine how to answer a profound question in childlike terminology. However, during the time that Jesus’s ministry was taking place, children were to be seen and not heard, especially when it came to matters of faith and religion.Jesus had to educate all on the importance of children, including His own disciples who blocked them from coming to be prayed over by Jesus. He told them, in Matthew 19:14, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”As we learn through this exploration of Scripture, Jesus was revealing to all present, and us in later generations, that everyone is welcome in the kingdom of heaven, no matter the age. When we accept Jesus into our hearts, He provides the bridge to reunite us again with our heavenly Father.Photo credit: ©Getty Images/Tomwang112 Fri, 03 Jun 2022 08:00:00 -0400 2026-01-08T03:54:07-05:00 https://www.crosswalk.com/family/parenting/how-can-kids-be-more-like-solomon.html https://www.crosswalk.com/family/parenting/how-can-kids-be-more-like-solomon.html Sarah Humphrey https://www.crosswalk.com/author/sarah-humphrey/ When asked by God what he wanted, Solomon could have asked for anything! He could have been selfish by asking for more money, a bigger house, or expensive food to eat, but he didn’t. He chose to ask God for wisdom. Thu, 21 Oct 2021 08:00:00 -0400 2026-01-08T03:54:07-05:00
