2. BIBLE READING

When kids and teens ask you why they should read their bibles, you can use this lesson to help them understand why. It explains, in an easy-to-read and understand format, that reading their Bible will help them to know God better and His will for their life.

3. FAITH

Teach youth what faith is and what it means to have faith in God. Explaining faith is an important topic for youth because the Bible says, “without faith, it is impossible to please God” (Hebrews 11:6).

What is Faith?

What Does it Mean to Have Faith in God?

This lesson discusses these questions in an easy-to-read and understanding way.

Faith is what you believe in. As a Christian, you believe in God.
Faith is the confidence that God will do what he has promised.
Your faith will be tested. Study his Word, especially his promises, and you will gain stronger faith.
God gives us promises. Our faith believes he will keep them.

4. FAITH STEALER

Why do people lose their faith? Do you know what our biggest faith stealer is? With this powerful and effective study, kids and teens can learn how to have faith as big as David when he defeated Goliath.

Teach them what their biggest faith stealer is and how to defeat it!

5. FRIENDS

Kids and teens need friends. Do you need something that will teach how wise friends and foolish friends affect them?

Wise and Foolish Friends

Foolish friends will tempt you into doing things that you know are wrong, and Satan will be right there saying, “Your parents won’t find out, it will be fun, and everyone else is doing it.”

This is called peer pressure. You may be tempted to give in to peer pressure because you don’t want to lose a friend, but if you choose to do something wrong with a friend, you are giving into temptation and following Satan instead of God.

He that walks with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. Proverbs 13:20

Remember, Jesus didn’t separate himself from people; he was surrounded by sinners and his followers. What he did do is remove himself from sin!

6. GOSSIP

Use this helpful resource to teach kids and teens how gossip affects them and those around them. Let them learn what the Bible says about people who gossip and how to break the gossip habit with some helpful tips.

Tips To Help You Stop Gossiping

If you have a friend that gossips with you about someone else then they most likely are gossiping with others about you. You may not be able to control the fact that other people gossip, but you can control yourself.

Try not to spend a lot of time with people who gossip as it will start to have a negative effect on you.
Encourage your friends not to gossip.
Pray for the person that you hear gossip about instead of spreading it around.
Try to change the conversation to something more positive.

For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile. 1 Peter 3:10

7. PRAYER

Teach kids and teens about prayer with this lesson that uses Jesus as their example. Let him teach them just as he taught his disciples.

You will appreciate how easy it is to “plant a seed” and help teens to start applying prayer into their own lives. The whole lesson is backed up by Scripture.

8. PROVERBS

Why should we read and study the book of Proverbs?

Who was the author?

Why did he write it and for what purpose?

The answers are in this printable bible study lesson that is designed for kids and Teens. This practical study will make it easy for you to teach them how to make good choices by applying the wisdom in the book of Proverbs into their own lives.

"My daughter hurt her wrist a couple of weeks ago and having a cast in the summer is really depressing. I told her she was getting the few studies she didn’t have yet and she perked up, getting especially excited over the Proverbs. She works in our church nursery and her teacher & I both are doing the same Proverbs study. Now she has one for her age." - Kathy

9. SALVATION

Do you need a resource to help kids and teens commit their lives to Christ? Teach kids and teens how to become saved according to the bible with this easy-to-read and effective lesson.

This short Bible study on salvation will teach them about sin, how Christ can be their Savior, and how to pray for their salvation.

10. SCRIPTURE MEMORY

Sin will keep you from God’s word, and God’s word will keep you from sin! Teaching kids and teens how to memorize scripture is a sure way to help them defeat Satan’s attacks.

Here is an easy way to start memorizing Bible verses:

Choose the verse you want to memorize.
Write it down on an index card (writing improves memory).
Keep it with you and read it out loud each day until you can repeat it without looking at the card.
When you have some verses memorized, give someone the index cards and ask them to quiz you.
