A Chronological Study for Children of Redemptive History

The Bible is one complete true story that progressively reveals God's redemptive plan, which comes to complete fulfillment in the Person and work of Jesus Christ. In the Beginning...Jesus begins with a historical mystery—Jesus' death on the cross—and asks the questions: "What really happened here?" "Why did Jesus die?" and "Who did it?".

To find the answers to these questions, the study goes to the beginning of the Bible narrative in Genesis and then moves chronologically through the Old Testament text as students search for clues that foreshadow the coming of Jesus and His redemptive work on the cross. Special emphasis is given to showing that the Bible is God's story from beginning to end and that Jesus is the key to understanding the story.

The Bible reveals God's redemptive purposes, which find their fulfillment in the Person and work of Jesus. In the Beginning...Jesus (also available in Spanish) takes students through a chronological journey through the Bible, looking for key clues that point to Jesus and His death on the cross.

Customer Testimonials

Becky

I am the teacher. I loved the curriculum so much from our previous church, I ordered a set for our church plant. This theology is so plain and true for elementary kids! It is very adaptable to whatever the needs are. Many many thanks!

Brad

We have utilized the Truth 78 curriculum in our KidMin small groups. They have truly been a blessing to our KidMin ministry. Recently, I became aware that an update to the “In the Beginning … Jesus” curriculum had been finalized. This is great. Our teachers have loved the new format, which is easier for them to follow.
