Imagine going on a journey to discover a beautiful, dazzling, amazing treasure—a treasure like no other. It is a treasure so great, valuable, and exciting that it is beyond your wildest imagination. Upon reaching the treasure, you find that it gives you more joy and happiness than you could have ever dreamed possible! Is there really such a treasure? Yes, there is!
Or imagine the excitement surrounding Christmas with all the beautiful sights and sounds and special activities—including the anticipation of receiving wonderful gifts. But the greatest gift of all—the most valuable one that alone can bring you the greatest happiness—will not be found under a tree or wrapped in fancy paper. What could it possibly be?
These resources have been designed to lead children on a journey to discover 10 essential truths of the gospel, which culminate in the greatest treasure/gift of all—enjoying God Himself forevermore! Each essential truth includes a simple doctrinal statement, supporting Scriptures, a brief explanation, and a call for personal application. Additionally, each truth is accompanied by a colorful, child-friendly illustration to summarize and reinforce the truth learned.
Furthermore, rather than ending with a call to “pray and receive Jesus,” the resources intentionally conclude by encouraging children to explore the truth of God’s Word further, giving churches and Christians an opening to pursue follow-up discipleship opportunities.
Though targeted for ages 7-11, these resources are widely adaptable for home, Sunday school, Christian school, VBS, and evangelism outreach. Note that The Greatest Gift is specifically designed for use at Christmastime.
