Quarter Overview

Quarter Overview BIBLE PEOPLE

This quarter’s Bible stories emphasize outstanding Bible characters who laid their lives on the line to bring about God’s purpose in the world. These stories tell of Old Testament characters—Samuel, Solomon, Daniel, and Esther. Stories from the New Testament include the apostles Peter and Paul.

Unit 1: SAMUEL and SOLOMON

This unit provides four lessons about Samuel and Solomon and their ministry in the tabernacle and temple—the Old Testament counterparts to today’s church. Two lessons focus on Samuel and his faithfulness to minister in God’s house and his willingness to listen when God spoke. Two other lessons tell of Solomon building the temple so God’s people would have a permanent place of worship.

Unit 2: DANIEL and ESTHER

Unit 2 features two Old Testament characters who stood for God in the face of danger. Daniel survived being thrown into the lions’ den for exercising his faith. Queen Esther risked her life to save both her people and herself from destruction.

Unit 3: PETER and PAUL

Five lessons on the lives of Peter and Paul will encourage your students to believe for God’s miraculous intervention in their lives. Both men escaped from the hands of those who hated their message. Both saw God’s healing power at work in their ministries.
