Today's Teen Tuesday is about Faith and is written by my daughter. This is a continuation of the Teen Girls Day we had at our church building. But these lessons are appropriate for boys and girls. This is written by Danielle Ringold.
Faith seems like one of the topics that become easier to
understand as you get older. Is the idea of faith really that difficult?
Probably not for most, however most of us do not experience faith building life events at a young
age. When I was in high school trusting God to get me an A on a test was my
perception of faith. When I got my test back and earned that A, I wiped the
sweat off my brow and was thankful.
Now that I am older, I have come to realize I may have greatly
misunderstood faith and I do not think it is uncommon for teenagers to not have
a true grasp on what it is. With that being said, I knew I wanted to teach on
faith at our Teen Girls Day.
The students will also engage in a class discussion about
different ways the Bible describes faith.
The lesson plan also includes an activity and demonstration
portion to make sure the teenagers remember what faith is.
One of my favorite Bible verses on faith is Matthew 17:20- So Jesus said to
them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith
as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’
and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.” Let’s teach our
teenagers to have this kind of faith.
Last week's lesson was about Service to God. You can see that post here.

Hello! My name is Danielle Ringold. You may
recognize the children in the picture because my mom is Debbie Jackson, the
owner of the Bible Fun for Kids website.
This looks like a great class. What a wonderful thing you are doing for teenage girls who desperately need these lessons. I wish my daughter could have gone through this series when she was younger :).
ReplyDeleteI was able to sit in the classes to take the photos, and same as you, I wish my kids could've had the classes! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI came across your blog by looking for resources on Jesus & the 12 disciples. As I read some of the posts, I am so thankful I found you! I have been looking for Bible lessons just like this. I teach 1st & 2nd grade Bible class at our church. I am so excited about the Lapbooks! I have been looking for something like this for awhile. To find something Biblically sound is wonderful. Just can't wait to use some of these ideas. Thank you, thank you, thank you from a Bible class teacher all the way in Mississippi from Strickland church of Christ! I would love to have you visit my blog www.ishouldbewashingclothes.wordpress.com Keep up the good work!

DeleteKids need to understand faith...I see too many teens who don't. Thanks for sharing with the Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteThat is so neat that your daughter wrote this lesson on faith. Very cool to be able to offer this class to the teen girls. I am passionate about ministering to teen girls too on inner beauty. Have a great day.
