"The Bible isn't a book of rules..." - FAMILY PLUS Children's

This week is all about the foundation of our truth in God...it's about the Bible. We're going to be talking about "Who wrote the Bible?" and "Why they wrote it?" I want to share a simple quote that will give you the direction we're going this week. It's from the Jesus Storybook Bible by Sally Lloyd Jones.
    "No, the Bible isn’t a book of rules, or a book of heroes. The Bible is most of all a story. It’s an adventure story about a young Hero who comes from a far country to win back his lost treasure. It’s a love story about a brave Prince who leaves his palace, his throne - everything - to rescue the ones he loves. It’s like the most wonderful of fairy tales that has come true in real life!
    It takes the whole Bible to tell this story. And at the center of the story, there is a baby. Every story in the Bible whispers his name. He is like the missing piece in the puzzle - the piece that makes all the other pieces fit together, and suddenly you can see a beautiful picture."
This week we will not only talk about the Bible, but the central story of Scripture: Christ and His salvation!

The details this week are:
Scripture: Jeremiah 36
Memory Verse: If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth.” 1 John 1:8
Life Point: The Bible was inspired by the Holy Spirit to tell the story of Jesus.
