Christian Growth Tools

My Class at NBCA

Ministry to children requires a clear connection to the Master teacher and the keys to His storehouse of resources.
Here are some tools, stories and songs that have helped my ministry over the past 20 years.

Children

Creation PowerPoint

This file takes almost 4 hours to download, but if you have a ZIP or writable CD available you can use this tremendous presentation to teach children and adults.

Verses for Teachers to Pray and Believe

Here is a hefty collection of my favorite verses for teachers. God's Words gives us many promises for the PUNCH in our lessons IF we abide in Him and IF we obey His Word. Meditate on these promises as you pray over your lesson preparation, your audience and the fruitfulness of the teaching.

Creation Verses

Here is a reference list of verses that talk about creation. Add to it any others you find in your own personal study of the Word. Send them to us and as we have time we'll add them to our database.

Evolution Vs. Creation

This document contains 10 truths that can help children defend their belief in creation against the theory of evolution.

Making Worship Come Alive - Handout

Here is a little 2 page handout with all the vital stuff from the seminar held at CEF Long Beach in March.

Here is a lesson on promises for children. They have experienced promises from others that haven't always been kept. This lesson teaches God's faithful character and ability to keep any promise He makes.

Teach children to apply the power of God's Word to their unique situations. Print them on posters, note cards and labels to get the truth "ready on their lips".

Promise Verses Labels - Small

Here's a fast way to print promises onto labels. You can use them for crafts, games and just little reminders of God's power.

Promise Verses on Signs

The same great promises, but set up to print one promise per sheet of paper. Put them in a Promise Power notebook, hand around the room or over a paper bag kids can drop prayer requests into.

Like an Olive Branch

This song was written to remind each child that God fulfills our dreams when they are "rooted" in Him. It was originally written as a school song for the Olive Branch Christian Academy, which the Lord help me start.

We are pretty good at remembering to thank the Lord for the BIG MIRACLES, but sometimes we forget to thank Him for little things... a car that starts, pudding in our lunch and so on.

Maker of the World

This song is an upbeat tune that reminds us of God's ability to create the sun, moon and stars. A God that powerful can surely be trusted with our lives!

You are unique. There is no one in all the world like you. Let's celebrate God's handiwork with a song.

Say You're Sorry

Do your kids say their sorry like they mean it? When they are casual about their apologies use this song to teach them an important lesson.

Thinking About Me

This song was written from Psalm 139 where God tells us that His thoughts about us are more than the grains of sand in the sea. It's a great song to lead into prayer with.
