children who live, love, and serve like Jesus!
2. We must have the RIGHT PRIORITIES . The right picture helps us establish the right priorities. What is important to you as a parent? What do you push your children to get involved in? Why? What does success look like for you as a parent? What does success look like for your child? One of the great joys of being a parent is having the opportunity to raise children who love God. This doesn't happen by accident. It is by God's grace and our own effort to establish godly priorities.
3. We must have the RIGHT PERSPECTIVE . It is still God's grace that saves our children and not our best intentions or methods. With this said, keep in mind the following:
Information : Children are often times growing up in American churches and homes less biblically literate than the previous generations. As parents, we need to be reminded of the tremendous responsibility we have to pass on the truth of God's Word.
Impression : The goal is also to leave a positive spiritual impression on the hearts of our children. Our children won't have a pleasant memory if all they remember is Mom or Dad (tired and grouchy) drilling Bible verses into their heads! Taking your child through The Dig should be a memorable experience. Best lessons are taught within the context of loving and meaningful relationships.
Imitation : Don't forget that our children listen to us and watch us. As a parent, we must be growing as a disciple of Jesus ourselves. We want to be able to say, as Paul did to the church in Corinth, "Follow me as I follow Christ" (I Corinthians 11:1).
About The Dig
Shortly, you will meet a character named Doc. Doc is an experienced Bible scholar and archaeologist who will be your Dig tour guide during each lesson. A typical Dig lesson follows the same pattern consisting of four main parts. Below is a short description of each of these four components.
1. The Map : Each lesson has a map. The map tells you and your child where you'll be going in each lesson. It is a short summary of the study ahead.
2. The Dig : The Dig is the main passage you will be studying. Following each passage will be several questions designed to help conversation and understanding. They are meant to be a guide. You can use them or tweak them to help you talk with your children.
3. The Treasure : The Treasure is the big idea of the lesson. In a short statement, it is what you want your child to remember from the passage you studied.
4. The Display : When an archaeologist finds a treasure, they will clean it up and put in on display for everyone to see. This is the basic idea of the Display. It is the application of the Treasure you have found. This is a great opportunity to discuss with your child how he or she can live out the truth of God's Word for everyone to see.
The Oasis is a chance to review what your child has learned so far. Make it your own and make it fun. A quiz and coloring activity are provided, and you can provide the prize! You'll also notice there are key verses in each section. Memorizing God's Word is a great way to hide God's Word in the heart of your child and also to reinforce what your son or daughter is learning.
Enjoy the adventure!
Introduction to Luke
Greetings!
Welcome back! Most likely you have already completed Volume 1 and are now ready for the next adventure through Volume 2. As you know, I'm Doc! I've been studying the Bible, history, and archaeology for a long time. I love to learn about God's Word and teach others, too. I am very excited you are joining me on this Bible adventure through the second part of the Gospel of Luke. Since you most likely know some things about Luke, the following is for your review.
Who is the author ?
With God's help, Luke wrote one of the books in the New Testament that we call the Gospel of Luke. Most Bible experts believe that Luke, who was a doctor and follower of Jesus, wrote this book to make sure all the facts were right about who Jesus is
