Here is a fun way to introduce a Bible unit to your students. My Biblical quotations quiz, “Haven't I Heard That Before?” is a fun way to begin any Bible study. Just pass out the 3-paged quiz and instruct your students to read the quotations and circle the "Yes" if they believe it originates with the Bible or "No" if they believe it doesn't. When everyone is finished, you can use the included answer sheets to go over the quizzes and see how everyone did. When I have used this in my Bible classes, there has been much speculation and some surprises when the answers are revealed. This activity would work on the high school aged students and older.

Introduction - There have been studies conducted on the human brain that show that when someone associates a number or sequence of numbers with events, they have better recall with them than without them.

It is in consideration of these studies that a helpful tool for pastors, Bible teachers, small group or Bible study leaders is a guide of numbers that connect with events in Old Testament times, concentrating on Genesis and the life of David. I have included a chart of numbers that connect with these events, along with corresponding references in the Bible where this information is revealed. Included are 35 sets of numbers.

A word of caution: I think it’s important to remember, however, that numbers are not holy nor hold any magic or mystical qualities of any kind.

Do you find yourself battling fear? How is a Christian to be courageous in a world of chaos and destruction? This Bible study includes a background study on the word, courage; a introduction to the subject; what courage is NOT and what does having courage require?

Here is a creative way to introduce the 12 Disciples of Jesus in the New Testament.

My "Who Were the 12 Disciples?" worksheets give you an introduction quiz, asking your class to name the disciples (with answers included).

Following this quiz, you will find worksheets featuring two disciples per page and then each sheet filled out with information on each disciple. Get to know who these 12 men were that closely followed Jesus and what became of them.

This activity would be ideal on the high school level and older.  I will be adding many more of these items in the near future, so check back often.
