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.

Here is a creative way to teach the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew 5-7.

I have included lesson plans, introductory ideas, illustrations and worksheets that are both completed and left blank for the class to fill in. I have used both the King James Version (KJV) and the New Living Version (NLV) in these lessons.

This Bible unit would be ideal on the high school level and older.

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.

Can you truly be a dedicated Christian, with the faith that you will be in heaven and still be afraid of this passage from this world into the next? This study can help settle your faith and emotions.

Here is a creative way to teach the book of Jonah.

I have included teaching notes, introductory ideas, illustrations and worksheets that are both completed and left blank for the class to fill in. I have used the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible in this unit but you can adapt the worksheets to other versions. This Bible unit would be ideal for upper elementary through adults

For anyone who has been abandoned, there is hope to move beyond it.
