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.

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

Here is a fun way to introduce a Bible unit to your students on both the teen and adult levels. Just give out a copy of the two-paged quiz and have your class write their answers: person, place or thing on the blank provided.

After everyone has completed it, you can go over the answers on each item. I have included an answer key so that you can quickly look up where these persons, places or things are written about in the Bible.

Here is a creative way to teach the Life of Joseph from Genesis 37-50.

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 New International Version (NIV) of the Bible in these lessons but the worksheets can be adapted to other versions.

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

I’m sure I’ve read hundreds of warning labels through the years and had many laughs, but there is one specific label I have not seen and this is a terrible oversight. I have seen no warning labels for our words. There is no single book at the elementary school where I teach that has a warning label cautioning the students to be careful with how they use their words.

There is great power in words; they can build up or tear down. Gossip leaves a path of annihilation behind it.

This short Bible study on the subject of gossip provides what God says about it and how to avoid it.
