Why we teach in Sequence

iAM teacher's set the bar high

 Sometimes in life, the best discoveries are found by accident, and so it was with us. It happened because we took the time to honestly access if something was really working. We asked ourselves the question “Are the kids in our ministry really understanding who’s who in the Bible? Do the kids really see the big picture of the Bible and why we need a Savior?” A few years ago Anna and I discovered that all to many kids were confused with regards to the Biblical order of events. The kids didn’t know if Moses and Jesus lived at the same time, or how the Old Testament connects to the things that Jesus taught in the New Testament. So after a number of months of teaching by topics, we decided to teach in the sequence of the Bible. We had to look far and wide to find curriculum that teaches that way but after awhile we found some. As I stated earlier we, by accident, discovered that as we taught kids the Bible in the proper sequence, the kids began to put the right people in the right order. God’s order of things is not random, so as we changed how we taught, God blessed our class with clearer understanding! The moral of the story; pay attention to details, and if something isn’t working well, don’t be afraid to change it.
