The connections found in the Old Testament continue in the God’s
Story New Testament-Junior Level from Not Consumed Ministries, teaching
upper elementary students the redemptive message of the whole narrative of the
New Testament. This study provides history, context, and purpose to hang
biblical literacy on as you study and discover God’s Word. Students now work
more independently as they discover the provision that God’s Word offers.
Students are provided with lines, blank spaces, and designated areas to record
their thoughts and reflections. The Key Verse and Key Truth are the same
throughout all levels, providing a connecting point for discussion. This
program encourages students to spend intentional time in their Bibles,
discovering and reflecting on God’s Word before coming back together as a
family to discuss and refine their reflection. The included extras are a bookmark
breaking down the different literary sections of the New Testament; 2 sheets of
study-specific stickers (a sticker for every NT book of the Bible) to apply to
your paper bookshelf as you finish studying each book; and 4 Junior Challenge
cards that are tasks catered specifically for upper elementary children. 57
pgs., paperback. ~Rebecca
The God’s Story New Testament Bible Study from
Not Consumed Ministries picks the overarching narrative back up from where the
Old Testament went silent and continues to weave the redemption story of Christ
into completion. A study like this helps students understand how they fit into
God’s plan and how God’s plan applies to them. This is not a comprehensive
study of the New Testament but a summary of each book and their connected
narrative. There is a study book appropriate for every member of your family, from
the primary level (ages 5-7) to junior (ages 8-12) to youth (ages 13+), and a
parent guide. Scripture references are provided at every level, encouraging
everyone to open their own Bibles and study the Word of God. There are 25 days
of study, and these can be completed in a way that best suits your family: once
a day or once a week. Taking a once-a-week approach would allow for a richer
study of each book of the New Testament, provided you brought in additional
resources like reference books, atlases, maps, and charts. ~Rebecca
