missiemick Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 We didn't buy a Bible curriculum this year (can't find one that I like) so I'm working it out on my own. I'm trying to come up with a list of scripture verses/passages for us to work through for the upcoming year. I'd like to keep it focused on the attributes of G-d as opposed to behavior modification. Anyone have favorites? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mereminerals Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Have you checked out Heart of Wisdom? They have many Bible lessons that you can download for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Jo Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 We are using Fighter Verses (myself and ds8) and Foundation Verses from the same company (younger kids, not online but inexpensive or you can ask for a list via email). Simply Charlotte Mason also has several sets of memory verses. HTH! Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petepie2 Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 We also use the Fighter Verses and Foundation Verses from Children Desiring God. However, if you want something specific to the attributes of God, you can use the memory verses that go with their ABC's of God curriculum...here's a link to the scope and sequence of the curriculum and it includes the memory verses: http://www.childrendesiringgod.org/documents/curriculum/scope/abc_expanded.pdf or the verses to their "How Majestic Is your Name" curriculum: http://www.childrendesiringgod.org/documents/curriculum/scope/name_expanded.pdf You can buy verse cards for each curriculum in the NIV for one and the NIV or ESV for the other...

Susan in TN Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) I have chosen several passages throughout the Bible that I felt gave my kids (and myself) a solid grounding in the Gospel and basic theology. (We didn't do them in this order.) OT Genesis - 1:1-2, 26-28, 3:14-16, 12:1-3 Exodus - 3:13-15, 15:1-2 Lev. - 26:3-13 Numbers - 6:22-27 Deut. - Ch 4 (10 commandments, a "shortened version), 6:4-9 Psalm 1, 24, 100, 118 Prov. 2:1-11, Isaiah - passages used in Handel's Messiah in ch. 7:14, 9:2-7 NT Matt - 5:1-30 (in sections) Luke - the Magnificat 1:46-55, 2:1-14 Romans 8:26-39 Titus 2:1-15 It seems that I'm leaving a couple out, but at any rate, these certainly took us more than 1 year - at least 2 or 3. And there's so much more that I'm looking forward to learning :). Edited August 26, 2010 by Susan in TN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 One of my favourites is The Beatitudes. Mind you as we memorise we delve a little deeper so the children are understanding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in CA Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 These are some passages that have inspired and encouraged me: Colossians 1:15-20 Ephesians 3:14-20 Philippians 2:5-11 Hebrews 12:4-13 Isaiah 43-44-8, 53 This is a very long section but I think beautifully illustrates God's passionate pursuit of his people and our repeated rejection of him, and our idolatry. But God refuses to forget his people, refuses to let us live apart from him and eventually sends his own son to die, that he might have us back. Wow!
