During this series, the children will begin to memorize the books of the Bible. In order
to memorize all of the books, A day before your class may start give each child copies
of the "Old and New Testament Books of the Bible" so that they can write it down ahead
of time on their notebooks.
These may help them to memorize the books of the Bible, so today, start by having the
children look in their Bibles and read the name of each book on New Testament. Then
have them memorize it during weekdays. Also encourage them to continue memorizing
the other books of the Bible.

Now that we know the Bible is the Word of God, let us look into what the Bible means to
us. Today, we will discover that the Bible is our guide, just like an owner's manual is a
guide for how to operate a car. When your family goes on a trip to a strange place, it is
important to have some kind of guide to know where to go. What would they use for
that? Right a map, A map is a guide. Or imagine walking through a dangerous part of
the African jungle. Would you not want a guide to show you the way? Of course you
would. Psalm 119:105 says "Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path." A
light on the path helps us see where to go. And Psalm 119:133 says, "Direct my
footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me." Just as we need to follow an
owner's manual to operate a car, or a map to get to our vacation spot, we need to follow
the Bible to live Godly life. A long time ago, about 600 years before Jesus was born, the
people of Judah lost God's Word. They had no guide to follow, so naturally they did
what was wrong in God's eyes. But then God's Word was found. Let's find out what
happened.
Recall the story about King Josiah on 2 Kings 22:1-20 (The Book of the Law is
Found)
God's Word is our guide in life. But it does no good if we don't know what His Word
says. That's why it is important to read and study the Bible. The people in Josiah's time
had an excuse, they didn't know where the Word of God was, so they couldn't read it.
But we have easy access to the Bible. We have no excuse for not knowing what God's
Word says.
God's Word is like a lamp, a light to guide us. The closer we are to that light, the
better we can see what is right from wrong. The closer we are to that light, the
easier it is for us to follow God, and be protected from turning towards sin.
V. ACTIVITY
Explain that the Bible uses "keys" to help us find verses. When we refer to verses, we
need to use these keys in the proper way. Write the following references on the board,
and explain each as you go.
In this activity let us explain to the how to read the key word in the Bible.
