This is a big, big story. And a story this big deserves much more than a greeting card version of its telling. The almighty Creator of the cosmos humbled Himself to rescue a people desperate for salvation from a mess of their own making. We want kids to understand the full impact.

In this four-part series, kids will hear a thought-provoking account of the events, in context. They will see who was waiting for the Savior and how it was announced to the most humble. Kids will realize that God graciously invites people who believe in Him to be part of His plan–no matter how young, no matter what we have to offer. And finally, kids will grasp that each person must decide for himself who he believes Jesus is.

Small group discussions are where lives are changed! Our insightful questions lead the way for kids to discover how this timeless story breaks into the here-and-now to impact their lives. We include fun, hands-on components for tactile learners. Every lesson is laid out in a simple format so your leaders are set up for success.

We also provide a 5-day family devotional for each lesson, so families can dig deeper into these familiar stories, and find new nuggets of truth together. Print them to hand out or email each one to your families.
