Description
The Greatest Treasure! Series Overview
The Bible lessons in this series are written with the same goal as that which motivated Luke the physician to pen more words of Scripture than any other New Testament writer. In his own words, “It seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, . . . that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught.” (Luke 1:3-4) Luke’s desire was for his audience to know for certain the absolute truth about Jesus. As you prepare to teach each lesson in this series, ask God to guide and help you so that the children you teach may come to know, believe, and love Jesus for who he really is. He is truly the greatest treasure and every lesson in this series is prayerfully designed to guide children to him.
