"And he called to him a little child, and set him in the midst of them, and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye turn, and become as little children, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18: 2 - 3

MISC. PREACHER'S WORKS (this page has works by other preachers) MISC. AUDIO SERMONS and THE ARCHIVES
It has been my privilege in the past to sit at the feet of Brother Bob Waldron and the late Sandra Waldron as they presented their excellent class material on the entire Bible. Being the daughter of a preacher (the late Donald Townsley), I heard all of these stories growing up as a child, but when I heard the Waldron's teaching as an adult I began to put these stories in their historical context and to see the Bible as one story of the redemption of man. I was teaching children's classes at the congregation they were laboring with, and I began to work on writing Bible material to present to various ages that would go along with the Waldron's series of books. This was done for my use only as I was teaching. But, after having many people who wanted to borrow my material, and after thinking about it for a long while, I decided to make it available to any who could benefit from my humble attempts at writing material for children.

*PERSONAL NOTES: Apologies are made for some of the scanning of the material. After having 2 computer crashes, my only copy of some material is a paper copy, so I had to resort to scanning some of the material, not always resulting in a "picture perfect" copy.
Also, my material for 6th - 8th graders was written for a girls class -- although either boys or girls would benefit from said material.

* A NOTE ABOUT THE MEMORY WORK WITH MY MATERIAL: Many times in the material you will see a series of verses ( such at John 1: 1 - 5 in The Life of Christ, part one material). Most of the time, the same verse is given for two lessons, giving the student time to learn it. The verses are said together in Bible class. For example -- When John 1: 2 is learned as the memory verse the student is to say John 1:1, that he has already learned, along with it. When he learns John 1:3, he says John 1: 1 - 2 along with it. This repetitiveness helps him learn a whole series of verses and keeps him from forgetting the ones he learned previously.
*Hint: Give the child a card with the memory work printed on it with the instructions to place it in a prominent place (such as a bathroom mirror or nightstand) and then just read it once or twice every morning or night.
*Here is a trick to learn memory work that I learned from the Waldrons: Write the verse on the board. Have the class say it. Erase a line. Have the class say it again, saying from memory what you have erased. Continue saying the verse and erasing part of it until finally all the verse has been erased and the class is saying the verse from memory. Children especially like this (and it's a pretty good tool for adults as well!).
Thy word have I laid up in my heart, That I might not sin against thee. Psa. 119: 11

Visual aid maps for Invasion and Conquest of the Promised Land. If you have not been doing any map work with your students, this is a good time to start! Have your students learn where the basic locations of Palestine are: Mediterranean Sea, Dead Sea, Jordan River, and cities as they are conquered. Have them color the water blue. Even small children can learn the locations of places on maps, and enjoy learning them! Have your students trace the cities that Israel travels to and conquers. (Places on the maps are only approximate.)

I have never taught this material to anyone else; it was written for my own benefit.
