Unit 3 Overview

(SCROLL DOWN TO DOWNLOADS)

Gospel means “good news.” In the Bible, the gospel is the good news that God sent His Son, Jesus to save sinners like you and me from the punishment we deserve for our sins. That salvation is ours when we turn from our sins and trust in Jesus as our own Savior. Now that is good news indeed!

In this unit we will learn four ways the gospel is such good news.

Bible Truths Included in Unit 3 Curriculum

(3 lessons available for each Bible Truth. You can choose to do 1,2 or 3 lessons.)    

What Is the Gospel? It’s Salvation through Faith in Jesus Christ…

• Bible Truth 1: God Made Us and We Should Obey Him
• Bible Truth 2: We Have All Disobeyed God and Deserve His Punishment
• Bible Truth 3: God Sent Jesus to Pay for the Sins of God’s People
• Bible Truth 4: God Saves All Who Repent of Their Sins and Trust in Jesus as Their Savior

TIPS FOR USING THIS CURRICULUM:

Here are some tips that will really help you fit our curriculum to your needs.

1. This is the Works:

This section contains FULL DOWNLOADS of curriculum, just like the hard copies available through amazon.com. Looking for just a story or a particular, single resource? Go to Deep Down Detectives Bits and Pieces.

Few other churches choose to use all of the curriculum as we use it at Capitol Hill Baptist Church, because we have created enough curriculum to stretch 3 hours each Sunday (Sunday School and Church). You may feel easily overwhelmed.

2. Take the Tour:

Look at this section from the Praise Factory Curriculum Tour to get a good sense of what is offered in this curriculum and how it is structured, were you to use it as the lesson plans suggest (structure of every class is the same… learn it, once and you’ve got it down.) Deep Down Detectives Tour

3. Follow the Stars:

Also, notice that within the lesson plan, there is a simple, basic lesson mapped out for you with stars next to these key elements. Many people using the lesson plan have found the stars just what they need.

4. Use Bits and Pieces Instead:

I would strongly encourage you to choose Bits and Pieces a la carte downloads instead of these full curriculum downloads. Bits and Pieces allows you to download just what you need. If for some reason you find you want to use most of the curriculum as ordered in our lesson plan, then these full unit downloads may be useful to you. Bits and Pieces has instructions about how to helpfully choose what you need. I would suggest looking at that first. Go to Deep Down Detectives Bits and Pieces.
