Falling Into Sin
When Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they did not become like God as Satan had promised. They brought sin into the world!

Jesus' Beach Breakfast
Commonly known as the reinstatement of Peter or the great catch of fish, the passage from the Gospel of John that this Arch Book® is based on shows Jesus calling Peter and the other disciples to preach in His name. Jesus fed His disciples physically that day on the beach, but He also fed them (and feeds us!) spiritually. |

Jesus Visits Mary and Martha
In the story of Jesus visiting Mary and Martha, Martha is often upheld as a symbol of what not to do. But looking closer, we can see that Martha's missteps is that she allowed worry to overpower the grace Jesus offers. Children will be encouraged to serve Jesus in all they do! |
