Abounding in Hope: A Bible Study on How to Resist Hopelessness and Despair

Abounding in Hope: A Bible Study on How to Resist Hopelessness and Despair

Is your child struggling with hopelessness or depression? Then you probably know that the answer isn't just to "cheer up" and paste a smile on. Your child or teen needs to take their feelings to the Bible and see what God has to say about them.

Abounding in Hope is a study that doesn't hide the ugly truth of despair. It attacks it with the truth of God's Word, emphasizing that there is hope found in Jesus, and through Him, we can overcome despair. Our Bible study on hope:

  • Points kids and teens to scripture so they know what to do with the feelings they're experiencing
  • Teaches kids and teens to counsel their emotions with truth
  • Helps parents teach about hope from a biblical perspective

This study isn't meant to replace professional help your child may need in dealing with depression. Instead, its intention is to show how to submit our emotions and feelings to God's truth!

FAQ

There is no scripture written out in our studies, only references. When it comes to growing faith, it's crucial that kids look up passages in the Bible for themselves and our studies are written to help them do that!

We study and write using ESV, as well as a variety of translations. Special attention has been given to make sure kids can answer questions regardless of the translation they are using.

We believe that the Bible is the absolute authority in matters of faith and practice. It's 100% true, with no exceptions or figurative sections. We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of Scripture; in one God eternally existing in three Persons; in the creation of all things, including man, as the direct act of God; in eternally secure salvation by grace through faith in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ; in the incarnation and virgin birth of Christ, and in His bodily resurrection; in the personal, bodily, premillennial return of the Lord Jesus Christ and His millennial reign on earth. Read more here.

This is by far the most common question we get around here. Please check out this video. I'll show you the differences between the levels and walk you through how to use them as a family!

You'll want to purchase one copy per child at their specific age level. This will enable children to study at their level and record their own drawings and responses to the Word.

We highly encourage you to make sure that each child can participate by having their own book on their own level. You can learn more about why in this video.

Each Bible study is a slightly different length, ranging from 20 lessons to 28 lessons. We suggest doing one lesson a day. Most kids find that it takes about 15 minutes a day.
