Gifts at the Manger

Gifts at the Manger

Christmas is full of gift-giving, but Scripture shows us gifts that are far better than anything under a tree. Gifts at the Manger is a 25-day Bible study that helps kids explore the gifts found in the Christmas story and the beauty of the gifts we receive through faith in Jesus. Along the way, they learn how to respond to God with worship, obedience, and love in their everyday lives.

Each day includes a key verse, a key biblical truth, space to reflect and apply, and a closing prayer prompt. Kids mark their progress with a matching sticker for each lesson. The format is age-appropriate, open-and-go, and designed to fit the pace of a busy season while keeping the focus on Christ.

With this study, kids will:

  • Understand the meaning behind the gifts in the Christmas story, such as Mary’s obedience, Joseph’s trust, the shepherds’ praise, and the wise men’s worship
  • Recognize the gifts God gives through Jesus, including hope, mercy, peace, and salvation
  • Connect biblical truth to daily choices through reflection, application, and prayer
  • Build a consistent habit of spending time in God’s Word
  • Learn how to respond to God’s kindness with worship, obedience, and love

FAQ

I study and write using the KJV and ESV Bibles. However, my studies are written with the intent that children and families will look up Scripture in the Bible of their choice, with specific attention taken to assure questions can be answered from a variety of translations. So you should be able to use whatever version your family prefers. It's my passion to see kids opening the Bible themselves, so we've been very intentional about this. 

I believe that the Bible is the absolute authority in matters of faith and practice. It's 100% true, with no exceptions or figurative sections. I 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.

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!

If you are buying softcover, you should purchase one copy per child. This will enable children to write in the book, as it is designed to record their drawings and responses to the Word.

If you are buying digital, you may make as many copies for your own family as needed. It is intended for single-family use only. If you plan to share with people outside of your home (like a group, co-op, church, etc.), you will need a site license to do so. Those can be found on our digital site license page.

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.
