Does teaching responsibility and good work habits seem impossible?
We all want to have responsible kids, but sometimes it can be easier to do it ourselves than to fight the battles. But easy can come at a cost. When we don't help our kids see the value of hard work, we aren't equipping them for the life God has for them!
One day they will move out, and unless The Jetsons send Rosie over, our kids will need to learn to cook and clean. Not to mention they will need good work habits in order to provide for their families and fulfill God's calling in their lives.
In this Bible study, Work Unto the Lord, we will learn where the idea of work comes from, how God has uniquely designed us for the work He has given us, and how we can develop good work habits.
Work is NOT a dirty word (despite what others will tell you). In fact, work is a gift from God! Are you ready to learn how you can see it that way too? While we still have kids in our homes, we need to take advantage of the time we have to teach them the work ethics they will use for many years to come!
Nothing will be mailed to you as this is a digital product.
(The Bible study fun pack does NOT come with the digital file.) You can print off the file and staple it together. We like to use fun duct tape to secure the staples and keep them from poking.
Our Bible studies are available in 3 age levels that work together perfectly for family study. Each lesson has a consistent key truth, key Scripture, and central theme no matter what age level your kids are working in.
Primary Level (ages 4-7)
Junior Level (ages 8-12)
Parent Guide
Our parent guide is the perfect addition to help you easily facilitate family Bible study. Each day, you will progress through the same main ideas and key passages your kids will be studying.
Plus, we've added parent tips along the way to help you lead discussion as a family.
Having the whole family thinking on the same key truths of Scripture will create a more natural environment to talk about the Lord. We know you'll love it!
What version of the Bible do you use?
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.
What do you believe?
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.
What age level should I buy?
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!
How many copies should I buy?
If you are buying digital, you only need one copy of each age level you will be using. 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 each product's page.
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. Please check out this video for more explanation on why this is so important!
How long are your studies?
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.
Studies with 20 lessons:
Obey
Do Right
Fruit of the Tongue
My Brother's Keeper
Navigating Friendships
Foundations of Faith
A Content Heart
Studies with 25 lessons:
Keep Thy Heart
Studies with 28 lessons:
Developing a Quiet Time
We have only done the first couple of days and it is already a great study and the kids have been putting more effort into this chores and school work. It has also greatly helped and encourage myself as to why we choose to homeschool and that even though some days may feel long and be energy draining, we do this work for the Lord and not for ourselves! Thank you for a great study!
I love what this teaches and how it really shows how our work should be for the Lord. I also love the digital version because I am able to easily and quickly print off a copy for any of my children… which makes it so much more friendly to our budget with having four children. Thanks for offering this option.
This is one of our recent Bible studies that we worked through and what an eye-opener it was for me and my kids! I would recommend it to every family that wants their kids to really understand the "why" behind doing chores and that work is actually a blessing from the Lord. Thanks Kim for this study!
Beautifully written...my boys love these devotions
We have LOVED all of the studies we've gotten from Not Consumed! The Primary version has been excellent for our K-1st grader. We both love the drawing prompts since he's not yet writing much. The length of time it takes to do a lesson is long enough to learn something but short enough to keep the attention of a young kiddo. Love these.
We're in the middle of this study right now and even I (Mom) am learning and thinking of work different (and better) than before. We're about halfway though and I'm seeing a difference in my kids' outlook as well!
