Life of the First Family | Bible Study

by Ginny Richardson and Rev. Jessica Tidwell-Weinzierl

At Youth Ministry Conversations, we believe you know your group best. This means our resources look a little different than what you may have experienced in the past. We try and create a “buffet” of material so you can choose and pick what works best for your group. You will find ideas, instructions, and possibilities in this packet all related to the theme of “The Life of the First Family.” How you use them, and how you structure your study is up to you. We hope you enjoy this resource and return in the future to check out other materials.

This Study:

Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and other Abrahamic traditions see Abraham as a founding father of faith. Why? What’s so important about Abraham? Students will use this six week study to answer those questions and learn about the lives of Abraham, his wife Sarah, and his sons Ishmael and Isaac. They will also learn about what it means to live faithful lives and why we see Abraham as a father and role model for our faith.
