Unit Overview

God’s Unfolding Story is the entire biblical story told in a way that older preschoolers can understand and learn for life. It is God’s grand story of redemption and His Kingdom. At the center of that story is Jesus, God’s Son. Jesus was the long-awaited Messiah and “redemption of Jerusalem” celebrated by Simeon and Anna in Luke 2:21-39. He was the child who astounded the elders in the temple with His understanding in Luke 2:41-52. Jesus was the “Lamb of God” introduced by John the Baptist in John 1:29. He was the “Messiah, the Son of the Living God” whom Peter confessed in Matthew 16:16. It’s clear from the Bible that God sent Jesus to help us. We need a Savior, a Redeemer and a Messiah. We need help, and Jesus is our help!

This unit will introduce a year-long study of the New Testament for older preschoolers. Most units will be about Jesus and what He has done for us. Some units will be about the early church and its leaders. The final unit will be about the future. God calls us to tell His story to our children and grandchildren (Deut. 4:9). This New Testament study will help preschoolers learn about what God did for us in Jesus Christ. It also will help them see there is a place for them in God’s story now through the church, as well as teach them that God has a glorious future planned for His people!

Kingdom Perspective

Jesus is the promised Messiah and King of the Old Testament who inaugurated the Kingdom of God when He came and then died on the cross. Jesus had many titles that help us understand His great Kingdom. Whatever else we may call Him, He certainly was God’s Son!
