Bible LessonS with Picture Study

Picture
First and chiefest is the knowledge of God, to be got at most directly through the Bible;"
Charlotte Mason, Volume 6, p.254

​
Over the past year I was given the opportunity to teach Sunday School to From 1 children, ages 6-8. Given free reign to choose a curriculum, I knew that I was going to use J. Paterson Smyth's guides without hesitation. We have been using them in our home for 2 years now, and I haven't found a children's commentary that has so much depth and insight, not only into historical background, foreshadowing, and spiritual lessons, but also one that gives the teacher (You) examples of real life application. Charlotte Mason herself recommends them in volume 1 of Home Education.
I know of no better help in the teaching of young children than we get in Canon Paterson Smyth's Bible for the Young. (...) The moral and spiritual teaching in these manuals is on broad and convincing lines. It is rather a good plan occasionally to read aloud Mr. Smyth's lesson on the subject after the Bible passage has been narrated. Children are more ready to appropriate lessons that are not directly levelled at themselves; while the teacher makes the teaching her own by the interest with which she reads, the pictures and other illustrations she shows, and her conversational remarks."
But we can go a step further to make Bible Lessons come alive for our children. When reading and teaching from the Bible, beautiful art work can peak a child's imagination and bring the story to life for them. Charlotte Mason wrote,
Picture
The study of such pictures as are here reproduced should be a valuable part of a child's education; it is no slight thing to realise how the Nativity and the visit of the Wise Men filled the imagination of the early Masters, and with what exceeding reverence and delight they dwelt upon every detail of the sacred story." volume 1, page 252
Combining Picture Study with Bible lessons will captivate your child's attention, bring beauty to each story from the Bible, and is very simple to incorporate into your daily, chief lesson.
How to Teach Bible Lessons with Picture Study

1. Read the selected Bible passage for each lesson.

2. Ask the children to narrate what they have listened to as nearly as possible in the words of the Bible.

3. OPTIONAL: If you have the commentary (available for FREE online HERE or for purchase on Amazon), pre-read the lesson, and choose selected background information to share with your children. The commentary is for YOU, the teacher, not to be read directly to the children.

4. Show the children the corresponding work of art and ask them to study the artwork quietly for a few minutes; and then, the picture being removed, ask what they have seen in it.
(It is a good idea, if possible, for each child to have their own print to look at.)

5. An alternative to have the children narrate what they have seen, is to give them a blank sheet of paper, and ask if they could draw, in pencil, as much of the artwork as they remember in 5-10 minutes.​
​
6. 
If desired, place the artwork in a place where the children can see it throughout the day, until a new​ Bible Lesson is presented.
But it is well to let the pictures tell their own tale. The children should study a subject quietly for a few minutes; and then, the picture being removed, say what they have seen in it. It will be found that they miss no little reverent or suggestive detail which the artist has thought well to include."
​Charlotte Mason, Volume 1, page 253
Inspired by her ideas and philosophy, I have created a picture study collection to bring the Bible Stories to life for your children. Although these pictures do follow along with J. Paterson Smyth's commentary, The Highlands of Galilee, you do not have to use them to enjoy this resource.

I'd love for you to check out this picture study resource in my SHOP and share how you are enjoying them in your home.

Hello everyone, I am from Wembley, Britain. I want to write this testimony to tell others and thank Dr. Odunga for what he has done for me. The first 12 years of my marriage I had 5 miscarriages and I was called all sorts of names by my mother-in-law and this made my marriage life very hectic and a burden of sorrow. I contacted Dr. Odunga for help and I will say that he is a very strong and honest man and he indeed helped me solve my problem. I saw his email in a testimony and I contacted him, little did I know it would be the end of all my problems. After 2 days of contact, I received a fertility herb and he told me to use it. The herb worked and my husband even loved me more and bought me expensive things. One afternoon, I went to a nearby hospital and came back home with the positive result of my pregnancy and after 9 months I gave birth to a baby boy. Ever since I contacted Dr. Odunga, my story has been different. I have 3 children at present and I am very happy in my marriage. Please, contact him at [email protected] OR Whats App him +2348167159012 to help you too

I promised Great Odunga to always post his testimony and I really want to say "Thank You" to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Great Odunga to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it when he told me he would give me the numbers and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream coming into reality. I had won $768.4M. Thank you Great Odunga. Well, his email is [email protected] and [email protected] You can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

Five years ago, my husband's behavior became so strange that I didn't really understand what was going on. He packed out of the house to another woman’s house and I love him so much that I
never dream of losing him, I tried my best to make sure that my husband got back to me but all to no avail, I cried and cried seeking help. I discussed it with my best friend Alison and she told me she can help me. She told me of a man called Dr. Odunga, she told me he is a very great man and a real man that can be trusted and there is nothing concerning love and Pregnancy issues he cannot solve and she told me how he has helped her and countless number of people in

restoring their relationship. I quickly contacted his email address at [email protected] I explained all my problems to him, he told me that I should not worry that all my problems will be fine.

Many people have written articles about how they were helped but I am very grateful to this great man who brought my ex-husband back to me. This testimony is a true story and my name is Jennifer Sanchez. When I came in contact with this man was also through a testimony written about him helping with a cure for Herpes Virus and I have also encountered many testimonies about how he has been helping others with their life to win the lottery. To get back with an ex is one of the most innermost feelings many people would love to experience especially as those memories with our ex always cloud our mind when someone else does some of those things our ex used to do. I was a single parent of two boys for almost 6 years and though my ex-husband was not staying with me and the kids I still wish someday he will return to me. This doctor I encountered is known as Dr. Odunga helped me with my wishes and I am happy to write on this website that my ex-husband is back with me. I am very happy to share the testimony with everyone so that they too can meet this great doctor and solve their problems. I don't know what others might feel about getting their ex back in their life but I always know there is a blessing in disguise with just a single re-connection with an ex. If you want to successfully get back with your ex or facing an infertility problem, contact this great man at [email protected] Or WhatsApp/Call +2348167159012 and share an awesome testimony too just as I did

I have faced many challenges in my life, particularly financial ones. I have experimented with various jobs / business ventures but none seemed to be successful. As the saying goes, when you exhaust your options, you look for assistance. During my search for self-improvement online, I came across someone sharing their gratitude towards Meduza, the renowned spell caster for helping them win the lottery. Initially, I had my doubts but I felt compelled to give it a shot since my life was falling apart. I contacted him and he agreed to assist me with a prosperity spell. It took almost 3 days for him to complete the spell for me and after two weeks, I found myself among the fortunate winners of $1 MILLION from the Elon Musk give away. At this moment I want to state that Meduza is the top spell caster and I would appreciate your support in expressing my gratitude to him via his email: [email protected] OR WhatsApp +1 807 907 2687.

Hi guys, my name is Sarah Flower, I ended my marriage in 2024 due to suffering from domestic abuse at the hands of my husband. Currently, he is trying to reconcile with me after finding out that I won a Jackpot Lottery Prize of $96 million. Fortunately, I received assistance online from Lord Meduza, the great spell caster who has successfully aided many individuals worldwide in winning the lottery. I reached out to him about my circumstances and expressed my desire to win the lottery. After casting the spell, he provided me with the exact numbers to play. Now, my husband wants me back, fully aware of my $96 million lottery win, but I told him no; I will not return to him. I am incredibly grateful to Lord Meduza, and if you find yourself facing a tough situation, I recommend that you reach out to him as he's the best in his field. You can contact him via

LORD MEDUZA IS THE BEST SPELL CASTER ONLINE

It's an honor to share my testimony with the world. You merit all the accolades that mention you. Lord Meduza has been a gift to me since our meeting online. He is the only one that knows everything about creating spells. I adore him immensely for his kindness, compassion, integrity, and the support he offers to everyone who interacts with him. Without Lord Meduza, I wouldn’t have survived this difficult situation. His magic turned me into a Lottery winner of £177 Million Pounds, transforming my entire life into something beautiful and extraordinary. The numbers he provided for the lottery were transformative, elevating me from grass to grace, and I want to express my eternal gratitude to him.
