Overview
Basic Purpose
Students will practice finding and reading verses from the Bible.
Journey Edition
This first edition of drills will familiarize students with sections and books of the Bible.
They will gradually work through the entire Bible, learning about the purpose and focus of each section and book.
1. The Beginning and The End
2. The Law
3. History
4. Poetry
5. Major Prophets
6. Minor Prophets
7. Gospels
8. Acts
9. Paul's Letters to Churches
10. Paul's Letters to People
11. General Letters
12. Revelation
Themes and Purpose
Each drill verse reveals a letter for a hidden word in the focus scripture at the bottom of the page.
The focus scripture helps to teach the theme of that part or book of the Bible.
In addition, each drill verse is also a key verse that points to the theme or purpose
of that book of the Bible.
Ultimate Goal
My ultimate goal is for these drills to help students hide the Word of God in their hearts so the Holy Spirit can work in and through their lives.
The Holy Spirit is the teacher,
and God's Word always produces fruit.
Teacher Guide
Lesson Outline
1. Give basic instruction about what part of the Bible they will use to find the scriptures in the drill.
2. Let the students work independently or with guided practice to find the missing word for each scripture. Then, they can also fill in the blanks on the theme scripture.
3. Review the correct answers to fill in the blanks.
4. Look up each scripture together.
Use the Lesson page and surrounding Bible verses to learn more about the purpose and message of each scripture.
Discuss the theme verse and how it applies.
Note:
These lessons can be broken up and used as two shorter sessions.
For example - Complete steps 1 and 2 during one time frame, and then come back at a separate time for the application in steps 3 and 4.

INDEPENDENT PRACTICE

receiving help has needed.
Level 4
ONLY for a group of confident students when it seems appropriate

This is not appropriate for all groups
but is motivating for some.
