12 lessons
Seeing God's World · Lesson 1What Is a Worldview?Daniel 1:1-21; Romans 12:2When Daniel and his friends were taken to Babylon, they were taught a whole new way of seeing the world. But they kept seeing everything God's way, and God made them wise. A worldview is the way you see everything, and God wants us to see His world through His eyes.Old TestamentWisdom
Seeing God's World · Lesson 2The Big StoryGenesis 1:1, 31; Genesis 3:1-24; Revelation 21:1-5; Romans 11:36The Bible is one true story from beginning to end. God made a good world, sin broke it, Jesus came to rescue us, and one day He will make all things new. Because we know how the story ends, we can trust God in every chapter of our lives.Old TestamentTrust
Seeing God's World · Lesson 3Is Truth Real?John 18:28-38; John 14:1-6; John 8:31-32When Jesus stood before Pilate, He said He came to tell the truth. Pilate asked, "What is truth?" but walked away without waiting for the answer, even though the Truth was standing right in front of him. Truth is real, Jesus is the Truth, and God's people love and tell the truth.New TestamentHonesty
Seeing God's World · Lesson 4Test EverythingActs 17:10-12; Genesis 2:16-17; Genesis 3:1-6; 1 Thessalonians 5:21When Paul taught in Berea, the people listened eagerly, then checked everything he said against the Scriptures every day. In the garden, Eve didn't know God's word well and listened to the serpent instead. God gives wisdom to test everything we hear by His Word.New TestamentWisdom
Seeing God's World · Lesson 5Made in God’s ImageGenesis 1:26-31; Psalm 139:1-18; James 3:9-10God made people in His own image, male and female, different from everything else He made. David praised God because he was "fearfully and wonderfully made." Every person's worth comes from God, so we thank Him for how He made us and treat every person with respect.Old TestamentThankfulness
Seeing God's World · Lesson 6Why Am I Here?Esther 4:1-17; Esther 5:1-3; Ephesians 2:8-10When an evil plan threatened God's people, Mordecai told Queen Esther, "Who knows if perhaps you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" Esther bravely went to the king, and God used her to save His people. God made each of us on purpose, for good works He prepared ahead of time, and He gives us courage to do them.Old TestamentCourage
Seeing God's World · Lesson 7Made for RelationshipsMatthew 22:34-40; Genesis 2:18-24; 1 John 4:19-21When someone asked Jesus for the greatest commandment, He gave two that belong together – love God with everything, and love your neighbor as yourself. From the beginning God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone." We were made for relationship with God and with each other.New TestamentLove
Seeing God's World · Lesson 8Real Friends in a Screen WorldDaniel 3:1-30; Daniel 2:17-18; Hebrews 10:24-25When King Nebuchadnezzar ordered everyone to bow to a giant gold statue, three friends stood together and trusted God. God was with them in the fiery furnace and brought them out without even the smell of smoke. Real friends help each other stand for God, and screens can't replace them.Old TestamentFriendship
Seeing God's World · Lesson 9God’s Design for FamilyDeuteronomy 6:4-9; Ephesians 6:1-4; Psalm 68:5-6Before Israel entered the Promised Land, Moses told parents to love God with all their hearts and to talk about His words at home all day long. Later Paul wrote to children, "Obey your parents in the Lord." God designed the family, and families grow strong when they build on His Word.Old TestamentObedience
Seeing God's World · Lesson 10Every Square InchColossians 1:15-20; Psalm 24:1; Colossians 3:17, 23From prison, Paul wrote to the church in Colossae that Jesus made all things, holds all things together and is first in everything. The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it. There's no part of life that doesn't belong to Jesus, so everything we do can be worship.New TestamentWorship
Seeing God's World · Lesson 11Salt and LightMatthew 5:13-16; Jeremiah 29:4-7Jesus told His followers, "You are the salt of the earth" and "You are the light of the world." Long before, God told His people in Babylon to seek the good of the city and pray for it. Christians don't hide from the world or blend into it. We do good and show Jesus' love so people see it and praise our Father in heaven.New TestamentKindness
Seeing God's World · Lesson 12Living It OutDaniel 6; Romans 12:1-2Daniel was an old man in Babylon when jealous leaders tricked the king into banning prayer. Daniel kept praying three times a day, just as he always had, and God shut the lions' mouths. A biblical worldview isn't just how we see. It's how we live, every day, so we're ready when the hard day comes.Old TestamentFaithfulness
