Six lives, six lessons in faith and courage
Ordinary people God used in extraordinary ways. Each lesson follows our usual eight-part structure — movement game, object lesson, discussion, craft and prayer — built around one hero's story and the character trait it points us to.
Told in the order they happened
These six stories span roughly a thousand years of the Old Testament. We’ve ordered the lessons the way they actually unfold in Bible history — from Noah's flood right through to Elijah's fire on Mount Carmel — so if you run the whole series, the timeline builds naturally week to week.
Noah
Genesis 6–9
A lesson about obeying God even when nobody else understands why — building an ark before a single drop of rain had fallen.
Moses
Exodus 2–14
From the burning bush to the Red Sea — a lesson on how God uses ordinary, reluctant people to do extraordinary things.
Joshua
Joshua 1–6
Stepping into leadership after Moses is gone — a lesson on courage, and marching around Jericho's walls in faith.
Samson
Judges 13–16
The strongest man in the Bible — and a gentle lesson on how staying close to God matters more than how strong we are.
David
1 Samuel 17
A shepherd boy, a sling, and a giant — a lesson on how something small in our hands can be mighty in God's.
Elijah
1 Kings 17–19
Fire from heaven, then a whisper on the mountain — a lesson on how God meets us even when we're worn out and ready to give up.
