The world is full of examples to follow. Some good and some not so much. Teach your students to pattern their lives after those who follow God by studying the great examples of faith in the Bible. Abraham followed God to a new land. Noah trusted God’s promise of rescue. Moses led the people of Israel into the desert trusting God’s faithfulness. The list could go on and on.
Faith Heroes
So, who are your heroes? The rich and famous? Those who have made a difference in the world? People with great talents and abilities? How about someone who has followed Christ faithfully and clung to his promises even in the face of difficulties. Teach your students to idolize these people. For in the end, it is only Jesus that matters.
