Our Mission
Children Desiring God exists to spread a passion for the
supremacy of God in all things so that the next generation may
know and cherish Jesus Christ as the only One who saves and
satisfies the desires of the heart.
We want millions in every generation to set their hope in
God. To that end, we aim to fuel spiritual desire by producing
God-centered, Bible-saturated, Christ-exalting resources, and
by equipping parents and churches working in partnership to
instruct the mind, engage the heart, and nurture the faith of the
next generation.
Our Distinctives
God-Centeredness
The most important question we can ask of Scripture is, "What does
this say about our great God?"
Depth
We want to fill students with truth that will make them steadfast,
immovable, and always abounding. Thus, the Bible must be
taught in depth with accuracy, yet in an age-appropriate and
interesting manner.
Application
Teaching falls short if it simply feeds words through students'
minds. Truth must be understood and applied. Concrete illustrations
and interaction with Scripture help students connect the known
to the unknown.
Theology
The truth that our all-powerful, all-loving Triune God sovereignly
orchestrates all things to serve His glory, and His good purpose is
central to the teaching of each curriculum.

to prepare for the lesson How did God respond to his faith? What does this show us about God? [He will provide what we need,
and application times. He is loving and good, etc.] Is it sometimes hard for you to trust God? For example, do you get scared
during a bad storm? What true things about God can you remember? How should these give you
confidence that God can always be trusted?
Trusting God
Recall what it was that God told Abraham to do.
Do you think that Abraham wanted to kill his son? If Abraham had done things his own way instead of
God’s way, what might he have done? Abraham trusted God with all his heart and he did things God’s way.
God is happy to call people who trust in Him “friends.”
Read James 2:23—…Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness—and he was
called a friend of God.
Seeing Jesus
The story of Abraham’s sacrifice of Isaac is a “picture” of another father who sacrificed His only Son.
Who was that? [God sacrificing Jesus on the cross] Why was that sacrifice better than sacrificing
an animal? [At this point in the curriculum, simply pose the question without a lengthy answer
or explanation.]

going to teach you how to plant seeds.
When I told you that I was going to “be placing organic medium into an earthen
receptacle in order to establish a botanical specimen” I was really saying, “I am
going to put dirt in a pot and plant some seeds.”
Sometimes you can explain big words by using words that are easier to understand.
If I were going to teach you how to do something, should I use big, fancy words
or small, simple words? Which words would help you learn better when you are
young? Yes, the small, simple words. Simple words can help explain what the big
words mean. And if I want you to understand really well, I could use real dirt, a
pot, and seeds to show you how to do it. Good teachers try to use words you can
understand, things you can see, and actions that you can watch to help explain
important things.
• God has many important things that He wants us to learn and understand.
• God wants us to know how great and wonderful He is.
• God wants us to know how happy He can make us.
• God wants us to know that we are sinners, and we need Him to save us.

• Jesus desired to teach and explain to people the good news about God, and
what He had come to do for sinners.
• Parables are pretend stories that tell us about true things.
• Jesus used a word picture of something everyone—even children—understood.
• He told the story of a farmer planting seeds.
• Jesus used simple words and pictures to tell the story.
(Read verses 5-8 to the children.)
• Jesus’ disciples could not understand what planting seeds had to do with
understanding God. It seemed too simple.
• Many people thought that only smart people should be able to understand true
things about God.
• Jesus is a patient teacher.
• He wants His people to understand who God is and what God is like, so He
used things we know to explain things we don’t know.
• Jesus is a good teacher. He knows how to help sinners understand difficult
things about God.
• Jesus explained His story.
