Lessons in Teaching Children God’s Word ~ Theo Presents God’s Desire DVD:
Fruit of the Spirit
Luther demonstrates an “act of the flesh” as he bashes his thumb in the episode opener. More bad behavior follows as he covets Belfry’s cheese, giving Theo an opportunity to teach a lesson on the Fruit of the Spirit. He begins by illustrating some “humorous” acts of the flesh that humans often engage in, then he describes each of the spiritual fruits in the Shoebox Bible Theatre––love, joy, peace, and so on. Luther and Belfry think they’ve learned the lesson, until they try to outdo each other with acts of “kindness.”
Salvation
Scratch the cat is at it again, chasing Luther and Belfry. The mice escape onto a log in the river and think they’ve escaped danger until, plunging into the water, they are pursued by an even greater danger––a monstrous fish! A nail-biting chase ensues, where it’s certain the mice are goners. In desperation they cry out for Theo to save them, which he does, and uses the occasion to teach about Salvation. In the Shoebox Bible Theatre section Theo takes us on a journey along the “Romans Road,” where we learn how to be saved.
Love Thy Neighbor
Luther and Belfry are happily enjoying their lunch when they are surprised by a food thief––a mangy river rat named R.W. Wigglesworth, Esq. The mice don’t like river rats, because they carry…fleas! Theo tells them that they should love their neighbor, even though we may not get along with them. Yes, even rats! Using Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan, he shows us who our neighbor is, and how we ought to love them as Jesus loves us. Belfry takes the lesson to heart and gives Wigglesworth some of his cheese, an act of kindness that brings two enemies together in true friendship.
I’m a really strong Christian, so I’m excited about any tool used for teaching children God’s Word. I was super excited to receive a copy of Teaching Children God’s Word ~ Theo Presents God’s Desire DVD. I just love everything about this DVD, its been such a great addition to our DVD collection. The boys were totally engrossed in it, and were asking such great questions afterwards. All the lessons are so amazing, and still relate-able to little ones. It gets great conversation going. I love the 16-page Parents Guide it comes with because it’s sometimes hard to know how to teach them about Jesus in a way they will understand. The best part, is that they have a Buy One Get One program, so for each DVD purchased they donate a free copy to a child in need. What a great way to share the gospel! Thanks, Theo Presents!
