Yesterday we looked in detail at the 7 C’s of History and how it’s this history that is foundational to a biblical worldview, the gospel message, and in fact everything. It’s also the history that explains our biology, geology, anthropology, paleontology, cosmology, and more. Today I want to show you why it’s vital we teach this history by giving you a few practical examples of how to incorporate it into conversations with your kids.
So, the 7 C’s of History (go back and read yesterday’s blog post to refresh yourself on what those 7 C’s are) are an easy way for children to remember biblical history and to understand how to use the history God has given us to interpret the world around us. Let me give you some examples.
See how powerful an understanding of this foundational history can be? It really is a wonderful teaching tool (and one we’re excited to help schools, churches, and homeschools teach children with our upcoming Mrs. C & Me: Journey Through the 7 C’s of History, K–2nd grade curriculum).
I’ve been teaching these C’s for years—and families have been learning them as they tour our Creation Museum—and I’m excited to announce that these 7 C’s are related to the big announcement our Answers VBS team recently made about our 2024 Vacation Bible School (VBS) theme.
Our 2024 Answers VBS is The Great Jungle Journey: An Epic Cruise from Genesis to Revelation. Yes, this epic jungle cruise will be teaching kids this foundational history (the 7 C’s), helping them properly interpret the world around us and understand the gospel message.
The Great Jungle Journey will equip children with answers to many of the skeptical questions of today like:
Children will discover how the events given in those early chapters of Genesis (Creation–Confusion) shape our world, how the Bible connects with everyday life, and how the gospel is the good news every person needs.
As they discover the 7 C’s of History while on a jungle cruise amid sloths, butterflies, river dolphins, and dart frogs, children will discover how the events given in those early chapters of Genesis (Creation–Confusion) shape our world, how the Bible connects with everyday life, and how the gospel is the good news every person needs.
Actually, the first 4 C’s give children the foundation to begin to truly understand the saving gospel message.
The Great Jungle Journey is now available for preorder, and if you use code VBS24B, you’ll save 25% now through January 10, 2024. I encourage you to host this exciting and very relevant VBS at your church next summer.
