Reliable and True! Bible Crafts from Mark 13:1-8

Print Friendly and PDF

In a world of confusion and mixed messages, what can we rely on? The focus of this lesson is how we trust the Word of God and the truth of who Jesus was. We place our hope in Him and believe the words of the Bible. The two crafts here involve valuing people and valuing Scripture. A special picture frame is set up to commemorate important people. A “Bible study chart” assists in reading God’s Word by suggesting various daily genres and passage types to explore.

Bible Verses or Craft Captions to Consider…  (Mark 13:1-8)

And Jesus began to say to them, “See that no one leads you astray. -Mark 13:5

 6 Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and they will lead many astray. 7 And when you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. This must take place, but the end is not yet.  -Mark 13:6-7

Thank you, God, for special people!

God’s Word is reliable and true! I’ll read it every day!

Trust in God’s Word…He keeps His promises!
