52 Bible Verse to Teach Your Kids
My wife and I are passionate about equipping our daughters to know the foundations of their faith. We know that Jesus said that unless we build our lives on the rock of God’s Word that we’ll be taken out by the storms of life.
So, we’ve compiled a list of 52 Bible verses to teach your kids. We’ve teamed up with YouVersion Bible App as well to provide a Bible reading plan that goes with it that you can use to engage with your kids! View Reading Plan for kids.
As you engage in each of the fifty two verses in the paperback book or on the YouVerion reading plan, you’ll see that we included with it a brief devotional, a few questions, and a confession of faith that goes along with the verse. You can either engage through the book at your own pace or choose one verse a week and read it each day and help your child memorize it by the end of the week.
I’ve listed the first 10 verses to teach your kids, and you can view the devotionals, questions, and confessions of faith in the online reading plan or in the book. Also, any other favorite verses that you taught your children, please comment below.
