Old Testament People
The Development of Character
The heart is the core of a person's being. Deep down in this core is where hope is born, decisions are made, commitment is strengthened, and character is formed. Character is the stuff that gives people depth and makes them great. The Bible is full of stories that highlight hope, emphasize commitment, and capture character. These are stories of everyday heroes who have gained depth and wisdom and serve as examples for everyone that survival regardless of circumstances is not only possible but also guaranteed when fueled by the power of God. In these pages, students will be introduced to some of the real, everyday heroes whose lives are recorded in the Old Testament. They will discover the struggles of key characters within the creation story, examine the examples of patriarchs, wrestle with the leadership of judges, study the lives of kings and prophets, and delve into the impact of other selected men and women who followed God whole-heartedly. In these sessions, students will also find inspiration and hope in the development of their own character through glimpses of those who have gone before.
