The Bible
Good Morning Boys and girls!
This morning we're going to do something really fun. We're going to pretend that we're going
camping. Have any of you lever been camping? If you haven't would you love to go camping?
When you go camping, VOL! need something to stay in. We'll need to buy a tent and we'll need
to be sure that it comes with instructions so that we'll know what to do. We'll also need to buy
a map so we can figure out where we are and where we're going. We'll need a flashlight to see
what path to take. We'll need batteries to charge up the flashlight. We'll be thirsty so we'll
need water. We'll need to be fed, so we'll get some bread.
You know what, going camping kind of sounds like living! As we live on this earth, our bodies
are like tents. They're just a temporary house for us. We won't live in our tents forever. When
we die, our tent will be put away and we'll have a wonderful new body in Heaven. We don't
need to pack all the things that you need for camping. We can find all those things right here in
this book, God's Holy Word, the Bible. The Bible is our map. We can read God's Word and find
out where we should go and where we're going after this life is over. God's Word tells us what
to do and not to do to have a good life that pleases God. We don't need batteries to charge us
up, because God has sent his Holy Spirit to keep us fired up! In Psalm 119, God's Word says
that the Bible is a lamp for bur feet and a light for our path. It will help us find truth. When we
get thirsty, we reach for water, but Jesus says that he is living water. When we love Jesus he
fills us with living water and[ we're very satisfied. God's Word says that Jesus is the Bread of
Life. When we love Jesus and feed on His Word, our souls will be filled.
The Bible is an amazing book. The B-1-B-L-E, yes that's the book for me. I stand alone on the
Word of God, the B-1-B-L-E.
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for the Bible, your Holy Word to us. In Jesus' mighty name we
pray, Amen.

About the Book

About the Author
Debbie Ogden Mayes is a lifelong resident of Livingston, Texas. She’s been married to her High School Sweetheart, Keith for over 40 years. Debbie has two grown children with families of their own. She says her four grandchildren are the frosting on life’s cake.
Debbie has been involved in children’s ministry for many years. She spent 20 years serving in the Primary Sunday School Department at Chesswood Baptist Church in Livingston, Texas, teaching two and three year olds as well as 4 and 5 year olds. She served at Central Baptist Church in Livingston, Texas writing and presenting the Children’s Sermon during worship. While at Central Baptist Church, she also led many Women’s Bible Studies. Debbie has no formal education to brag about. She’s been gifted by God to write and present Bible messages on a level that children can understand and adults can benefit from as well.

My prayer is that this book falls into the hands of Children’s Ministry Leaders, Sunday School Teachers, and Pastors that are desperately seeking a message to impact the children they are ministering to. Writing children’s messages comes easily for me. Over the years, I have learned that it doesn’t come that easy for others. I hope and pray this book will be the resource you need. May the words given to me by God, flow through you, planting seeds of salvation, reaping an abundant harvest.
As you teach children, get on their eye level, be silly, let them talk and ask questions. Smile a lot. Be playful, demonstrative, and always be full of energy and excitement.
