Old Testament Bible Lessons

Esther — The Jews Saved

Old Testament Bible Lessons

This course is a series of Bible lessons on the Old Testament designed for older (middle school) children. Each lesson is about 20 minutes in length. The video portion of each lesson is accompanied by a Lesson Guide containing quizzes and test questions. The Lesson Guide is available in pdf format and can be downloaded or printed out for the student to complete in class. This course is very well suited for both home schools and private Christian schools worldwide, though it is primarily designed for use in a group setting. Parents and teachers can provide additional guidance to supplement these lessons and Bible knowledge tests, if desired.

Esther — The Jews Saved

In this lesson, we see how God’s providence was at work, putting a Jewish girl on the throne of Persia, and making her uncle a hero. You will be surprised at the end of this story, and the glory that came to God’s name.
