8th Grade Bible Course Description
Students will be studying Daring Deliverers which is an in-depth study of the time of the judges. Emphasis is placed on the events during this time as well as the leadership lessons of this book. It is a practical study on being a biblical leader. Even at your age people will follow your example. Are you leading them in a Biblical way? This will be your 1st semester study. This will be followed in the 2nd semester by Wise Up which is a study of the Book of Proverbs. This year we combine leadership and wisdom which are something no Christian can do without. I look forward to a great year as we grow together.
Objectives The learner will have the opportunity to explore the start of the Christian church and the spread of the gospel throughout the known world. The student will experience the life of Christ as witnessed through his birth, ministry, death and resurrection. The desire is that the student will be equipped with the ability and desire to fulfill the Great Commission.
Behavior Policy Discipline and behavior are very important to me. Our actions and behaviors affect more than just ourselves. They influence those around us. The Bible teaches that we are to be good stewards of our time, talents, and blessings. One of those blessings is our mind. Therefore as good stewards of what God has given us, we should behavior in a manner that is honoring to God. Wasted time, talent, and mind dishonor God. Christian behavior is of course expected. You should give no less and I expect no less that your best behavior at all times. Class rules are simple: Attention is to be paid; Respect is to be given; Distractive behavior is to be avoided; Handbook rules are to be followed. In the event of a behavior offense, the following guidelines will be followed. First offense: Consultation with teacher Second offense: Parents are called/ written behavior essay required. Third offense: Automatic D-Hall/ Parents notified Fourth Offense: Principal’s Office for disciplinary meeting
