Nobody Special 147 | Children’s Ministry Curriculum and Grace in Christ
Children’s and Student’s ministry curriculum, what’s up with that? Is it Gospel based or just moralism? Caleb and Danny take a look at it in this week’s episode of Nobody Special.
Children and Student’s ministry curriculum seems to have a bent towards moralism. This idea puts the action before the Gospel, thinking that the immediacy of a person’s action is more pressing than the eternal destiny of the person. This, is problematic to say the least. Danny and Caleb turn to Ephesians 2 to unpack exactly where our salvation stems from and what role our actions place. Ultimately, we should seek to give glory to God for all we do and that we are IN CHRIST as we receive the love of God.
“But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ— by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” (Ephesians 2:4-10, ESV)
