Part 1

• What is Johnny learns – in Sunday School vs. Public School

Ken Ham says• Sunday School stories

– Are important– But they don’t connect to the real world !

• Our children – See a cartoon about Noah– Then go out into the “Big Bang” world !

• Our children need– To be able to connect the Bible to the real world !– Teach the Bible as a history book

• The people in the pews need– To connect the Bible to the real world !

Poor little Johnny …

Little Johnny is eager to serve butdoesn’t know what he believes …

What’s really happening …

Johnny’s foundation is not what you think …

What should be taught …

What we should be doing …

Now Johnny knows what is true and what are the “stories”

– For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord

• Romans 10:9– That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe

in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

• Romans 10:13– "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord

will be saved."If you are saved, what are you doing for the Lord, for heaven’s sake ?
