The Heart of Humility: Teaching Kids to Put Others First: A family study of Philippians 2

by Luke Gilkerson

The Heart of Humility is a 30-lesson family devotional that helps your children understand the importance of putting others first. Focusing on Philippians 2:1-18, the study unearths a dozen biblical motivations for why we should strive to be humble. Most importantly, the study focused on the ultimate example of humility by studying the incarnation and death of Jesus Christ. Each Lesson • An opening thought to prepare your kids for the lesson • A Scripture reading • An explanation of that passage in simple terms • Discussion questions • A prayer What Others are "I can honestly say that they have a profound gift for taking a verse and/or concept and putting it into terms that make it easy to understand… The Heart of Humility is a great family focused study that could really benefit your whole family." – Sarah at Simple Life Abundant Life "I had heard nothing but good things about the devotional. And I have not been disappointed… Each lesson is right at the perfect level for both of my children… the text goes deep enough for my 8 year old, so he doesn’t end up bored and isn’t over the head of my 4 year old. And, in all honesty, mommy and daddy have found themselves convicted of heart attitudes multiple times…" – Corah at The Homespun Rabble Rouser "He does a wonderful job of giving simple, yet accurate explanations of what is being studied. And the questions at the end of each day are thought provoking, open-ended questions—not silly, pointless, “Sunday School” answer questions." – Annette at In All You Do

Reviews

[Rebekah M]

We went through this together about three days/week for our fall semester Bible curriculum (kids aged 1-8). By the end of the semester, the two oldest kids and Mom had memorized Philippians 2:1-18. The younger three had memorized approximately half of the passage and were very familiar with the rest. The lessons are perfect for the whole family to glean from without being too long for the youngest children to sit through (unless you get a lot of interruptions). We usually worked on it at the end of breakfast time.
