Your senior pastor uses Bible Gateway, and the worship pastor uses YouVersion, but what is the Bible website of choice for youth ministers? Well I tell you what it should be: The Brick Testament!
For those of you who don't know, the Brick Testament chronicles most of the Old Testament and part of the New in Legos. From the creation of world to the end of it, you can see it all in colorful blocks of illustrative magic.
I seriously love using this site. The work alone makes it amazing, but the fact that it is easy to navigate the different stories and they are documented for content makes it a great resource. I love putting together power points or videos of all the pictures (there is one for nearly every verse) as a tool to share particular stories with our youth. It always keeps their attention during the lesson, and usually gets a good laugh.
I mentioned above that they document content. Since many of the Bible's Old Testament stories aren't rated PG you see a lot of the Lego equivalent of blood and some depiction of sexual sin. This is reassuring at least to know they aren't doctoring the text, but it should serve as a warning to maybe use discretion with 6th and 7th grade students.
So there you have it! I hope you are encouraged to use this website in the development of future devotions, or it least to visit it and let it bring some joy to your day.
Until next week, God bless.
