No Prep Sunday School Activity "a hope and a future" Bible Memory Jeremiah 29

There are 12 short Bible verse activities based on Jeremiah 29:11-13, plus additional activity sheets like: coloring pages, tracing pages, a puzzle page to cut out, and a "cut and paste" activity.

How to memorize Bible verses is more than just repeating it over and over. That can get a little boring! Repetition is important for Bible memorization, but staying interested and motivated is equally important. It can be difficult for children to stay focused on memorizing scripture, but who are we kidding? It's difficult for parents, too! That's why I made these activities. The writing activities are appropriate for the readers in the family: from upper elementary to adult. The trace and coloring pages are great for younger children. This way, everyone in the family can study the word of God together!

Jeremiah 29:11-13

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,” says THE LORD, “thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future. 12 You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You shall seek me, and find me, when you search for me with all your heart.

What translation is this?

Because of Copyright law, I am not allowed to scripture from copyright protected translations of the Bible. In general, I use the WEB (World English Bible) translation because it is in the Public Domain, and legally free to use. I do, however, change the use of the name "Yahweh," to "THE LORD" or "the LORD." This is similar to how the NIV, KJV, and ESV translations treat the name of God. If you see LORD in all capital letters in these translations, it is because it is replacing the Hebrew "YHWH." This is not only a Christian custom; it was and continues to be the Jewish custom to read aloud the word "Adonai" (which means "Lord") or "Hashem" (which means "the name"), when you come to God's name, YHWH.

Translation notes for this particular passage:
The NIV uses the word "plans" rather than "thoughts". The original Hebrew word can be used for either "plan" or "thought." I considered changing the word to "plans" because that is the version I am more familiar with, however I don't want to get in the habit of splicing versions. I did prefer that the WEB version uses the word "peace" rather than "prosper", since the original Hebrew does, in fact, say the word "shalom."
