God’sFlannelgraph |
In
this age of new video technology, it might be hard to believe that some
teachers still feel the best way to depict Bible stories is the
low-tech flannelgraph board. I recall that Sunday school
teachers used those flat boards covered with flannel, which enabled
them to display cutouts of David, Daniel, Jonah, Jesus, and all the
other characters. The flannelgraphs helped my teachers capture the essence of the Bible story in an artistic way.

Read: Psalm 19 |
Those old-school flannelgraphs aren’t the oldest graphic teaching devices, however. God has long had a kind of “flannelgraph” of His own, and it is called creation. God uses the marvel of creation to instruct us and to display His power. In Psalm 19:1, David wrote, “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork.” In creation, God has revealed Himself so clearly that Paul declared, “His invisible attributes are clearly seen.” Those who have the witness of creation are “without excuse” (Rom. 1:20). Why? On the flannelgraph of God’s creation, we see God’s order and design. We see His power and glory. This should lead us to worship. “O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth!” (Ps. 8:1). (Psalm
19 -Audio-)

By the strength of His voice heaven’s hosts were unfurled; Now in His honor we worship His name And in heartfelt devotion His glory proclaim. —Branon Creation
is the canvas on which God has painted His character.

Dios Mismo se Ocupa de Ti • Texto Central: Salmo 23 (Énfasis en los versículos 1-4) • Objetivo: Trasladar la confianza de la gente de lo que los líderes hacen o no hacen a lo que Dios es y hace. 💡 Puntos Clave: 1. La Realidad del Vacío (V. 1a, 2a, 3a): La gente está sintiendo una necesidad profunda (falta de pastoreo, de provisión, de dirección). Mencionar el dolor sin culpar, solo describiendo el sentimiento de abandono. 2. El Pastor Ideal es Jehová (V. 1-2): El Salmo 23 no empieza diciendo "Mi pastor humano" sino "Jehová es mi pastor, nada me faltará." ◦ Provisión y Descanso: Él provee paz ("en lugares de delicados pastos") y restauración ("confortará mi alma"). Donde el hombre falla, Dios es fiel. ◦ Él se ocupa de l...
