Teaching Children God’s Word – Volume 3

Theo Presents, a new animated children’s DVD series in the spirit of classic Disney animation connecting children to God’s Word and the Good News of salvation. Theo and his two trouble-making mice, Belfry and Luther – explore value lessons that come directly from the iconic stories of the Bible.

In the third DVD – God’s Heart – the topics of justification, adoption into the kingdom of heaven, and prayer are presented in easy to understand ways that are designed to help children learn about the Christian Faith.

Enjoy the stories and lessons of Theo, a student of God’s Word. Our animated series guides children and adults through a careful study of systematic theology, capturing the attention of young minds with humor and engaging animation.

ABOUT GOD’S HEART:

With Theo, learning about God and who He’s called us to be is easy and fun.
Each lesson focuses on a spiritual topic that both entertains and teaches children about key aspects in the Christian faith.

Lesson 7 – Justification (approx. 10 mins)
If only God could somehow make sinners righteous without violating His holy character and justice. But that’s just what He did through a process known as justification, a legal term that means, “to declare righteous.” Big word, huh? Theo makes it simple for children––and his two mischievous church mice––to understand, by telling the beautiful story of the thief on the cross, who was justified by his faith in Jesus.

Lesson 8 – Adoption (approx. 11 mins)
All of us want to belong to a caring family, full of unconditional love, don’t we? When Theo welcomes a dog named Bumper into his home, a suspicious Luther and Belfry want him out! That is, until Bumper saves them from a life-threatening encounter with Scratch the cat! Using the beautiful and touching story seen in the Shoebox Bible Theatre, Theo illustrates the biblical teaching of adoption in the Bible, to show how God lovingly welcomes homeless sinners into His family.

Lesson 9 – A Day in Prayer (approx. 11 mins.)
In this episode we catch an insightful glimpse into Theo’s daily prayer life, which is basically an illustration of the Lord’s Prayer model to His disciples. It is important that we learn how to pray, but it is also important to learn how not to pray. We are taught both examples through the Shoebox Bible Theatre and through our humorous UPA sequences. Meanwhile, our two mice friends are faced with a problem of going without their daily cheese, and Belfry learns that we “have not because we ask not.”

Theo was created to reach kids of all ages. The Gospel-centered lessons can be used for Sunday school lessons, Christian school curriculum, missions, evangelism and homeschooling. And now, with THEO HOME EDITION, parents can confidently create devotional time with their families at home.
