LIFEPAC Select Life of Christ Complete Set

Description

Deepen your middle or high school student’s understanding of Jesus Christ with the LIFEPAC Select Life of Christ Complete Set, a comprehensive one-semester elective that provides focused, intensive study of the Messiah’s earthly ministry and eternal significance. This thoughtfully curated curriculum from Alpha Omega Publications combines proven content from LIFEPAC core subjects into a cohesive Christology course perfect for multi-level teaching, unit studies, or specialized biblical focus.

Why a dedicated Life of Christ study is essential for teen development: During the crucial middle and high school years, students often struggle with questions about faith, identity, and purpose. This curriculum addresses these developmental needs by providing a systematic, chronological study of Jesus that helps teens understand both His historical significance and personal relevance. Students develop a mature, biblically grounded understanding of Christ that strengthens their faith foundation and prepares them for adult spiritual challenges.

The five carefully selected worktexts provide comprehensive coverage of Christ’s life and ministry: Christian Evidences and Fulfilled Prophecies about Christ (7th Grade Bible Unit 4) – establishing the prophetic foundation and historical reliability of Jesus’ identity as Messiah, The Life of Christ Part One (7th Grade Bible Unit 7) – covering the incarnation, early life, and beginning of public ministry, The Life of Christ Part Two (7th Grade Bible Unit 8) – examining the public and private ministry in Galilee, plus the Judean and Perean ministry periods, The Life of Christ Part Three (7th Grade Bible Unit 9) – focusing on the Jerusalem ministry, crucifixion, and resurrection, and The Revelation of Jesus Christ (New Testament Survey Unit 6) – studying Christ’s glorified state and triumphant return as revealed in Revelation.

Multi-level teaching advantages for homeschool families: This curriculum’s unique design makes it exceptionally valuable for families with multiple students in grades 7-12. The content appropriately challenges high school students while remaining accessible to seventh graders, allowing families to teach siblings together efficiently. The focused topic prevents the confusion that can occur when mixing different grade levels in comprehensive Bible surveys, while the semester length fits perfectly into various scheduling arrangements.

Apologetics foundation that strengthens faith: Unit 4’s emphasis on Christian evidences and fulfilled prophecies provides students with intellectual tools for defending their faith. Students examine Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah, study archaeological and historical evidence supporting biblical accounts, and develop logical reasoning skills for addressing skeptical questions. This apologetics foundation proves invaluable for students entering secular college environments or engaging with non-Christian friends.

Chronological approach that builds understanding: Unlike topical studies that can fragment the Gospel narrative, this curriculum follows Jesus’ life chronologically from prophecy through ascension and future return. Students understand the logical progression of Christ’s ministry, see how each event builds upon previous ones, and grasp the unified purpose behind seemingly separate incidents. This chronological framework helps students remember biblical events and understand their theological significance.

Historical and geographical context integration: Each unit includes detailed historical background about first-century Palestine, Jewish customs, Roman occupation, and geographical settings of Christ’s ministry. Students gain appreciation for the political, social, and religious pressures Jesus faced, making His teachings and actions more meaningful. Maps, timelines, and cultural explanations help students visualize the historical reality of the Gospel accounts.

Theological depth appropriate for teens: The curriculum successfully introduces complex theological concepts including the Incarnation, the Trinity, substitutionary atonement, and eschatology without overwhelming students. Each doctrine is explained clearly with biblical support, helping students develop mature theological understanding while building vocabulary for future advanced studies. The progression from earthly ministry to glorified Christ provides a complete Christological foundation.

Assessment strategy that ensures mastery: Each worktext includes built-in reviews, self-tests, and teacher-administered assessments that verify both factual knowledge and spiritual comprehension. The mastery learning approach ensures students thoroughly understand each phase of Christ’s ministry before progressing to the next. Regular assessments help identify areas needing additional attention while building confidence through demonstrated progress.

Flexible scheduling for various needs: The semester length (approximately 18 weeks) makes this curriculum adaptable to different scheduling preferences including traditional fall/spring semesters, intensive summer study, or integrated year-long programs. Individual units can be completed in 3-4 weeks, allowing families to adjust pacing based on student interest, comprehension needs, or external schedules.

Character development through Christ’s example: Throughout the study, students examine Jesus’ character qualities including compassion, integrity, courage, humility, and love. Each unit includes application questions that help students consider how Christ’s example applies to contemporary situations including peer pressure, family relationships, academic challenges, and future career decisions. This character focus helps teens develop Christian maturity and moral reasoning skills.

Perfect for: Families with multiple middle/high school students wanting focused biblical study, students preparing for confirmation or baptism, teens struggling with faith questions who need deeper understanding, families preferring intensive topical studies over survey courses, students interested in apologetics and Christian evidences, and homeschoolers wanting high-quality semester electives that strengthen biblical foundations.

This curriculum has proven particularly effective for students planning mission trips, those preparing for youth leadership roles, and families wanting to provide solid theological grounding before students enter college or begin careers.
