Here is one of my favorite, go to places for materials for children. There are a few free things and many with a small cost (well worth the investment). I subscribe to her blog.

This has a few FREE resources marked with green but to get access to all the resources we would have to purchase a subscription. If enough people wanted to use it we could purchase a subscription for the church and share that with 25 people. I think there are enough lessons for a few weeks of lock down, however.

Adult Bible Study Resources
For adults my favorite Bible Study resource is https://www.studylight.org/
It has commentaries, encyclopedias, dictionaries, sermon notes, Bible reading plans, devotionals, maps and much more.
On my phone I use “YouVersion” Bible app. It has devotionals, and can sync with your email for reminders. It has the Bible in a ton of versions and is very easy to navigate. YouVersion also reads the Bible to you – so you can listen on your phone as you drive along or are working around the house.
Bible Gateway is another favorite online site I use all the time. https://www.biblegateway.com/ It has an easy search for keyword, passage, or topic and also has a ton of versions available. Sometimes we remember a verse as we heard it in one version but it is phrased differently in another version – so sometimes you have to look up the same idea or word in a different version to find the verse you want. It is also very easy to use. You can easily compare versions and read verses in context. It also will read the Bible to you – so you can turn on your speakers and listen to the Bible. It has devotionals, reading plans, topical index, and study helps. It is very easy to navigate.
Walk with the King is one of my favorite devotional programs to listen to online https://www.walkwiththeking.org/ Dr. Robert A. Cook is (was) a great Bible teacher. His daily devotions are Biblical and always a great encouragement to me. They are arranged on the site by number so if you get in a series you can continue consecutively, or by topic or Bible passage.
I tune my car radio to the 3 Christian stations I can receive in our area: 103.3 (Moody Radio), 91.7 (Christian Family Radio), and 95.5 (The Fish) for more modern Christian music.
I graduated from Columbia International University and had Buck Hatch as a teacher. Here is a source of some of his teaching – preserved and shared. I highly recommend it! https://buckhatchlibrary.com/library/ It is from Columbia, South Carolina, so you might have to get used to his way of speaking. But I guarantee it is well worth the listen.
