"We had another great week at The Gospel
Project for Kids. Today your kids learned that when sin entered the world, God
already had a plan to provide a Savior. God’s plan to provide a redeemer for
His people began through the person of Abraham.
God called Abraham to move away from his home and
land to a place that God Himself would show him. Abraham obeyed and God would
use Abraham to bless all people, even you and me. Abraham had much faith in the
promise God had given him, and God credited Abraham’s faith as righteousness.
Kids heard that all people are sinners, but
through the family of Abraham, God sent His Son Jesus, who never sinned, to
bring salvation to God’s people. Boys and girls learned that through the family
of Abraham, Jesus was born."
Gospel
Project
Just
in case the “Family Journal Page” didn't make it home:
Bible
Passage: Genesis 12:2-3;
15:1-21; 17:1-9
Big
Picture Question: Why did
God choose Abraham? God chose Abraham to be a part of His covenant plan to send
Jesus to earth to bring us salvation.
Key
passage to learn this month: “And
I will make an agreement between me and you and all your descendants from now
on; and I will be your God and the God of all your descendants." Genesis
17:7
Christ
Connection for this week's lesson: God chose Abraham to be the father of the nation in which Jesus
would be born. In this way, Abraham would bless all nations, as God had
promised. God also saw Abraham's faith in God's promises and counted it as
righteousness. It is faith in Jesus' perfect righteousness that brings
salvation to God's people.
Family
task for the week: Give
each family member five star stickers or cutouts. Find a map or
globe, and encourage each person to put a sticker on a place as a reminder
to pray for the people there to see God's covenant plan to send Jesus. Repeat
each day. Write your prayers.
Next
time you are at church, look at the Operation Christmas Child bulletin
board in the children's wing. Areas of the world where OCC boxes go
are listed on the bulletin board. You might want to pray for these locations as
you are preparing your boxes.
