The Sons of Abraham
Dear Parents,
This week in The Gospel Project for Kids, we heard the story of
Abraham’s sons! That’s right, two sons!
Abraham and Sarah took into their own hands the fulfillment of
God’s promise to bring a son into the world. God, as always, did not need their
help—only their faithfulness.
God fulfilled His promise to Abraham, but only in His timing, not
Abraham's. Isaac was the hope of Abraham and Sarah for a future. The ultimate
fulfillment of God’s promise to Abraham is the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus is
the hope of the world for salvation and redemption.
Just in case the “Family Journal Page” didn't make it home:
Bible Passage:
Genesis 16:1-16; 17:15-22, 21:1-7
Big Picture Question: Who always keeps His covenant? God is always faithful to keep
His covenant; people should always trust God.
Key passage to learn this month: "And I will make an
agreement between me and you and all your descendants from now on; I will be
your God and the God of all your descendants." Genesis 17:7
Christ Connection for this week's lesson: God fulfilled His promise to Abraham by giving him a son. Isaac
was the hope of Abraham and Sarah for a future and a legacy. God fulfilled His
promise to the world by giving us His Son. Jesus ultimately fulfilled
God's promise to Abraham, and He is the hope of the world for salvation and
redemption.
Family task for the week: At the beginning of the week, encourage each family member to
make a promise to God (to pray each day, memorize a Bible verse, show someone
God's love, read the Bible every day, and so forth). Write down the promises.
At the end of the week, share and document how well each person did at keeping
that promise. Talk about how God always keeps His promises.
