Lesson 6.3: God Gave Rules for Sacrifice

Lesson 6.3: God Gave Rules for Sacrifice

This week, we continued our journey through the Bible using The Gospel Project^® for Kids and examined the rules that God gave His people for how to worship Him in the tabernacle. God required sacrifices from the people when they sinned. The book of Hebrews tells us that the sacrifices themselves did not save the people, but it was their faith in the Sacrifice of Jesus who was to come that saved them.

Help your kids realize that Jesus it the ultimate and perfect Sacrifice and salvation is found in Him alone.

Lesson 6.2: The Tabernacle was Built

Lesson 6.2: The Tabernacle Was Built

Exodus 35:4 - 40:38

This week, we continued our journey through the Bible using The Gospel Project^® for Kids and learned about Israel following God’s very specific instructions on how to build a tabernacle. The people gave joyfully and generously and God equipped them to construct the place where He would dwell with them. We no longer need a tabernacle today because Jesus came to “tabernacle,” or dwell, with God’s people.

Help your kids worship God and thank Him for His gift of Jesus and that through Him people can dwell with God forever.

Lesson 6.1 - The Ten Commandments: Love Others

Lesson 6.1 - The Ten Commandments Love Others

This week, our journey through the Bible using The Gospel Project^® for Kids took us to the remaining six of the Ten Commandments. These commands show God’s people how they can love others. When someone truly loves God, they are compelled to love what He loves - including other people.

Help your kids understand that loving people is not an option but something God commands us to do and something we should want to do out of gratitude to God.

Lesson 4.5 - The Ten Commandments: Love God

Session 4.5 "The Ten Commandments: Love God"
Exodus 19:1-20:11; 31:18

This week, we continued our journey through the Bible using The Gospel Project^® for Kids and examined the first four of the Ten Commandments. These commands were given by God through Moses to teach His people how to love and worship Him. God demands perfect obedience, something none of us can do. And that’s the point of the law - to show us of our need for another way to be right with God; a way found only in Jesus.

Help your kids understand that God is holy and expects us to be holy as well and we can be holy because of Jesus.

Lesson 4.4 - The Golden Calf

Moses -  Session 4.4 "The Golden Calf"

This week, our journey through the Bible using The Gospel Project^® for Kids took us to when Moses went up Mt. Sinai to talk with God for 40 days. During that time, the people rebelled against the one true God and asked Aaron to make a golden calf to be their god. When God became angry, Moses interceded on their behalf. 

Help your kids connect Moses interceding for Israel that day with Jesus interceding for God’s people today.

Lesson 4.3 - The Wilderness Test

Lesson 4.3 - The Wilderness Test

Jan 10th

This week, we continued our journey through the Bible using The Gospel Project^® for Kids and learned that God provided food and water for His people as they wandered in the wilderness. When Israel became hungry and thirsty, they grumbled about Moses and God, and God graciously provided for them even if they did not deserve it. In the same way that God provided for Israel’s physical need, God provides for the spiritual need of people through Jesus.

Help your kids understand that God is gracious and He freely gives what we need - including Jesus - not because of anything they have done, but because of God’s goodness alone.

Lesson 4.2- The Plagues, the Passover, and the Crossing of the Red Sea

Lesson 4.2 - The Plagues, the Passover, and the Crossing of the Red Sea

January 3rd

This week, we returned to our journey through the Bible using The Gospel Project^® for Kids and learned about God leading the Israelites out of Egypt. God used miraculous plagues to show Pharaoh and the Egyptian people that He alone is God and graciously spared the Israelites from the final plague when they trusted in Him and put the blood of a lamb around their doors. God spared Israel by the blood of a lamb, but Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

Help your kids understand that God’s salvation of His people is always by grace through faith and remind them of their need for Jesus to forgive them of their sin.
