The following lesson was taught in our children’s Sunday School classes on Sunday, December 6. We would encourage you to use the ideas below to review Sunday’s lesson with your family.
God’s Covenant and Commandments for Israel
Read: Exodus 19-20
Ask your child:
- What did God promise Israel in His covenant with them? He would make them a holy nation, a royal priesthood, and His treasured people.
- What did the Israelites promise to the Lord? They promised that they would listen to His voice and keep His covenant.
- What are two major truths revealed by the 10 commandments? God is holy. People cannot obey God perfectly.
Emphasize this principle: God is holy. Therefore, we should love and obey Him.
Practice:
- Praise God for treasuring His people.
- Trust in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins.
- Demonstrate love for God by obeying His Word.
Sing: “Seek Ye First”
Prepare for next week: Read Exodus 25-31, 40
Memorize for Dec 6-Dec 27: “I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.” Galatians 2:20*
