March 16th Lesson Taught by Ryan and Zach

Obedience Lesson 4

Matthew 28:1-10; 17-20
Monthly Bible Verse: 1 John 4:19 We love because he first loved us.*
Monthly Theme: Go and be obedient*
Weekly Focus: Jesus said ,Go and make disciples.*
Weekly Story: Matthew 28: 1-10; 17-20

Learning objectives: The things we want the kids to understand when they go home
are:
1. Jesus tells us to go and make disciples.
2. We need to be obedient like Noah, Abraham, and Moses and do what Jesus
asks us to do.

Check in activity: See the on going theme activity post right before this for your opening activity. You may also want to have a volunteer keep a rhythm with an instrument if you have one... you can easily make one by putting rice in a little jar or plastic storage container. You might want a couple and to have the children take turns.

Lesson warm up:
Hide the following pictures in Eggs in the room (there are empty eggs in the cupboard):
1. Cup
2. Praying hands
3. Cross
4. Linen
5. Rock
6. Empty

Tell the kids that there are 6 missing eggs and they need to be found (you will want to
hide the eggs in fairly hard to find places so that it takes some time for the kids to find
them). There can be more than one egg with the same picture in it so that the children all have a chance to find one. The eggs should be brought to you once they have been found. After they have
all been retrieved, open them in the order listed above, (maybe color coordinate them) assisted by the child who found
each. Ask the kids if they remember what they represent:
Cup (Matthew 26:27-28)
Jesus served communion to his disciples before he died on the cross for our sins.

Praying hands (Mark 14:32-34)
After having communion/bread and wine with his disciples, Jesus went to a place
called the Garden of Gethsemane to pray to his Father, God, because he knew people
were coming to take him to the cross to crucify him.

Cross (John 19:16-18)
Jesus died on the cross for our sins.

Linen (Matthew 27:59-61)
After Jesus died on the cross for our sins he was wrapped in linen (like sheets) and
was buried in a tomb (a big hole in the rocks).

Rock (Matthew 27:29-61)
After Jesus had been wrapped in the linen, he was placed in the tomb and a HUGE
stone was rolled in front of the tomb so that nobody could steal Jesus« body from the
tomb.

Empty (Matthew 28:5-7)
On Easter Sunday, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to the tomb, but they
found that the tomb was empty. An angel who was there told them that nobody stole
Jesus body; he had raised from the dead.
Once you reach the empty tomb, tell the kids that today they get to hear the next part
of the story, which is what happened at the tomb when Mary came to it, and what
happened when she found the tomb empty like the empty egg.

Ask the kids: Did Jesus disappear? Did he turn to dust? Did somebody steal his body?
Does anybody know what happened to Jesus body and why it wasn't in the tomb?

Matthew 28
Jesus Is Risen! 1(A)Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, (B)Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave.
2And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for (C)an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away (D)the stone and sat upon it.
3And (E)his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.
4The guards shook for fear of him and became like dead men.
5The angel said to the women, "(F)Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified.
6"He is not here, for He has risen, (G)just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.
7"Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you (H)into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you."
8And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples.
9And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him.
10Then Jesus said to them, "(I)Do not be afraid; go and take word to (J)My brethren to leave (K)for Galilee, and there they will see Me."

March 2nd Lesson Taught by Crystal and Michelle

Obedience Lesson 3
Exodus 3:1-12

Monthly Bible Verse: 1 John 4:19 We love because he first loved us.*
Monthly Theme: Go and be obedient*
Weekly Focus: God told Moses, Go tell Pharaoh, 1Let My people go.«*
Weekly Story: Exodus 3:1-12

Learning objectives: The things we want the kids to understand when they go home
are:
1. God told Moses to tell Pharaoh to let My people go.
2. Moses was obedient and did what God asked him to do.

Check in activity: See the on going theme activity post right before this for your opening activity. You may also want to have a volunteer keep a rhythm with an instrument if you have one... you can easily make one by putting rice in a little jar or plastic storage container. You might want a couple and to have the children take turns.

Lesson warm up:
Break the kids into groups, making sure each has an adult leader. Have the leader
explain to their kids that he or she are going to ask them to do something for him or
her. Separate the groups into different parts of the room so there is no confusion as to
who is in each group. The kids should stand by their leader and the leader should tell
them to GO and get something, do something, or perform a particular task for
him/her. Each request should start with a GO. For example, the adult leader can
request, GO get me a crayon,GO run around the room,GO find me a piece of
paper,GO crawl under the table,GO make a funny face, etc. In each request you
may also want to give a location, for example, GO to the door and knock three times.
Once each kid has been able to do at least two requests, have them sit down and tell
them that they did a great job. Ask some of the kids what their leader asked them to
do. Then tell them that today we are going to learn about a time that God told Moses to
GO and do something for Him. Just like your leaders told you to GO and do something
for them.

Exodus 3

The Burning Bush

1Now Moses was pasturing the flock of ^(A)Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to ^(B)Horeb, the ^(C)mountain of God.

2^(D)The angel of the LORD appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a ^(E)bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed.

3So Moses said, "^(F)I must turn aside now and see this marvelous sight, why the bush is not burned up."

4When the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, ^(G)God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am."

5Then He said, "Do not come near here; ^(H)remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground."

6He said also, "^(I)I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob " ^(J)Then Moses hid his face, for he was ^(K)afraid to look at God.

7The LORD said, "I have surely ^(L)seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have given heed to their cry because of their taskmasters, for I am aware of their sufferings.

8"So I have come down ^(M)to deliver them from the power of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a ^(N)good and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of ^(O)the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.

9"Now, behold, ^(P)the cry of the sons of Israel has come to Me; furthermore, I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them.

The Mission of Moses

10"Therefore, come now, and I will send you to Pharaoh, ^(Q)so that you may bring My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt."

11But Moses said to God, "^(R)Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?"

12And He said, "Certainly ^(S)I will be with you, and this shall be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: ^(T)when you have brought the people out of Egypt, ^(U)you shall worship God at this mountain."

Cross references:

For The Children:

One day Moses was working with his father in law's flock of sheep. When he was on the side of a mountain he saw something amazing. There was a Bush. It was on fire. Now what happens when something normally catches on fire? ... it would burn up. Well this was a special bush. It would not burn up.

Now Moses was amazed by this. He stopped what he was doing and stared at the bush. He wondered why it was not burning. When God saw that Moses had stopped to look at the bush God called to him. He said Moses Moses. Ans Moses said here I am!!

God told Moses not to come any closer. He told moses to take off his sandals. Because he was standing in a very special holy place.

God told Moses.... I am God. I am your father. I am the father of Abraham ... who went to a place he did not know. I am the God of everyone.

God told Moses that he saw his people who were very sad in Egypt. They were being beaten and made slaves. They were crying. So God told moses that God came to save them . He had a place for them to live. A beautiful place. With lots or room and food to eat. God told Moses that he was to go to Egypt and see the Pharoh... or the King... and tell him to let his people go. Then God will bring his people away rom Egypt.

But Moses was worried. Why me? I am shy, he said... Surely you have the wrong man.

But God said .. no your are the one who will go. And I will be with you the whole time.

And you know what? Moses was obedient. He did just as the Lord instructed. And the Lord kept his promise and protected his people.

Questions:

What did God tell Moses to do? ..... Let my people go.

Did Moses obey?.... yes

Why?.... because Moses was obedient.

Did God protect Moses?... Yes

What does obediant mean?.... To do what we are told

Are you obediant?....

What can we do to be obediant?

Craft: burning bush.

Genesis 12
Abram Journeys to Egypt 1Now (A)the LORD said to Abram, "Go forth from your country, And from your relatives And from your father's house, To the land which I will show you; 2And (B)I will make you a great nation, And (C)I will bless you, And make your name great; And so (D)you shall be a blessing; 3And (E)I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse (F)And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed."
4So Abram went forth as the LORD had spoken to him; and (G)Lot went with him. Now Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
5Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his nephew, and all their (H)possessions which they had accumulated, and (I)the persons which they had acquired in Haran, and they set out for the land of Canaan; (J)thus they came to the land of Canaan.
6Abram passed through the land as far as the site of (K)Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. Now the Canaanite was then in the land.
7The LORD (L)appeared to Abram and said, "(M)To your descendants I will give this land " So he built (N)an altar there to the LORD who had appeared to him.
8Then he proceeded from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, with (O)Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the LORD and (P)called upon the name of the LORD.

Pretend you are Abraham. Tell the children: " My name is Abraham. God has important things in store for me. I am going to tell you about a time God asked me to do something that was very hard to do. One day. God Asked me to pack up a bag of things. He told me to take my lovely wife Sarah and my nephew Lot and to move away from my comfortable house with warmth and food and to leave my family. Well I asked God where I was going and he just wanted me to be obedient. He told me just to go and he would tell me where I was going... so I did... I packed up my bag (Put all your stuff in your bag) and we were on our way. Now I am an old man...75 years old and I walked for a while. Finally I arrived at a place named Caanan. And God said this is the land that I will give to you and your family because you are obedient. And it was. I went on to raise children here.... but that is another story.

February 17th Lesson, Taught by the Arneys

Obedience Lesson 1

Genesis 6:18-7:5
Monthly Bible Verse: 1 John 4:19 We love because he first loved us.
Monthly Theme: Go and be obedient
Weekly Focus: God told Noah to go and build a boat; Noah was obedient.
Weekly Story: Genesis 6:18-7:5

Learning objectives:

The things we want the kids to understand when they go home are:
1. God told Noah to go and build a boat.
2. Noah was obedient and did everything God told him to do.

Check in activity:
We are on to new and exciting Bible lessons this week. The ongoing monthly activity is in the next post after this.

As this is the first week, tell the kids the questions and show them the answers and
hand motions yourself as they march so they can begin to understand what is
expected of them. This will develop over the next few weeks. You may also want to
have them march in place until they pick up the answers and hand motions, at which
time they can march around the room. If nothing else, the kids will enjoy the marching,
rhythm and cadence questions. If they learn the hand motions after the question is
asked, it will be a bonus. You may also want to have a volunteer keep a rhythm with an
instrument if you have one... you can easily make one by putting rice in a little jar or plastic storage container. You might want a couple and to have the children take turns.

Lesson warm up:

Tell the kids that today they are going to be learning about Noah and that God told
Noah to go build a great big boat called and ark. Noah lived in a very dry place and
when God told Noah to build a boat, even though Noah didn«t understand, he did what
God told him to do.
Q: Who can tell me something about Noah and the Ark?

Tell the kids that one of the things that God told Noah to do was to collect two of every
kind of animal and put them in the ark.

Tell the kids that today they get to pretend to be Noah. They will be given an animal
picture and they will have to find the picture of the animal that matches the one they
were given. Once they have found the matching animal, they will give the pair to you. Hang a piece of brown butcher paper on the wall. There should be some in the classroom. If not just use the wall. This will be the Ark.
Once all the animals are brought to you, tape them to the paper. I am inserting some links here so you Cow; Puppy; Horse; Bird; Monkey; Bunny; Elephant; Tiger; Kitten; Pig; Sheep; Mouse; Deer; Raccoon . This should be enough. Print 2 of each. Any problems let me know I will see what I can do.

For The Children:

God was very upset. His people were not being obediant. They were all acting very naughty. But there was one man who was following God. His name was Noah. Noah was very obediant to God. Who knows what Obediant means?.....do what we are told. God told Noah to build an ark. He told Noah to take his whole family on to the Ark. But that is all God told Noah to find 2 of every kind of animal, one boy animal and one girl animal, and to take care of them and keep them alive on the boat.
This meant any animal... every kind of bird and bug and rodents and every kind of animal. God wanted Noah to keep all of the animals healthy.
God also told Noah to gather enough food to eat for his whole family and all the animals. So Noah did just that. Even though the sun was out and all the other people were thought Noah was crazy, Noah obeyed God.

Then God told Noah to Enter the ark. So Noah did. With his whole family and all the animals. God was protecting Noah from what he was about to do, because Noah was obedient.

7 days later God sent rain. And rained and rained and rained and rained. God made it rain for 40 days and 40 nights. During that time the earth flooded destroying everything and every person. But not Noah and his family... and all the animals. When it was all done God sent a rainbow... as a promise that He would never flood the earth again.

Questions:

What did God tell Noah to build? ..... an Ark
What is an Ark?.... A big boat
Who did God tell Noah to bring with him into the Ark?.... 2 of each animal... .his family
Why did God protect Noah and his family?... Because he was obediant.
What does obediant mean?.... To do what we are told
Are you obediant?....
What can we do to be obediant?

Opening Activity:

Review the wordless book. I found it worked well right after worship time to give them snack at the table and bring out the wordless book basket. Ask them the first what the colors mean. Then ask if they remember the motion that goes with it. For the Jesus heals since it is represented by a band aid, we changed the motion to holding tip of index finger and saying ouch. Then please make sure they have been introduced to all of them. At the end please bring it back to the yellow , Jesus goes to Heaven and let them know this is what we will be learning today. Then you can move them to the Bible blanket.

The Coming of Christ 11And I saw (A)heaven opened, and behold, a (B)white horse, and He who sat on it is called (C)Faithful and True, and in (D)righteousness He judges and wages war.
12His (E)eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many (F)diadems; and He has a (G)name written on Him which no one knows except Himself.
13He is clothed with a (H)robe dipped in blood, and His name is called (I)The Word of God.
14And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in (J)fine linen, (K)white and clean, were following Him on white horses.
15(L)From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that (M)with it He may strike down the nations, and He will (N)rule them with a rod of iron; and (O)He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty.
16And on His robe and on His thigh He has (P)a name written, "(Q)KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."

For the Children:

Over the last couple month we have learned all about the life of Jesus. Where was he born?... Bethleham in a manger.

Who baptized Him?... his cousin, John the Baptist

Jesus was a teacher from a young age. He performed lots of miracles, and he was tempted just like you and me. But did Jesus ever sin?...No. Jesus died on the cross for our sins and was put in a tomb after he died. But then Jesus rose again. There were some that didn't believe Jesus was alive, but then Jesus showed them the holes in his hands. The Jesus went up to heavan to live with God. Well this is story that one of Jesus' disciples named John told. John had a vision about something that would happen. He told in the very last book of the Bible... Revelation that Jesus was going to come back. And guess what... it still hasn't happened. This is part of what John saw.
John saw the heavans open up and a beautiful white horse that was being riden by Jesus. He said the Jesus was the rider of the horse and that the rider of the horse was faithful and true. And righteous. He said the rider of the horse had many crowns. He is coming back angry at those people who have not been following Him. He has armies behind him all on horses and dressed in white. They are following Jesus. Jesus has a sword and on his robes it is written KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. John saw that heavan and earth became new. Imagine. Everything we see around us gone and made new. Even the sea. All the people following God are happy to see him. Jesus lives with them and is their God. There is no more death or pain. No one is sad or cries. Everything is different. Can you imagine. We get to live with Jesus. As long as we have faith and believe that Jesus Christ is our lord. This place is called heavan. After Jesus rose up to heavan.. He has been preparing a place there for us. And everyone who believes and loves and trusts Jesus will live with Him forever. And those don't will not get to.

Questions:
When John saw all this he knew it was true. Even though it hadn't happened and he didn't see it.

Why?... Because John had faith.
Do you have Faith?...

What is Sin?... When you do something you are not supposed to.

Does everyone sin?...yes

Did Jesus Sin?.... No

Who should we be more like?... Jesus

Is Jesus coming back?... Yes

When?... We do not know

Will it be a happy day?... Yes for all believers

John 20:24-31

24But (A)Thomas, one of (B)the twelve, called (C)Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25So the other disciples were saying to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in (D)His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, (E)I will not believe."
26After eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst and said, "(F)Peace be with you."
27Then He said to Thomas, "(G)Reach here with your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand and put it into My side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing."
28Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"
29Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? (H)Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed."
Why This Gospel Was Written 30(I)Therefore many other (J)signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;
31but these have been written (K)so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, (L)the Son of God; and that (M)believing you may have life in His name.

For the Children:

Last week we learned about how after Jesus died on the cross for our sins, he was put in a tomb. But who remembers what happened? ... (Jesus was alive) but remember the angel appeared and told Mary Magdelan to tell the others, but she was too afraid. Today we will learn what happened next. So Jesus began to appear to the desciples, but one of the twelve disciples named Thomas, was not with them when Jesus came.
When the other disciples saw Thomas they were very excited and said. "We have seen the Lord!" But Thomas thought they were kidding or maybe crazy, he said to them "Unless Jesus shows me the holes in his hand that were put there when he was nailed to the cross and I can touch them, I will not believe it."
Well eight days later Thomas had his chance. The disciples with Thomas were inside again and Jesus appeared. Now Jesus did not walk through the doors or climb through a window, because they were all shut. Jesus just appeared. Can you imagine that? What if we are just sitting here with the door shut and the windows closed and I am standing here talking to you. well what would you do if all of a sudden you saw Jesus just show up standing beside me. What do you think you would do? (allow children to answer) Well lets see what Thomas did. 26After eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst and said, "Peace be with you." When Jesus appeared in the room he said, "Peace be with you" to his friends.
Then just as Thomas wanted, Jesus put out his hand. He took Thomas' hand and let him feel the holes in them. He told Thomas that now he needs to believe that Jesus is alive. And Thomas did believe. He called Jesus his Lord and his God. ansHe was very excited.

Jesus said to him, I am glad you have seen me and now believe. But He was very happy and blessed the men that believed that Jesus rose from the tomb, even before he had seen them.

This is called faith. We are to believe in Jesus. That Jesus rose from the grave and went to heaven. We believe that Jesus is God. Even having never seen him.

Questions:

Did everyone believe that Jesus was alive? .... No Who didn't believe?...... Thomas What did Thomas say would have to happen for him to believe?.... He would need to see and touch the holes in Jesus' hands. Did Thomas get to see the holes in Jesus' hands?.... Yes Did Thomas believe?.... Yes Who did Jesus say would be blessed?.... The people that believe without seeing. Did Jesus go to heaven?.... Yes Who is Jesus?.... God
