Unit: Unit 2: Abraham & Isaac: Promise Kept
Elementary Essential: God is immutable: He does not change. He keeps his promises and is the same yesterday, today, and forever. But he does change us through the forgiveness of our sin and the process of sanctification as we become more like him.
Elementary Essential: In this unit, children will learn how the story of Abraham and Isaac on Mount Moriah points to the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made on the cross for our sin. Children will study the image of the Lamb as it appears throughout the Bible. Just as God provided the lamb in Isaac’s place, God provided Jesus to die in our place. Children will learn that because God sacrificed His one and only Son, we can trust Him even when things are difficult because He loves us.
Lesson Title: A Sacrifice
Lesson Summary: In this lesson, children watch the story of Abraham and Isaac in the Jesus Storybook Bible. They will examine the ways that the story of Abraham and Isaac point to the greater story of God the Father sending His only Son Jesus to the cross.
Essential: God is immutable: He does not change. He keeps his promises and is the same yesterday, today, and forever. But he does change us through the forgiveness of our sin and the process of sanctification as we become more like him.
Lesson Scripture: Genesis 22; Hebrews 11:1; 17-19; Romans 4:16-18
Lesson Objective: Children will learn the Bible is not a collection of different stories, but one ultimate story of God rescuing His people from sin.
Application: When I am not sure of God’s work in my life, I can be reminded that God is working my own story as part of his bigger story.
