Extending the Learning - WEEK 1

Joseph's story and how he fulfilled God's plan for his life.
(This is a video someone made for their Sunday School for which I'm very grateful. But it is the story I want you to focus on.)


Consider what might have happened if Joseph had not gone to Egypt.
1. Who would have interpreted the king's dreams?
2. How might the famine have affected Joseph's family in the Promised Land?
3. How long did it take for Joseph's dreams come true?


Moses was saved by Pharoah's daughter. Here is the story:

God's Story: Moses from Crossroads Kids' Club on Vimeo.

1. Do you think it was God's plan for Moses to have Pharoah's daughter find him in the basket?
2. What positive things happened to Moses as a result?
3. What was Moses' reaction to God's call from the burning bush?
4. Did God allow Moses to have a helper? Who was it?

In your spare time, research some of these amazing stories and Bible characters:

Gideon - read Judges 6:11-31 and write your answers in your spiral.

1. Why was Gideon in the winepress threshing wheat? Isn't a winepress used to squash grapes?
2. What did the angel call Gideon when he first saw him?
3. Did Gideon's actions at this time agree with the name the angel called him?
    If you read Judges 7:19-21 you will see that Gideon does finally live up the to name the angel called him when they first met at the winepress.

Samson - read Judges 13:2-13 and write your answers in your spiral.

1. What happened to Manoah's wife that was unusual?
2. Did she receive any special instructions?
3. What are the requirements for being a Nazarite? See verses 7 and 13.
4. What could Samson do as a result of his obedience to the Nazarite requirements?

Consequences Belong to You WEEK 5 - PART 3

Image
Learning the Word of God and putting it in your heart is always time well spent. So continue to be diligent in practicing and reciting our Bible verses. Cover the brown words below with your hand and try to say Galatians 6:7. Do not deceive yourselves; no one makes a fool of God. A man will reap exactly what he plants. Galatians 6:7 Concerning consequences: You may have heard some of these sayings: "What goes around comes around." "You get what you deserve."   "You reap what you sow." It is important to understand that the person who makes a choice deserves the consequence. For instance, if you make a choice, it is not your parent's fault if you receive a consequence. Remember that consequences are directly related to your own choices. Look in the glossary of your spiral and find the definition for AUTHORITY. Authority is the power or right to give orders,   make decisions, and enforce obedience ...

Making a Respectful Appeal WEEK 14 - Part 1

Image
We have reached the last chapter of our peace making study! I am proud of the way you have stuck with the program and worked toward completion. Great job!! We will celebrate more fully as we can gather together. In our last chapter we learned how to use the communication pie tool to send and receive messages with people in our family.  1. As a review exercise, write a paragraph that tells about what happened this past week each time you communicated respectfully. Write down what you said, how you said it, and how you listened, and how members of your family responded. 2. Play Simon Says with your family members. During the game the students should obey "Simon" only if he uses respectful communication when giving directions. Directions communicated disrespectfully are not to be obeyed. 3. Name the four pieces of the communication pie. (Words, tone of voice, body language, and listening skills.) 4. In preparation for this chapter, write down this definition for the word appea...

Epilogue

Pride only breeds quarrels, but wisdom is  found in those who take advice.  Proverbs 13:10   WHEN AND HOW TO GO AND GET HELP As we learned in studying the slippery slope, there are three basic ways that you can respond to conflict. You can escape, you can attack, or you can work out your differences in a way that will glorify God. We learned many things that can help you resolve conflicts in a way that pleases the Lord. We have discussed: How you can stay on top of the slippery slope rather than slip into the escape or attack zones. (See blog entries for WEEK 3.) What conflict is and where it comes from. (See blog entries for WEEK 4.) The fact that your choices may cause or prevent most of your conflicts, and that you will receive either good or bad consequences depending on the choices you make. (See blog entries for WEEK 5.) How your conflicts give you an opportunity to glorify God by the way you treat other people. (See blog entries for WEEK 8.) The importance of makin...
