Big Picture Question: Who can keep God’s law? No one can keep God’s law perfectly except Jesus
 
This week, our journey through the Bible using The Gospel Project ® for Kids focused on
Moses’ farewell reminder to the people of Israel about God’s covenant and His
faithfulness to them. Moses called on the people to be holy and obey only God. If they
did this, they would be blessed. If they did not, they would not be blessed.
Help your kids understand that proper obedience is born out of gratitude to God for what
He has done, not as a way to earn God’s favor.

Big Picture Question: Who can keep God’s law? No one can keep God’s law perfectly except Jesus
 
Dear Parents,
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 God that saved them. God provided the perfect, final Sacrifice His
Son, Jesus to redeem people from sin once and for all.
Help your kids realize that Jesus it the ultimate and perfect Sacrifice and salvation is
found in Him alone.

○ People make wrong choices. People do not obey God.
○ God gave His people rules for worshiping Him.

○ God provided a way to forgive His people.

○ Because God is holy, God requires a sacrifice for sin.

Bible Passage: Exodus 20:12-17
Main Point: God gave us rules to help us know how to love Him and others.
Big Picture Question: Who can keep God’s law? No one can keep God’s law perfectly except Jesus
 
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. Loving others is something we should want to do out of gratitude to
God, who loved us when we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8)
