KIDS’ CHOIR
 
Kids’ Choir will be singing “Trust and Obey,” our hymn of the month, during the morning worship service THIS COMING SUNDAY, November 1st!
 
 Kid’s choir will be each Wednesday night during the 7pm service. We will be focusing on the “Hymn of the Month” and Christmas music.  This year, we will not be doing a Children’s Christmas Cantata, but we will be learning three different Christmas songs.  One will be performed with the Adult Choir during the adult Christmas cantatas (evening of December 13th),  and the other 2 will be performed during the morning service on December 13th.
 
SUNDAY SCHOOL
 
Unit Title: God the Covenant-Maker
Key Passage: Romans 4:3
Session Title: The Promise Reaffirmed
Bible Passage: Romans 4:3
Main Point: God reminded Abraham’s family that He always keeps His promises.
Big Picture Question: What did God promise? God made a covenant to bless His people.
Christ Connection: God’s wonderful plan to Abraham extended well beyond his lifetime. The plan
was shared with Rebekah, Isaac, Jacob, and eventually an entire nation leading to the birth of a
baby boy named Jesus. Jesus fulfilled God’s plan to provide salvation and redemption for all of
God’s people.
 
Thank you for continuing this journey of The Gospel Project® for Kids. In His covenant with Abraham, God promised land, descendants, and a blessing to all the nations of the earth. (Gen. 22:17-18) In today’s Bible story, God reaffirmed the promise to Abraham’s son Isaac and to his grandson Jacob. (Gen. 26:3-4; 28:13-14)
 
When Isaac’s wife, Rebekah, became pregnant with twins, the babies struggled with each other inside her. God explained their future. The older son (Esau) would serve the younger (Jacob). Their families would separate and become two nations, one stronger than the other. These things came true, but not in the way Isaac’s family would have expected. Jacob tricked his father and brother to steal the blessing. To escape his brother’s anger, Jacob fled to his uncle’s house.
 
On the way, God spoke to Jacob in a dream. Jacob saw a stairway to heaven, and he saw God there. God repeated the promise to Jacob. He promised to be with Jacob. Explain to your kids that, like the stairway in Jacob’s dream, Jesus bridges the gap between heaven and earth. (See John 1:51.) Jesus came into the world to save sinners. Sin separates people from God, but when people turn from their sin and trust in Jesus, Jesus brings them into God’s family.
