Story
Say:
Today’s story is found
in the Old Testament of the bible. Raise
your hand if you have heard of the 10 Commandments. Today’s story is about how God gave the 10 Commandments
to his people through Moses.
Read “The Ten
Commandments” in any children's story bible
Lesson
Say: Why do you think, “You shall have
no other gods before me" is the first commandment? (God wants us to put Him above all
things. Before our toys, TV, even before our friends.) What is an idol? (Anything that keeps you from
spending time with God.) “Honor
your father and Mother" must be important because it too is on the list.
Why? (Parents want
what is best for their children, so they teach and guide them. Children are
still learning and really don't know everything yet.)
The Ten
Commandments are hard to follow.
Everyone has
failed one time or another. However, the 10 Commandments are a gift and
not a burden. God gave us the 10
Commandments so we can have a better relationship with God through them. Keeping the 10 Commadments is not what makes
us Christians. What makes us Christians
is placing our faith in Jesus. Through Jesus, our sins are forgiven. Because He
died on the cross for us, we have everlasting life with God. If you would
like to know more about that you talk to one us, your parents, or Pastor.
Big Idea
God
gave us the 10 Commandments so we can have a better relationship with God
through them.
Memory Verse
People judge by outward
appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” – 1 Samuel 16: 7
Prayer- Ask for Joys and Requests
Say a prayer thanking
God for loving us and for giving us the 10 Commandments.
