Weekly Scripture:
Genesis
1:26-2:25
Story:
“Adam and Eve”
Precept:
God wanted Adam and Eve to live, just as He wants us to have eternal life,
so He gives us commands to keep us spiritually alive, but He also gives us
the choice to obey or disobey.
Finding
Christ:
These two chapters are packed with types of Christ. See how many you can
find. Just one would be the Adam is referred to as the “first Adam”
and Jesus is referred to the “last Adam” according to 1 Corinthians
15.
Live
the Lesson:
Make up Dad or Mom to be a
robot! Have the kids help wrap and tape foil all around him! (Get out the
camera…you do not want to miss this.) Now give the robot some basic
commands and watch the robot comply and obey. Continue this and let the
kids join in giving him some basic commands. Have the robot add some drama
to get some laughs. Now go to the back of the robot. Take your screwdriver
and open up his head and put the “ability to choose” into his mind to
either obey or disobey you. Now give him some more commands in which he
complies. However, beforehand have it planned which thing the robot will
not obey. Such as if you are in the kitchen area (with a mop handy) you
could tell him to get a glass of water (make sure to use a plastic cup in
case this slips out of your hand). Tell the robot to drink the water. The
robot begins to comply, but shocks everybody when instead he tosses the
water on all of you!!! Explain to the kids how we too have the choice to
obey or to disobey all of God’s commands. When we choose to disobey, we
too will have a mess on our hands.
