CCW Kids Weekly Update

Hey parents! Take a look at what we're learning this weekend as we end our BIGinnings series:

Abram and Lot (Genesis 12–15)

Brite Idea: God is in control. 

Monthly Big Question (Preschool): Who made everything and rules over everything? God! 

God made a covenant with Abram and told him to leave his country and travel to a new place. Abram left and took his nephew Lot. After a while, there wasn’t enough room for both Abram’s and Lot’s flocks and herds. Abram let Lot pick which land to take. Lot took what appeared to be the best land for himself, but God reminded Abram of His promise. Lot ended up in trouble, but Abram rescued him.

Abram knew God was good and He would always keep His promises. Abram knew he could trust God no matter what. Trusting in God’s goodness, Abram showed grace to Lot by seeking him out and rescuing him, even though it was Lot’s own fault that he was captured. We are also in a mess that is our own fault. Our sin traps us and keeps us from having a relationship with God. Part of God’s promise to Abraham was that one day all of the nations would be blessed by his family. Hundreds of years later, God would send His Rescuer, Jesus, to seek us out and rescue us even though we don’t deserve it. 

Monthly Memory Verse: By Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth…all things were created through Him and for Him. (Colossians 1:16)
