AWANA December 19

We take time off from our chronological study of the Bible to celebrate Christmas this week.  This week’s story is all about Jesus’ birth. When God sent Jesus to earth, He was born of a virgin, fulfilling Isaiah’s prophecy.

 

As you celebrate, recount for your kids the joyous news the shepherds shared. Help your kids understand the importance of sharing that wonderful news with others. Talk about the humble beginnings of our Savior, Jesus. Pray with your family, thanking God for sending His Son, Jesus, to be the Savior of the world.

AWANA December 12 - Unit 3 Lesson 5

This week we will continue the two-part story looking at Joseph. Joseph had come to a position of power in Egypt, and there was a famine throughout the world. Joseph had plenty of food, and people came to him for it. When Joseph’s brothers arrived for food, Joseph recognized them and tested them to see if their hearts had changed.

Joseph determined that God had used the evil intent of his brothers to bring about His glory and Joseph’s good. Joseph revealed his identity to his brothers, and Jacob and his family moved from Israel to Egypt.

Joseph recognized that though his brothers intended evil, God planned his circumstances for good to establish a remnant of God’s people (Genesis 45:7). Likewise, although those who crucified Jesus intended evil, God’s plan for the sacrifice of His Son was for the good of all people. Through Jesus’ death on the cross, God again saved a remnant of people.

AWANA December 5 - Unit 3 Lesson 4

This week we start a two-part story looking at Joseph, a son of Jacob. Joseph’s father favored him above all of his other sons. Their relationship bred contempt and jealousy among his siblings. Joseph’s brothers threw him into a pit.

Before long, Joseph’s brothers had a plan. They pulled Joseph out of the pit to sell him into slavery. Joseph traveled to Egypt and became a servant in the home of a prominent Egyptian named Potiphar. Accused of a crime he did not commit, Joseph spent the next several years in prison. God was watching out for him though; Joseph excelled and was released from prison after God gave him the ability to interpret one of Pharaoh’s dreams.

Because of the interpretation of Pharaoh’s dream, Joseph rose to be the second highest ruler in the country. He built silos to house grain and administered the distribution of food during a time of famine.

God was with Joseph, and He blessed him. Joseph rose to his position as God’s instrument to protect his family and many others from starvation. Jesus gave up His position of great power in order to bring salvation to people. Christ’s life, death, and resurrection made a way to provide salvation from spiritual death, the penalty for sin.

AWANA November 28 - Unit 3 Lesson 3

This week in The Gospel Project for Kids, kids will hear a story about what happens when God changes someone’s heart. Jacob, you may remember, didn’t start off very well. He was a lying deceiver who looked out only for his own interests. Nevertheless, God changed Jacob through quite a challenging circumstance. 

Jacob separated from his brother and lived away for 20 years. During that time he had a family—a very large family! God compelled Jacob to return to his hometown in order to see Esau. Jacob learned that Esau was coming but that he had a large contingent of men with him. Jacob sent his family ahead of him and camped by a river.

During the night, Jacob wrestled with an angel who turned out to be God. In that meeting with God, God changed Jacob. In the morning, Jacob crossed the river. Instead of hiding behind his family in case Esau’s approaching group attacked, Jacob led his family to what was a glorious reunion. 

Jacob’s meeting with God changed his life as reflected in his new name, Israel. Jesus came so that we might have a changed life, forgiven of sin (2 Cor. 5:17). Jesus’ death and resurrection provided sinful people with the way to be adopted into God’s family. When we are adopted into the family of God, we also receive a new name—children of God (John 1:12).

AWANA November 14 - Unit 3 Lesson 2

We will continue our journey through God’s story by learning about a little sibling rivalry. Any child with a sibling can attest to the struggles that sometimes plague this special relationship. Jacob and Esau were no different. Jacob’s name means “deceiver" or "heel grabber,” an apt description of who and what he was. 

Esau despised his birthright in favor of some tasty stew that Jacob was making. The birthright was an important right in Hebrew culture, and for Esau to look on it with disdain was contrary to all that it was designed to do. Jacob took advantage of his brother and secured for himself a better familial position. 

Jacob is a perfect example of why people need a Savior. He tricked his father into blessing him instead of his brother. Jacob lied and was a devious manipulator to gain something that wasn’t rightfully his. Like Jacob, we seek a birthright and a blessing that don’t belong to us, but we can’t lie, cheat, or deceive in order to gain it. Instead, Jesus shared His birthright and blessing with us when He paid for our sins on the cross and gave us His righteousness.

AWANA November 7 - Unit 3 Lesson 1

In the next installment of God’s story, we will learn that God’s plan that beginning with Abraham extended far beyond his lifetime. When Isaac grew up, he started a family of his own. Isaac’s wife, Rebekah, had twin boys, Jacob and Esau. 

Today’s story is about the promise God gave Abraham. Abraham passed the knowledge of the promise to Isaac, who told the promise to his son, Jacob. In order to reaffirm the promise, God gave the promise to both Isaac and Jacob.

God’s plan didn’t stop with the promise He gave to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The promise was extended to Jacob’s descendants—and ultimately to 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.

AWANA October 24 - Unit 2 Session 3

God’s story will continue this week with the story of God testing Abraham. Imagine being Abraham, trusted in old age with the son God had promised. Now God instructs you to offer your son as a sacrifice. What would go through your mind? The sacrifice of a child was not common among God’s followers, but Abraham obeyed God. 

Think about your children. Not only was Abraham obedient to God, Isaac was obedient to his father, likely not knowing what was happening but trusting that his father knew what was best. Isaac was willing and ready to do what his father asked him to do. 

God provided a ram as a sacrifice instead of Isaac. This story is a clear depiction of what God was willing to do when He sent Jesus as the sacrifice for the sins of mankind. Jesus was willing to do what was necessary for God’s plan to succeed. God spared Isaac by providing a substitute. Likewise, we need a perfect substitute for our sin; that substitute is Jesus.

AWANA October 17 - Unit 2 Lesson 2

This week in AWANA, we will hear the story of Abraham’s sons! 

Abraham and Sarah took into their own hands the fulfillment of God’s promise to bring a son into the world. God, as always, did not need their help—only their faithfulness.

God fulfilled His promise to Abraham, but only in His timing, not Abraham's. Isaac was the hope of Abraham and Sarah for a future. The ultimate fulfillment of God’s promise to Abraham is the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus is the hope of the world for salvation and redemption.

AWANA October 10 - Unit 2 Lesson 1

This week the kids will learn that when sin entered the world, God already had a plan to provide a Savior. God’s plan to provide a redeemer for His people began through the person of Abraham.

God called Abraham to move away from his home and land to a place that God Himself would show him. Abraham obeyed and God would use Abraham to bless all people, even you and me. Abraham had much faith in the promise God had given him, and God credited Abraham’s faith as righteousness.

Kids will hear that all people are sinners, but through the family of Abraham, God sent His Son Jesus, who never sinned, to bring salvation to God’s people. Boys and girls will learn that through the family of Abraham, Jesus was born.

How Does God Want Us to Pray?

Every Night and Day...

He wants us to obey in everything!

Scripture Verse: Psalm 61:1

“Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer.

In addition to Psalm 61:1, we will look in Matthew 6 what is commonly referred to as the Lord's Prayer.

“This, then, is how you should pray:

‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on

earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also

have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil

one.’

We are going to discuss the Lord's Prayer and how each aspect of the P.R.A.Y. acronym is found in it.

Praise: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name

Repent: Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

Ask: Give us today our daily bread. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the

evil one.’

Yield: your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

How Does God Want Us to Pray?

Every Night and Day...

He wants us to ask Him to do great things!

God’s people ask Him to do many things. They ask Him to help them honor Him in how they live. They want Him to help them obey His laws so that when other people see how they live, they will praise God. They want Him to help them tell others about the wonderful things He has done. God’s people also ask Him to take care of their needs and worries. Every day there are many things they need. Sometimes they are worried or scared about things. They tell God about them all. They know He delights to take care of His people. They also ask God to help other people. They pray for God’s people that He would help them. They pray for God to save people who don’t trust in Jesus as their Savior. God’s people pray for everyone, even people who are mean to them. God’s people ask God to do many great things. They know that He is a very great God. Nothing is too hard for Him to do.

Scripture Verse: Psalm 17:6

“I call on you, O God, for you will answer me; give ear to me and hear my prayer.”

God’s people call on God every day. He is their Heavenly Father who wants to give them what they need! They ask Him to do great things and they know that He will always answer their prayers in the best way, for He is perfectly wise and good.

How Does God Want Us to Pray?

Every Night and Day...

He wants us to confess our sins!

One thing God’s people do when they pray is confess their sins. Confessing sins means thinking of how we have disobeyed God and saying sorry to God. God wants us to think about how we’ve disobeyed Him in our hearts, like when we stay very mad at someone and won’t forgive them. He wants us to think about how we’ve disobeyed Him with our words, like when we say mean things to someone. He wants us to think about how we’ve disobeyed Him with things we have done, liking hitting someone. When we say sorry to God for these things and ask Him to help us to stop doing these things, God forgives us. When Jesus died on the cross, He took God’s forever punishment for all of His people’s sins. Anyone who trusts in Jesus as their Savior has God’s promise that He will forgive their sins --every single one of them. Isn’t that good news!

Scripture Verse: Psalm 32:5

“I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity... and you forgave the guilt of my sin.”

When we acknowledge our sins to God, it means we confess we did them. It’s easy to want to cover up our iniquities --that is our sins. We don’t like them and we don’t want to think about them. But our Bible verse tells us that God’s people confess their sins to God, instead of covering them up. And what does God do then? He forgives them! That’s very good news!

How Does God Want Us to Pray?

Every Night and Day...

He wants us to praise Him!

Prayer is talking to God and listening to Him. Prayer is a little taste of the forever happiness God’s people will have with Him in heaven. One thing God’s people do when they pray is to praise God. This means that they think about what God is like and they tell Him how wonderful He is. God’s people praise God for being their Maker. They praise Him for being all powerful and all loving. They praise Him for knowing everything and using all their sadness for good. They praise Him for being holy. Most of all, they praise Him for being their Savior. In heaven, God’s people will praise God forever and ever. They will never run out of ways to praise Him.

Scripture Verse: Psalm 103:1

“Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being praise His holy name. Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.”

God’s people adore and praise God from their souls. That means, they love God in their hearts so much that they tell God and tell others just how wonderful He is. What do God’s people praise Him for? They praise Him for being holy: perfectly good and so very great! And, they praise Him for all His benefits. That is, they praise Him for all the good gifts He has given to them as their kind and loving Heavenly Father. Every day God’s people have so much to praise God for!

by making much of God!

We love to make a big deal about many things. Birthdays and Christmas. Learning to ride a bike or how to read. We even make a big deal of beautiful things, like soft, fl uff y snow and colorful rainbows. God’s people like to make a big deal about these things, too. But do you know who God’s people like to make a big deal about most of all? The very same person Jesus made a big deal about: God! Just like Jesus, God’s people want others to know how good and loving and powerful God is. They want others to know of His wonderful gift of being saved through Jesus. They want everything in their lives to show others just how amazing God is. Why? Because God is most wonderful of all. And, because that’s what Jesus did.

Scripture Verse: Psalm 66:1-3

¹ Shout with joy to God, all the earth!

² Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious!

³ Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!

God’s people love to make a big deal about God! He has been so good to them! They like to shout with joy! They like to sing and tell others what great things God has done! God’s deeds are so awesome! Especially in sending Jesus to save them from their sins. God’s people want to tell others what he has done for them!

How Should God’s People Live Each Day?

They Should Live Like Jesus...

by loving other people as God has loved them!

Jesus loved others with God’s great, amazing love. He loved His enemies and did good to them, even when they hurt Him. He saw people in need and helped them. Jesus loved God’s people most of all, by even dying for them on the cross. He took all of their forever punishment for their sins. Why? So that they could have special closeness with God. And, so they could live happily with God forever. How great is Jesus’ love for people! Jesus wants God’s people to love other people with God’s great, amazing love, too. He wants them to be kind to their enemies and pray for them. He wants them to help people in need. He wants them to tell others how they can be saved and become God’s people, too. He wants them to love each other with a love that puts others first. God’s people need help to live like this. The Holy Spirit works in their hearts to help them to love others like Jesus has loved them: with God’s great, amazing love!

1 Corinthians 13:4-5

“...live a life of love, just as Christ loved us...”

Sometimes it is easy to love people. But sometimes it is very hard! God wants His people to keep loving others even when it is hard. God’s Word tells us what that kind of love looks like. It is being patient when someone is taking a long time with their turn. It is saying something kind to someone when you want to say something mean to them. It is being happy with what you have instead of wanting what someone else has. It is not boasting about your new toy that might be better than your friends. It is being happy to hear the truth and unhappy when something bad happens. And it never stops loving others. Love like this is very hard. God’s people need God’s help to love this way!

How Should God's People Live Each Day?
They Should Live Like Jesus...
by telling the good news of Jesus!

Jesus traveled many places telling others how they could become God's people. He told them to turn away from disobeying God and trust in Him as their Savior. After Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead, He told His disciples that they should go to every part of the world to tell others about Him. Jesus wanted people everywhere to know how they can become God's people. He wanted people everywhere to have special closeness with God. Jesus was sending God's people to tell them how they could have these wonderful things by trusting in Him as their Savior. Jesus's followers obeyed Him. They traveled farther and farther away from their homes so people everywhere could hear about Jesus. People in more and more places have heard about Jesus, but even now there are still many people who haven't heard. Jesus still wants His people to keep going to every part of the world until everyone has heard about Him. He promises that the Holy Spirit will help them know what to say and how to say it. He promises that He will give them courage to speak. Best of all, He promises to work in the hearts of God's people that they will hear the good news and believe!

Scripture Verse - Mark 16:15
"Jesus said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.'"

Jesus told His people to go out into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. He wants His people to tell everyone the good news of salvation by saying sorry to God and trusting in Him as their Savior!

How Should God’s People Live Each Day?

They Should Live Like Jesus...

by saying no to disobeying God!

All of God’s people are tempted to disobey God. They love God and want to obey Him. They have the Holy Spirit living in their hearts. But sin is still very strong in their hearts, too. Sometimes it is very, very hard to say “no” to disobeying God. It was hard for Jesus, too. God wants His people to do what Jesus did when He was tempted. Jesus prayed to God His Father to help Him. He remembered God’s Word and it made Him strong to say “no” to disobeying God. God helped Jesus never to disobey Him. And God promises to help His people to do what is right when they are tempted, too. When we trust Jesus as our Savior, we can know that He will help us, too.

Scripture Verse: 1 Corinthians 10:13

“No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful: he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted he’ll also provide a way out so you can stand up under it.”

What’s a temptation? It’s thinking about doing something that God says is wrong! We are all tempted to do bad things. Sometimes it is very, very hard to say ‘no’ to temptation. But God’s people have these wonderful promises from God that He won’t give them too much temptation; and, He will even give them a way to say ‘no’ to temptation every single time! Isn’t God kind to His people! He helps them to live for Him!

by learning God’s Word and obeying it!

Jesus knew God’s Word very, very well, even when He was just a boy. It was very important that Jesus knew God’s Word so well. He had to obey every single bit of God’s Word, all the time, to be our Savior. He would need to God’s Word to fi ght temptation and comfort Him in hard and sad times. God’s people need to know God’s Word well, too. They need it to tell them how to live lives that please God. They need it to fi ght off temptation to disobey God. They need it to comfort them in hard and sad times. God promises that the Holy Spirit will work in the hearts of His people as they know and think about His Word. He will help them to live for God as God’s Word tells them to.

Scripture Verse: Psalm 119:11

“I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.”

Sometimes when we have something very special, we hide it in a special place to have it ready for us when we need it. God’s people learn God’s Word and keep it in their hearts. Why? So it will be ready to use to help them live for Him. God’s people know that God’s Word is very powerful. It can help them say ‘no’ to sin. It can help them know how to love God and love others.

Jesus loved God with all His heart. There was no one Jesus loved more than God. And Jesus didn’t just feel love in His heart for God. He lived it out. He obeyed God’s laws. He loved God by pleasing God with everything He did. He pleased God with the thoughts in His mind. He pleased God with every word that He said. He pleased God in everything that He did. God helps His people to love Him like that, too. He wants them to love Him more than anyone or anything else—just like Jesus did. He wants them to love Him by obeying Him—just like Jesus did. He promises to help them to love and obey Him more and more, by His Holy Spirit working inside their hearts.

Scripture Verse: Deuteronomy 6:4-5

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.”

Israel is the name of God’s special people long ago. God wanted them to love Him most of all. How could they do that? By loving Him with all their heart, all their soul and all their strength. God wants His people to do that today! That’s always the best way to love God most.

How Should God’s People Live Each Day?

They Should Live Like Jesus...

by asking God for His help!

When Jesus lived on earth, He asked God His Father for help to do everything He wanted Him to do. God wants His people to ask Him to help them, too. The Bible is filled with God’s promises to help them. God’s people can pray these promises for themselves. They can pray them for others, too. One of God’s best promises is to send the Holy Spirit to keep working in His people’s hearts. The Holy Spirit helps them know what God wants them to do. He makes them strong and brave to do it. God is faithful. He will always help His people to live like Jesus—every single day.

Concept 1 Scripture Verse: Hebrews 4:16

“Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”

Long ago, a king used sit on a big special chair called a throne. When people wanted to talk to the king, they would come before his big chair to talk to him. God is the King over everything. That means He is the one in charge. He loves for His people to ask Him for help. When they pray to Him, it’s like coming before His throne --His big King chair. God’s people don’t have to be scared to come before Him. They can come with confidence before Him, because Jesus is their Savior. They know He will help them to love Him and live for Him.

Additional Scripture for Sparks and T&Ts: 2 Corinthians 3:18

“We, who….reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.”

The Holy Spirit lives within the hearts of God’s people. He helps them want to love and please God. Every day, the Holy Spirit is at work inside them to make them more and more like Jesus in how they think, speak and act—and less and less disobedient and rebellious. None of God’s people will ever be perfect here on earth, but God by the power of His Holy Spirit is transforming them bit by bit, for their good and His glory. This is how God helps them to live for Him on earth and prepares them to live with Him in heaven.
