The Object Lesson:

The Shapes


Memory Verse:

2 Corinthians 6:18 ESV

and I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.”
Bible Lesson:

Psalm 139 (A Father in Heaven, Our Maker Knows All About Us)

It can be a great comfort to know we have a father at home who loves us and will do all they can to make sure we have what we need. They protect us and they provide for us. More than all of this we have a father in Heaven. God the Father loves you. He wants the best for you and more than that He knows everything about you. He is your maker and Psalm 139 goes to great depths in showing this. Maybe you do not have an earthy father, or maybe yours has failed you in some way. The heavenly Father will never fail, nor forsake you. Even though he knows every bad thing you have every done, and may ever do... He still chooses to love you.

You are not a Whatchamachalit - The Whatchamachalit Lesson #Kidmin



The Main Point:
Whatchamachalit - Jacob wrestles changes name - You are not a Whatchamachalit
 
Lollipop's Fact Check:
 

The Object Lesson:

The Jacob Card Trick


Memory Verse:

The man asked him, “What is your name?” “Jacob,” he answered. Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”
     -Genesis 32:27-28 (NIV)
Bible Lesson:

Genesis 32:22-32 (Jacob wrestles God and his name is changed)

We all know our names. We make like them... We may hate them. I even know people who use their middle name instead of their first, or they even go by a nickname instead of their actual name. Names can mean a bunch to us, but did you know God does not want you to be a Whatchamacallit! He wants you to have a name, something people will know you by. Often in the past peoples names meant who they were. Jacob, a liar. Esau, Hairy. What does your name mean? It may mean something awesome, or it could mean something you don't like. It does not matter though because God has a name which will fit perfectly with you, just like with Jacob's name changing to Israel. There may be a wrestling match to go through, but you will learn who you are in seeking God!
