1th – 5th C.C. Notes on A Very Necessary Gift Lesson

This lesson is very similar to the sermon preached in the morning service.

The text is Romans 5:12 - 19 and the memory verse is Romans 5:19.

Here is what the kids did in Children's Church 

this morning.

Here are a couple of things you can talk to your 1th – 5th grader about.  Actually you can talk with all the kids about these things.

Gifts

• Talk with the kids about gifts.
• Gifts that you were very excited about receiving.
• Gifts that you were not sure what they were when you received them.
• Gifts that you were not excited about at first but then grew to love.
• Gifts that were necessary.  (Clothes, school supplies)
• The difference between gifts you want and gifts you need.

SOME of the sin problems between Adam and Moses (this is a review of what we have studied in children's church since September):

• What is the sin problem in Genesis 3, the Fall of Man?  Not believing and doing what God said “Don’t eat from the one tree.”
• What is the sin problem in Genesis 4, Cain and Abel?  Killing someone.
• What is the sin problem in Genesis 6?  Evil thoughts and intentions (Gen. 6:6)
• What is the sin problem is Genesis 11, the Tower of Babel?  Making a name for themselves instead of God.  (Gen. 11:4)  Being more concerned about themselves than God.
• What is the sin problem in Job?  The problem here is the death and suffering that is in the world because of sin.

TWO BIG IDEAS:

• We sin because we are sinners.
• There are a lot of things you want.  There are a lot of things you think you need.  There is only one thing that is VERY NECESSARY – JESUS.

An activity you can do is a scavenger hunt related to the sin study

• Fruit – genesis 3
• Fruit and meat – genesis 4
• boat or animal  – Genesis 6
• Building block – Genesis 11
• Mask, band-aid, other objects that show sickness, suffering – the book of Job
