Cain and Abel (09.27): Several different preparation helps!

This week's memory verses:

2 years old through kindergarten:

John 10:10b:  

I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

CONNECTION TO LESSON:

God created man to have a right relationship with Him.  Man’s sin broke that relationship.  Jesus came to restore our relationship with God.

1^st through 5^th grade: 

Psalm 73:26

My flesh and my heart may fail,

but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

CONNECTION TO LESSON:We are weak and sinful.  God is strong and powerful.

Here are some thoughts for the 1st - 5th grade verses:

Quick Review:
God created everything.  We should submit to Him
God created man and women in His image.  We should show the world who He is.
God judges man's sin.  God judges sin.

In today's lesson remind kids that God wants your heart and you must submit to Him.
I heard a sermon that said "You come to Jesus to get Jesus."
When talking to kids about submission and salvation, remember the end goal is a right relationship with God.  Not heaven or happiness in this life.  Those are fruit of a right relationship.

Practical applications:
How long does it take you to repent?
Are you desiring to bring honor to God?
