Cain and Abel: Brothers Offering

Possible Viewpont: Baptist Christian

Title: Cain and Abel: Brothers Offering

Bible Passage: Genesis 4:1-16

Lesson:

Introduction:
Today we are going to learn about two brothers, Cain and Abel, and the offerings they brought to God. Let’s see what we can learn from their story.

Story:
Cain and Abel were brothers. Cain was a farmer and Abel was a shepherd. One day, they both brought offerings to God. Abel brought the best of his flock as an offering, while Cain brought some of his crops. God was pleased with Abel’s offering, but not with Cain’s. This made Cain very angry.

God talked to Cain and told him that if he did what was right, he would be accepted. But instead of listening to God, Cain became even more angry and ended up doing something very wrong.

Discussion:
-Why do you think God was pleased with Abel’s offering but not Cain’s?
-What can we learn from Cain and Abel’s story?
-How can we make sure our offerings and actions are pleasing to God?

Key Points:
-It is important to give our best to God in everything we do.
-We should listen to God’s guidance and do what is right.
-We should not let jealousy or anger control our actions.

Prayer:
Dear God, help us to always give our best to you and to listen to your guidance. Help us to make choices that are pleasing to you. Amen.

Conclusion:
Just like Cain and Abel, we should always strive to do what is right and pleasing to God. Let’s remember to give our best in everything we do and to listen to God’s guidance.

Object Lesson

Title: Cain and Abel: Brothers Offering

Props Needed:
1. Two toy animals (one for Cain and one for Abel)
2. Two small baskets or containers to hold the toy animals
3. Two small pieces of paper labeled “Cain” and “Abel”
4. Play food items representing offerings (fruits, vegetables, etc.)
5. A small toy altar or table to place the offerings on

How to present the illustration:
1. Begin by introducing the story of Cain and Abel to the young children in a simple and engaging way, making sure to explain the concept of offering gifts to God.
2. Ask two children to come to the front and choose one toy animal each to represent Cain and Abel. Place the animals in their respective baskets with the labeled pieces of paper.
3. Show the children the play food items and explain that these will represent the offerings that Cain and Abel bring to God.
4. Have the children take turns placing their offerings on the toy altar/table, explaining their actions just as Cain and Abel would have offered their gifts to God.
5. Discuss with the children the importance of giving our best to God and how he values our offerings, just like in the story of Cain and Abel.

By using props and allowing the children to visually see and interact with the story, they can better understand the concept of offering gifts to God and learn the lesson of giving our best to him.

Craft Idea

Craft idea: Paper plate offering baskets

Supplies needed:
– Paper plates
– Colored markers
– Scissors
– Glue
– Ribbon or yarn

Instructions:
1. Have each child take a paper plate and decorate it with markers to make it look like a basket.
2. Once the baskets are decorated, help the children carefully cut slits around the edge of the paper plate to create a fringe effect.
3. Next, fold up the slits to make the sides of the basket.
4. Cut a piece of ribbon or yarn to make a handle for the basket and glue it onto the top edges of the basket.
5. Encourage the children to think about what they can offer to God, just like Cain and Abel did, and write or draw their offering on a small piece of paper to place inside their paper plate basket.
6. Close the basket by folding the sides down and securing it with glue if needed.
7. Finally, have the children share with the group what they have chosen to offer to God.

This craft activity gives children the opportunity to reflect on the story of Cain and Abel and think about what they can offer to God in their own lives.
