Loving and Obeying God

Possible Viewpont: Evangelical Christian

Title: Loving and Obeying God

Introduction:
Hello, kids! Today, we’re going to learn about loving and obeying God. We’ll look at some special stories from the Bible, specifically from the book of Deuteronomy. This book has some wise messages from Moses, who was a great leader of God’s people. Let’s find out what these messages teach us about how we can show our love to God!

  1. Listening to God’s Commands:
    In Deuteronomy, Moses tells the people about the important things God wants them to do. He reminds them to listen carefully to God’s words. Just like when you listen to your parents or teachers, God wants us to pay attention to Him! He gives us rules because He loves us and wants what is best for us.

Question for Kids: What are some rules your parents or teachers give you? How do those rules help you?

  1. God’s Great Love:
    Moses reminds the people that God loves them very much. He has taken care of them and helped them through many difficult situations. God is like a loving parent who watches over us and wants us to be safe and happy. When we understand God’s love, it makes us want to obey Him because we trust that He knows what is best.

Activity Idea: Draw a picture of something you love about God. It could be how He helps you, how He loves you, or how He created the world!

  1. The Importance of Obedience:
    Moses tells the Israelites that obeying God’s commands is important. When we obey God, we show Him that we love Him. Imagine if you made a promise to your friend to share your toys. When you keep that promise, it shows your friend you care! God wants us to obey Him in the same way.

Question for Kids: Can you think of a time when you obeyed your parents? How did it make you feel?

  1. Remembering God’s Goodness:
    Moses encourages the people to remember all the amazing things God has done for them. He wants them to share these stories with their children and teach them about God’s goodness. Talking about God’s blessings helps us appreciate and love Him even more!

Activity Idea: Share a story with your family about something good God has done for you! It can be a answered prayer, a kind friend, or a beautiful day.

  1. Choosing to Love God:
    In the end, Moses reminds everyone to choose to love God with all their heart. Love is a choice! We can choose to spend time praying, reading the Bible, and helping others. Just like we choose to be kind to our friends, we can choose to love God every day.

Closing:
So, kids, let’s remember that loving and obeying God is important! We can listen to His words, share His goodness with others, and show our love through our actions. As we walk in obedience, we’ll feel closer to God, and He’ll continue to bless us. Let’s pray together, asking God to help us love and obey Him every day!

Prayer:
Dear God, thank You for loving us so much. Help us to listen to You and obey Your commands because we want to show our love for You. Thank You for all the wonderful things You do for us! Amen.

Props Needed:
1. A treasure chest (can be a small box or container)
2. Colorful paper hearts (representing love)
3. A map with simple drawings or symbols (representing God’s commandments)
4. Small toy figures or animals (to represent children)
5. A blindfold
6. Stickers or small treats (as rewards)
7. A blanket or cloth (to create a “path” for the activity)

Preparation:
– Place the treasure chest in a prominent location.
– Lay out the blanket or cloth in a path leading to the treasure chest.
– Scatter the colorful paper hearts along the path.
– Create the map with four simple drawings that illustrate key commandments (e.g., “Love your neighbor” – a picture of two kids holding hands, “Be kind” – a smiley face, etc.).

Presentation:
1. **Introduction**: Gather the children in a circle and ask them what it means to love and obey God. Briefly explain that in Deuteronomy, God gives us rules that help us understand how to love Him and others.

2. **The Treasure Hunt**:
– Tell the children they are going to go on a treasure hunt to discover what it means to love and obey God.
– Show them the treasure chest and explain that it symbolizes the wonderful gifts God has for us when we love and obey Him. You can remind them that God wants what is best for us!

3. **The Map of Commandments**:
– Show the map you’ve prepared and explain that it will guide them along the path to find the treasure. Mention how each drawing represents a way to love God and others. For example, “When we love our friends and help them, we show obedience to God.”

4. **Starting the Hunt**:
– Let the children know that they will need to follow instructions to reach the treasure. Scatter them along the path and place the paper hearts they need to collect as symbols of love (or actions they should practice).
– Use the blindfold on one child at a time to add a fun challenge! They will be guided by their friends to collect the hearts on their way to the treasure chest.

5. **Collecting Hearts**:
– As they find and collect hearts, encourage them to shout out ways they can love and obey God for each heart they pick up.

6. **Finding the Treasure**:
– Once all the hearts are collected and they reach the treasure chest, let them open it together. Inside, place stickers or small treats, explaining that these goodies represent the blessings we receive when we obey and love God.

7. **Wrap-Up Discussion**:
– Bring them back together and discuss how following God’s commandments leads to happiness. Reinforce the idea that just like in the treasure hunt, loving and obeying God brings us closer to Him and leads us to wonderful blessings.

8. **Closing Prayer**:
– Hold hands and thank God for His love and the commands He gives us. Ask for help to love others and to obey Him each day.

Craft Idea

Craft Title: “God’s Love & Our Obedience Mobile”

Objective: To help children visually understand the concept of loving and obeying God as taught in Deuteronomy 3:23 through 7:11.

Supplies Needed:
1. A large piece of sturdy cardboard or a foam board
2. Colorful construction paper (red, blue, green, yellow)
3. Scissors
4. Markers or crayons
5. String or yarn
6. Glue or tape
7. Hole punch
8. Stickers (optional)
9. Ruler
10. Pencil

Instructions:

1. **Prepare the Base**: Begin with the sturdy cardboard or foam board. Cut it into a large circle or a shape that represents a mobile, like a cloud or sun.

2. **Create the Love and Obedience Pieces**: Using the colorful construction paper, cut out small shapes such as hearts, stars, and arrows. Each shape will represent a different aspect of loving and obeying God. For example:
– Hearts can symbolize God’s love.
– Stars can represent our prayers and faith.
– Arrows can represent our commitment to obeying His commands.

3. **Decorate with Verses**: On each shape, use the markers or crayons to write a short phrase or verse that ties in with loving and obeying God. For instance:
– “Love God with all your heart” (Deuteronomy 6:5)
– “Obey His commandments” (Deuteronomy 6:6)
– “Trust in God always”

4. **Prepare the Mobile Structure**: Use the ruler to mark where you want to attach the shapes on the cardboard base. Once marked, use the hole punch to create holes at the top of each shape.

5. **Attach the Shapes**: Cut varying lengths of string or yarn. Tie one end through the hole in each shape, and then attach the other end to the base of the mobile using glue or tape. Space the shapes out evenly to create a balanced mobile.

6. **Add Final Touches**: Encourage the children to decorate the base of the mobile with stickers or additional drawings related to their lesson about loving and obeying God.

7. **Display the Mobile**: Once completed, hang the mobile in a visible area of your classroom or at home to remind the children of the importance of God’s love and their call to obedience.

8. **Reflection Discussion**: After completing the craft, hold a discussion about what they learned. Ask questions like:
– How can we show our love for God every day?
– Why is it important to obey His commandments?

This craft will not only be a fun activity but will also reinforce the lesson about loving and obeying God in a meaningful way.
