Who is in control of everything? God is in control of everything in heaven and on earth. Nothing is outside of God’s good plan.
We’ve been hearing about God’s solution for sin, which He promised in Eden. God’s plan became clearer when God made a covenant with Abraham. He promised to bring the Rescuer through Abraham’s family. Abraham’s family struggled with the challenges and consequences of sin. Through it all, God was faithful. Nothing could stop His plan.
Last time, we saw that God changed Jacob. He made Jacob’s name Israel. Jacob’s future family would form the nation of Israel, and the people would be called Israelites. Jacob’s family grew through his sons. There were 12: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin. Out of all of his sons, Jacob loved Joseph the most.
Let’s talk about the lesson with our Older Kids Journal page.
Let’s apply the lesson with our Activity page for Preschoolers, Younger Kids or Older Kids.
Let’s apply the lesson with this Joseph’s coat craft . Alternative ideas: cut colorful pieces of paper and glue to hand-drawn shirt.
Let’s apply the lesson with this Care for People activity: Create a care bag for someone who may feel alone or who may be suffering. Decorate a paper bag with markers and write an encouraging note. Fill the bag with various care items like toiletries, hard candy, puzzle, books, etc. Make your delivery to the person’s home or give away at church.
