Our goal this week was for your children to understand that trust and obedience go hand in hand, especially when it comes to obeying God. We show that we trust God by being obedient.
In Bible storise by the campfire, we told the story of the calling of Moses found in Exodus chapters 3 and 4.
The story begins with God speaking to Moses from within a burning bush. God gives Moses the task of returning to Egypt to free the Israelites from slavery. God gives Moses signs to show that He will help Moses in his task. Moses trusts God and obeys Him by going to Egypt.
During our large group skit, your children were introduced to the characters Cookie the cook and Tex the cowboy. Tex had just gotten a job on a cattle drive and was having a lot of doubts about himself and the task ahead. Cookie encouraged him to trust in the trail boss because he will give him the help he needs. He also encouraged Tex to obey the trail boss by coming along on the drive.
It is important for your children to understand how you are being obedient to God in the same way. It isn’t enough to simply say that your trust. You show that trust by actually obeying. Discuss with your children ways you are obedient to God each day.
Our Bible story, skit and every activity in our small group time was geared toward teaching your children that the way we show our trust in God is by being obedient to Him and to those in authority over us.
