    Uploaded by

    This document provides a lesson plan on the patriarchs - Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The key points are that the patriarchs had faith in God's promises despite not being perfect people, and through their faith and trust in God, His promises were fulfilled. The lesson teaches that Abraham believed God's promise of many descendants despite being old, and that all the patriarchs made mistakes but still believed God would fulfill His promises through them. Children are encouraged to have faith in God and Jesus, as the patriarchs did, to receive salvation and righteousness, not by being good but by believing in God.

    Lesson 07
    Topic: Patriarchs (Faith in God’s plans)
    Key points:
     The patriarchs are the early fathers (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob) to whom God gave His
    promises
     They were not special people but they had faith in God’s promises
     So, God fulfilled His promises through them as they trusted God

    Key bible verses (get children to read!) and Explaining the lesson to Children
     God calls Abram and gives him a promise (Gen: 12:1-3)
    God chose Abram (he was later named Abraham) and said that He will ‘make him in to a great
    nation’. Now Abraham was an old man, his wife Sarah was also barren, but he believed in God
    that he will give him a son (Gen 15:4-5). Abraham left his father’s household and left for
    Canaan because he believed God. God made Abraham a righteous person because of his faith
    in God (Gen 15:6).
     Abraham also made mistakes and he was not perfect (Gen 12: 14-20)
    Abraham was afraid although God had given him a promise that he will live to have a son. But
    he was afraid and lied to Pharaoh about his wife. But God made sure that Abraham and Sarah
    were safe. In the same way Isaac and Jacob also made mistakes. Isaac disregarded God’s
    selection and tried to bless Esau. Jacob was a deceiver and he tricked both his brother and his
    father.
     All patriarchs believed in God
    Although they made many mistakes, they believed that God will fulfil His promises. Through
    Abraham, came Isaac the son promised to him. From Isaac came Jacob the father of Israel. His
    sons became the 12 tribes of Israel. From Israel came the Messiah or Jesus who would one day
    give His life for the sins of the world. This is how God used the patriarchs to bless all nations
    just like he promised to Abraham in Gen 12.

    Application (How can children apply this to their lives)


     We know that Abraham was made righteous because he believed God. In the same was if
    anyone believes God who sent His son Jesus to die for our sins will receive salvation. God will
    make you righteous if you believe His word. (Gal 3: 26-29)
     Do not think that you cannot come to God because you have done wrong things in your life.
    No one is perfect. This was true of the patriarchs and this is true of us. What we have to do is
    believe that Jesus was God’s son, sent by God to die for our sins. If we repent form our sins
    and as Jesus to forgive us our sins, He will keep His promise (1 John 1: 9)
     There is no other way to be saved. You can never be saved by trying to be good on your own
    (Acts 4:12), but rather trust Jesus (Romans 10:9)

    Contemporary topics:
    God also promised to Abraham that He will give his offspring, that means Israel, the land of
    Canaan as an eternal inheritance (see Gen 15:18 and Psalms 105: 8-11). This is an unconditional

    promise. Jews also disobeyed God many times but


    God will keep His promise. The nation of Israel we
    see today was reformed after almost 1900 years after
    it was destroyed by Romans in A.D. 70. We live in
    amazing times.

    Abraham believed in God’s promises. He was from Ur of the Chaldeans. This area was full of idol
    worship. But when God called Abraham he left his father’s household and followed God in
    obedience.

    We will also receive righteousness if we believe in God just like Abraham.
