CURRENT LESSON God is Faithful January 19, 2020, 2020
God is Faithful
This week is a bit different than the other lessons. This week is about glorifying God and about encouraging all of you who are struggling. If you are not struggling now, someday when trials come, you can hopefully look back on this and know that your Father will bring you through. I think back about how God has moved in my life from the time I was born. His love is a shield in my life and has always been, especially in the hardest of times. For this lesson, God has placed upon my heart to share my testimony for His glory and to help those who may be suffering today. It is my prayer to show you the lessons God taught me in the darkest time of my life. Know that God is our deliverer, and GOD IS FAITHFUL.

Psalm 18:6 “In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: He heard my voice out of His temple, and my cry came before Him, even into His ears.” Psalm 18:9-10 “He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under His feet. 10. And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly: Yea, He did fly upon the wings of the wind.”
A note from the author:This week we’re beginning a new series on the life of Moses. I’m very excited about this new series, and hope you will be, too. I know that the Bible stories about Moses are very familiar to many. But one of the most exciting things about Scripture is that it’s “alive and powerful.” (Hebrews 4:12). And no matter how many times we read the same passage, if our hearts are open, there is always something new that The Lord can impress upon them. So join me, now, as we open up the book of Exodus. Come, expecting to learn something new each week. And be sure to encourage your students to do the same!
Opening comments/story:
This week, we’re beginning a new lesson series on the life of Moses. I know that many of you are familiar with the stories: the baby in the bulrushes, the burning bush, the plagues, and so on. But I would like to challenge you right from the start to remember that The Bible is God’s living Word! And if you come ready to hear God speak, He will have something new for you each and every week!
Can anyone think of another person (or people) from the Bible who were faced with tough decisions and chose to stand for God? (Allow the students to share examples that come to mind. And if time permits, briefly tell the story of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego as they chose not to eat the Babylonian king’s food – found in Daniel chapter 1. You can also use the story of Joseph’s choosing to get away from Potiphar’s wife, rather than giving in to temptation – Genesis 39.)
At the beginning of our lesson, we discussed some situations we might find ourselves in, where we might have to make choices that would or would not be pleasing to God. Let’s go back and look at our second example again, and consider how it applies to what happened with Moses in Midian…
Imagine you see a Christian friend being picked on by a group of non-Christians. Moses saw an group of shepherds chasing women away from a well where they were trying to water their flock. What might your choices be? Did Moses have those same choices?
Pretend you didn’t see them, and walk away.
Move close enough to hear and see what’s going on, hoping that they will stop if they see you coming.
Go get someone else to help your friend.
Go to where your friend is, and find a way to help.
I want to encourage each of you this week to be willing to choose God’s side, and stand up for what’s right. It often means you will be ridiculed and maybe picked on, yourself. But that is what Moses learned he needed to do. And that is what God would have us do. “Choose you this day whom ye will serve!”
If you have time, have the students play a game of Bible Tic-Tac-Toe. (Instructions for this game can be found in previous lessons. See lesson 13). Another game you can play to reinforce the lesson is to have the students each take a turn at drawing or acting out a scene from the lesson. The student to guess the right scene would be the next to take a turn. You can also offer small prizes for the first one to guess correctly.

Horizon Christian Fellowship - San Diego. - Lamentations 3:26,27 It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young. Dear brothers and sisters in Jesus,is it fair that we should know sorrow, pain and death? I think my answer would be,"it's not that we are supposed to experience death and pain. It's the wisdom that comes from knowing how good God is, despite our pain and sorrow. Because wisdom and understanding is way more valuable and worthwhile than all the pleasures that are marketed and pushed on us, and believing physical sex and substance abuse and pleasures that we are led to think is normal and real, are good for us. God is real and the sooner we get to know Him, the more peace we will have in the fire and turmoil. Then we can truly enjoy our lives whether in poverty or wealth. Peace or war. Beautiful or not beautiful.. 4/7/2011

4/14/10 More: Is it possible for someone to write a few paragraphs on how great I am? Or will it turn out to be, how great I was? If you ever get a thought in your spirit about something, some place, or someone, and you pray for that something, someplace, or somebody, you have done a great thing,and it's to God be the Glory. Gideon was a mighty man of valour. You are a mighty man or woman of valour too. No hype, no fanfare; just doing your duty.

This book views the New Testament within the Holy family, clarifying for the reader the time and place relationships among these events, most of which are often studied in isolation from each other in Bible studies. In this way, a reader may already know the stories of Lazarus, Jesus, Herod, etc. but may lack an integrated vision of how these events worked together in time and place. The book's interweaving of events, plus diligent detail in presenting culture and setting, will place a vivid memory of New and Old Testament events in the reader’s mind.
Your kids will delight in the timeless
tales of courage, faith & endurance with characters like Adam & Eve,
Noah, Moses, Abraham, Jesus of Nazareth, and the Apostles.
Our truly unique DVD's bring biblical stories and characters to
life. The Animated Kids Bible will cement their favorite biblical
stories and characters in their memories for all time, by first
entertaining them, and then helping them to develop deeper
understanding and knowledge. Click
