The Story of Ruth (Part 4)
Wait Upon The LORD

The Story of Ruth Part 4
Open Lesson Plan → Open Handout →

What does it mean to wait upon the Lord? Has God really called believers to wait patiently for His timing, and if so, how do we stand firm in faith? In this study, we explore Ruth's patient trust as God's plans unfold. God never asks us to do anything that He will not make provisions for us to succeed[cite: 46]!

Psalm 27:14: “Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.”[cite: 46]

Psalm 25:21: “Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee.”[cite: 46]

Psalm 40:1: “I waited patiently for The Lord; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry.”[cite: 46]

GOD Bless You All. : )[cite: 46]

Moses: The Golden Calf
By Lisa DeVinney

Moses: The Golden Calf
Open Lesson Plan → Open Handout → More Grade 3–6 Lessons →

Last week, we took a careful look at the Ten Commandments: what each one said, and how we can apply them to our lives, today[cite: 46]. This week, we’re going to see that Moses brought these laws down to the Israelites, then went back up Mount Sinai for further instruction from God[cite: 46]. And while he was gone, the Children of Israel began to doubt Moses, and his leadership[cite: 46]. So they made for themselves another god to worship[cite: 46]. This time, God’s and Moses’ patience was pushed to the limit, and there were dire consequences for the Israelites[cite: 46].

Memory Verse: “Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;” — Ephesians 6:6[cite: 46]

Exodus 24:7: “All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient.”[cite: 46]
Exodus 32:1a: “And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us;”[cite: 46]
Exodus 32:34b: “...behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.”[cite: 46]

Devotional Poem: A Choice[cite: 46]

“Thou shalt not” was soon forgotten[cite: 46]
By the nation God had begotten[cite: 46].
But His love and mercy flowed,[cite: 46]
As ‘twas grace that God bestowed[cite: 46].
Still, the time comes... we must choose:[cite: 46]
God’s life to gain, or ours to lose[cite: 46].

Open Lesson Plan → Open Handout →

Opening Prayer: May we gather together today and appreciate everything God has blessed us with — giving thanks to Him alone for all things[cite: 46].

Discussion Questions:[cite: 46]
  1. What word is repeated in the first verse of today's Bible reading[cite: 46]? (rejoice)[cite: 46]
  2. Have you prayed a prayer of thanks to God today[cite: 46]?
  3. What are some things right now that you can thank Him for[cite: 46]? Take turns mentioning some of them out loud with the group[cite: 46].
  4. From the Bible reading — who are we told to go to with our requests[cite: 46]? (Verse 6)[cite: 46]
  5. Do you have a prayer request right now to bring to God[cite: 46]?
Writing & Drawing Activity:[cite: 46]

Have the children take the time to write a "I Am Thankful To God For..." list of all they can possibly think of[cite: 46]. For those who prefer to express their praise and thanks to God in drawing form, tell them to fill up their drawings with all the things they can think of with which God has blessed them[cite: 46]!
