Review:
Old Testament- what’s included. (history, law, prophets) Cycle – of sinful
people…God’s design-
Law-
those who followed God, those who ignored Him, didn’t hear His Word, etc.
Prophets
and their role, those who followed/honored God, and worshipped him (and how-
psalms, song, sacrifice, service, teaching, obedience…)

Review
the cycle that develops in the OT:
God
promises/blesses, man obeys, but then forgets, or disobeys- God sends BIG
signs (fire, His glory, temple,…) but man forgets—OT ends with God silent

I printed
and made three sets of the bible characters from our OT lessons. So they can think about who fits under each
question--
It may be
that we tell them the answers- it may be that they have great memories-- but
the idea is to grasp that WE don't remember what God expects of us? We can't
live under the law? we fail and the OT shows that people are broken by sin....
and God knows that the law won't work.
My plan
is to:
explain God's circle--
explain God's circle--
ask the
kids to remind me- what types of books are in the OT. (History, Law, Prophets)
Ask them
why does God give us His WORD as History? (so we learn from others mistakes and
successes), law? (because He is holy, and can't be in the presence of sin- a sacrifice
needed to be made- and this explains the standard)? What are prophets?
Why did He send them? What did they tell people?
Then say-
we met a bunch of people in the OT - I am going to split you into groups and as
we review- can you show us the character and be ready to tell the group- how
this person lived?
Which people struggled to
trust/believe/wait for God? How?
When did people praise
God?
When did people forget
God?
What were the people to
remember? (God's plan, directions, rules) How well did they remember it?
What hints of Jesus were
given in the OT? by who?
What did the prophets say
or do to get people to remember that a new King was coming?

We saw in the OT stories- men of God- do this- Abraham,
Moses, King David, … often worship was done with an offering or sacrifice to
God. Other times it was by serving God
and honoring Him, or praising Him in Psalms.
To worship God- you must know Him- and Jesus modeled this by meeting
with men who knew God well and His Word, and learning/talking with them about
Who He is. (we can do that, Jesus showed
he was human in this way, but also showed he was God with His understanding and
amazing the men with his knowledge!)
Old vs. New https://www.biblefunforkids.com/2016/01/old-law-vs-new-law-interactive-bulletin.html#more
Just talk about the Old Covenant- the law- and sabbath
worship, 10 commandments, tithe,…
So a
stronger connection to sin- disobedience cycle while God wanted to bless, love,
redeem His people. And He knew and planned to send His Son- to
create a new covenant (different from Noah, Abrahams, Moses, ...)
