During Sunday School this morning, all our children from two years-old to fifth grade are learning about Abraham from The Biggest Story Bible Storybook curriculum, from the lesson “Let’s Make a Deal (No Ishmael)” on Genesis 15 and 17 about God’s covenant with Abram. The focus verse for the week is Genesis 15:6, “He (Abraham) believed the LORD, and he counted it to him as righteousness.” If you sit near a family with young children, please take a moment to ask the children to share what they learned in Sunday School with you! | | |
