Passover Children's Ministry Lesson

A feast to remember!

The Passover meal was a reminder to the Israelites of how God spared His people and saved them from slavery. God sent a terrible, final plague on the Egyptians to convince Pharaoh to set them free, but He protected His people. In many ways this special meal foreshadowed how God would one day save the whole world, not with the blood of a lamb but the blood of His Son.

Passover Lesson Overview:

MEMORY VERSE:

"Get rid of the old yeast. Be like a new batch of dough without yeast. That is what you really are, because Christ has been offered up for us. He is our Passover lamb." 1 Corinthians 5:7 (NIrV)

Lesson:

Objective: Kids will learn, "The Passover shows us how God saved us from sin."

On a terrible, tragic night in Egypt, God spared the children of Israel from a plague of death and set them free from slavery. The blood of the sacrificed lambs on the door was a preview of how God would one day set the world free from slavery to sin. God sent His Son Jesus to be the final sacrifice for our sins and save us from eternal death.

Scripture: Exodus 12:1-32, The First Passover

EACH LESSON INCLUDES:

• Make It Stick! Parent Sheet - so you can let mom and dad know what kids are learning each week and look like a rockstar teacher who's thought of everything.
• Memory Verse - so that you can make sure kids are getting Scripture in their minds and hearts every single week and you can feel like each lesson was a success even when it seems like 90% of your lesson time is spent saying things like "calm down", "let's be quiet", "hands to yourself!"
• Skit or Puppet Show - so you have a way to easily connect the lesson with your hands-on and visual learners. No drama team? No problem! Just hand the script to the kids. They'll have a blast and think you're the coolest.
• Craft Activity - so you can give kids a physical reminder of the Bible lesson (and give yourself an activity to keep them busy until mom and dad come back!)
• Game - so kids don't leave and say church was BORING! Games are so important to help keep kids engaged. Our large group games always include a "What's The Point" section to help you connect the game to the lesson.
• Large Group Lesson - so you can present the Bible story in a clear and fun way, which means now you can enjoy Saturday nights instead of stressing over putting a lesson together!
• Small-Group Discussion - so you can find out who was paying attention and who was talking to their neighbor.  Just kidding, this is a great way for you to build deeper relationships with your kiddos after each lesson, which means you're going to care about them so much you'll cry like a baby when they graduate and go to middle school :(
• More! - Yes, there is even more than all of that so that you can easily put together the perfect lesson for your ministry each weekend, which means no more agonizing over how to adjust complicated lesson plans.
