Unwrapped Lessons Overview:
MEMORY VERSE:
“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come to his people and redeemed them.” Luke 1:68 (NIV)
Lessons:
The Promise
Scripture: Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 9:6-7, Hosea 11:1, Micah 5:2
Gift to Unwrap: Scrolls (Scrolls can be made with dowels or paper towel rolls and long rolls of paper. )This week we will unwrap scrolls and to talk about the prophets’ predictions about the Messiah. Jesus’ birth was no accident, God had planned every detail and gave us written proof to remind us that God is in control and his promises can be trusted.
Objective: Kids will learn that Jesus is the Messiah God promised to send.
The Human
Scripture: Luke 2:1-7
Gift to Unwrap: Baby diapers/baby suppliesThe baby supplies and diapers remind us that Jesus is/was 100% human. He became one of us so that He could love, teach, and save us. We can know that anything we suffer, Jesus knows what we feel like, because he’s felt that same pain.
Objective: Kids will learn that God knows how we feel because He became human.
The Threat
Scripture: Matthew 2:13-16
Gift to Unwrap: Flashing Red Light (or other warning sign)This week’s Bible story exposes Herod’s fear of a new king. We all have kingdoms. Our kingdoms are made up of everything around us that we can control; our things, our choices, our time… Just like Herod, Jesus threatens our kingdoms. He desires for us to follow His ways, and to subject our lives to His authority. Many people reject Jesus today for the same reason that Herod did. He threatens our ability to rule our own lives.
Objective: Kids will learn that following Jesus means surrendering our lives to him.
The Savior
Scripture: Luke 2:8-10, Matthew 2:1-2
Gift to Unwrap: Inflatable Globe (or picture of globe)The Shepherds were outsiders because of their vocations and lifestyles; living with animals in the fields. They were considered ceremonially unclean, and looked down upon by most people. The Magi were outsiders as well. They were foreigners who practiced divination of the stars, and would not have been allowed into the home of a “good” Jewish person. But all were invited because Jesus came for everyone.
Objective: Kids will learn that Jesus’ forgiveness is for everyone who will believe.
