Dear Children,
The Bible story this week is about Abraham. He
trusted God with all his heart and was willing to do anything God required. Also
in this story we see the unselfish attitude of this great man. We want the
children to learn to act in an unselfish way and be willing to put others
before themselves just as Abraham did.
Abraham
* One day God told Abram to move to a new land. He took his wife Sarai and also his nephew Lot and went to the
* Abram and
* God changed Abram's name to Abraham and his wife's name to Sarah. God
promised to bless Abraham and give him a big family.
* One day three men came to see Abraham and promised him that he and
Sarah would soon have a son, even though he was 100 years old and Sarah was 90
years old.
* Isaac was born just as they had promised. One day God commanded
Abraham to offer Isaac as a sacrifice. God did not want Isaac to die, but he
was testing Abraham. An angel saved the life of Isaac.
The story of Abraham can be found in the Bible in
the book of Genesis, chapters 13, 18, 21 and 22
