Welcome to Term 2 of Sunday School. We trust that you have had a restful break and that you're feeling refreshed.
This week we are exploring Abraham and his faith. God called Abraham to rise up with his family, to leave his home and to move to a place that was unknown to Abraham and his family. Some of the points we will cover are:
- Abraham and his entire family left their homeland, Ur, and travelled to Haran, about 600 miles over desert lands.
- Ur was a thriving city and archeological evidence suggests that Ur's civilisation was far advanced - equal to that of Babylon 1,000 years later.
- Abraham and his family left Ur without any idea of where they were going. God did not provide a map!
Abrahams' relationship with God deepened in such a way that when God made promises to Abraham, he knew without a doubt that God would deliver on His promises!!
We want to encourage our young people to have the same kind of faith that Abraham had when he blindly trusted God. When God places a calling on our lives, we can trust Him to go with us ... all the way!
The memory verse this week is found in Hebrews 11:8 -
By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went
If you have anything you wish to discuss, please do not hesitate to talk to either of us.
God bless you,
Melanie and Heather
