08 - The Lord’s Visit to Abraham

Introduction:

Have you ever had visitors come to your house? Were you happy? Do you like to have your friends come and play with you at your house? Learn to welcome our visitors and learn that nothing is impossible for God.

Lesson Outline:

Abraham and Sarah loved God very much. They were very old in age and had no children. They always wanted a child, but now they were too old. On one hot day, Abraham was sitting outdoors under a tree. He saw three men coming near. He was very happy he had visitors. He welcomed them and invited them to stay for dinner. He ran and told Sarah to get things ready. They made them the best dinner and were very nice to their visitors. While they were eating, they told Abraham something surprising, “Sarah will have a baby next year.” These visitors were the Lord Himself with two angels. At first, Sarah could not believe the news and laughed, but they said to her: “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” God kept His promise and Sarah had a baby boy. They named him Isaac and Sarah was very happy with a big smile on her face. She said out of joy “God has made me laugh.” (Gen. 21:6). We should always be happy when visitors come to our house, just like Abraham and Sarah. When visitors come to our home, we should share our toys, play with them, and be very friendly. We have to make sure our guests are happy at our house. Jesus will be very pleased when we do that and we will receive a blessing as if Jesus Himself visited us. We should also remember that God can do anything for us. Nothing is hard for Him, but He gives us what we need at the right time because He loves us. 

Memory Verse:

“Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son.”” Genesis 18:14

Father Abraham had many sons

[Yell "right arm, left arm, right leg, left leg" and move all, as if marching.]

[Yell "right arm, left arm, right leg, left leg, chin up" and move all, as if marching.]

[Yell "right arm, left arm, right leg, left leg, chin up, turn around" and move all, as if marching.]

[Yell "right arm, left arm, right leg, left leg, chin up, turn around, sit down" and move all, as if marching. Sit down at the end.]
