BUILDING A MOUNTAIN AND FLAT GROUND

Directions:
Lay out the piece of turf and give the kids the flowers to place on the turf. Then give the kids the mountain stackables. You may need to work with them to stack the mountains.  Have them take turns stacking the mountains.  Point out the mountains and the flat ground.

Say:
Did God help King Ahab? Yes! God helped King Ahab to win battles on mountains and on flat ground. God helped us too by sending Jesus to die for our sins. When we trust in Jesus, God forgives us, and we will live with Him forever.

WHISPER THE MESSAGE

Directions:
Let the kids know that you are going to whisper something so they have to be really quiet to listen to what you say.  Whisper one phrase at a time slowly and have the kids (who can talk) whisper it back.

Say: (WHISPER)
Jesus died for our sins
When we trust in Jesus
God forgives us
And we will live with Him forever!

King Ahab did not listen to God. Was that a good thing? No! We should listen to what God says to us. King Ahab lost the battle because he did not listen to God.

DELIVER A MESSAGE

Directions:
Give the kids papers and crayons.  Tell them they are going to write a message and then deliver it.  Once they are done “writing their message” help them put it in an envelope and then they can walk over and put it through the slot of the Cards Box.  (if they do a really cute job, you can always put this in their craft bag for their parents).

Say:
A prophet brought a message from God to King Ahab. Did King Ahab always listen to God? No, King Ahab did not always listen to what God was telling him to do. Can we listen to God? Yes, we can listen to and obey God too!

DECORATE A CROSS

Directions:
Give the kids sparkle circle stickers and help them put the stickers on their cross print out. Show them how to place the sticker inside the circle.

Say:
Who died on the cross for our sins? Yes, Jesus! Jesus died for our sins. When we trust in Jesus, we will live with Him forever.

BUILD A MOUNTAIN

Directions:
Invite the toddlers to build a mountain the wood blocks. Offer people figures to climb the mountain and shout “God helped us win the battle on the mountain!”  Then walk the people figures down the mountain and shout “God helped us win the battle on the flat ground!”

Say: 
God helped King Ahab win battles. Does God help us? Yes! God sent Jesus to die for our sins. When we trust in Jesus, God forgives us, and we will live with Him forever.
