BIG TRUTH: THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD
BIBLE VERSE: DEUTERONOMY 6:4
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.”
BIG IDEAS
- God is one. There is only one God. There are no other gods.
- There is no being like God. He is the most powerful, smartest, controlling force in existence.
- Since there is only one God, He is the most important being—past, present, and future.
Kids
Work together to create cookies in the shape of animals, such as cows. Talk with your child about how the Israelites made a fake god in the shape of a calf, but that the calf was not really a god. Only God is the true God.
Students
Ponder: Read and meditate on Exodus 32-33 this week. As you read these verses and think about them, ask yourself a few of these questions:
- Ponder how you can share your own struggle with idols and false gods to help your son or daughter recognize their own.
- Do I have idols in my heart? How can I remove the idols in my heart?
- What are some of the false gods I see my son or daughter seeking after? How can I lead them to recognize they are false gods?
- How can I lead my son or daughter to worship the one true God with their daily lives?
Check out some tips to teach and talk through this series!
