(66)  What is the name of the very first book? (Genesis)  We’ve been reading some amazing stories in the Bible together. Who remembers a Bible story we’ve read? (creation, Adam & Eve, Noah, Abraham, Baby Moses)  Rules  Today we will talk about rules. What rules do you have in your house? (children share)  What rules do you have at school? (children share)  Why do we obey rules? (children share)  God wants us to obey rules. When we obey the rules, we show God we love him.  What do these rules tell us? (show the children the picture signs & talk about the what the sign tells us to do).  The Bible tells us about God’s rules. It is important for everyone to read the Bible and come to church to learn about God’s rules. God’s rules are very important and we must obey God.  Moses & The 10 Commandments.  Last week that we learned about Baby Moses. Baby Moses’ story is from the Bible in the book of Exodus. Can you say Exodus? (children repeat) Who remembers the Baby Moses story? (Moses was an Israelite born in Egypt, the Pharaoh was mean and wanted to get rid of all of the Israelite baby boys, Moses mommy wanted to keep him safe so she put him in a basket and floated him down the Nile River, God kept Moses safe).  Moses grew up to be a very important man because he loved God and obeyed God. God made him the leader of all God’s people. Moses led the people out of Egypt when they were in danger and got them to safety. God told Moses to take his people to special new home. They had to walk a long way. They walked around for 40 years! One day they camped near a mountain called Mount Sinai and God gave Moses his special 10 rules. Let’s read the story from the Bible (Read from the Bible in your Class Basket).  Did you hear all the special rules that God gave Moses? They did not have notebook paper like we do today, so God wrote the rules on stone tablets, similar to big flat rocks. God told Moses to go tell all the people about these 10 special rules. Moses obeyed God.  One very special rule on the list is for children: Obey your mommy and daddy. We must choose to obey even if we do not want to or feel like it. When we obey our parents, we are obeying God. How do we obey our parents? (children share) Let’s Review - What was the man’s name in our story today? (Moses). - What did God give Moses on the mountain? (God’s rules). - How many rules did God give Moses? (10). Practice counting to 10. - What did God tell Moses to do with the rules? (tell the people). - What is one special rule for children? (obey parents). - Do we only obey God’s rules when we feel like or want to? (No, we obey always). - Let’s all count to 10 and say, “I will obey God’s 10 rules” (children shout). Page 2
