Ladder to Heaven
Our lesson this week is called "Ladder to Heaven," or "Jacob's Ladder."
The first time reading the story in The Young Learner's Bible Storybook we will stand up/crouch down each time the words "up" and "down" are used.
Then, we'll make a web on the board of where God was in Jacob's dream and story, and then we'll brainstorm where we know God is today.
I created an activity sheet you can find in my free OT bundle where my kiddos will draw or write place we know God is today. I suspect the list will include "my heart," "hospitals," "at home," "at church," "at school," etc.

August 2: God's People Become Great
Last week we learned that Joseph, who was sold into slavery by his brothers, actually saved Abraham's entire family. Joseph was in charge of the food during a great famine, when there was no food available for those who hadn't saved up.
Joseph invited his brothers and their families to live with him in Egypt. Let's read what happens next.
Read part 6 of The Big Picture Story Bible about Jacob's family of 70 moving to Egypt, and how over the course of 400 years the Egyptians began hating them.
Why did the promised family go down to Egypt?
What does this story add to what we know about God's promise? (God had promised Abraham that his family would be God's People and they would live in God's place. God wants to bless all the people).
While part of the promise is being held up, that God's people keep growing bigger and bigger, they did not yet have their own land. They became slaves in Egypt and were forced to work for the evil Pharaoh.
How did God take care of His people? What job did He give Moses? Did the Pharaoh listen?
What did God do to make Pharaoh listen to His word?
We read today about 9 of the plagues God sent on the people of Egypt: God made the river turn to blood, the entire land swarmed with frogs, the dust turned into gnats, God made the houses full of flies, the animals of Egypt got sick and died, and the people got painful sores on their bodies. Then, God made hail fall from the sky, locusts covered the ground, and then darkness spread out over the land.
Students will make a booklet outlining the plagues, then predict what will finally happen to help His people escape.
Can you imagine watching those things happen!? Would you rather be an Egyptian, or one of God's people?
Many people respect Moses for listening to God. Sometimes God calls us to do things and we might feel nervous or afraid, but if we trust in Him like God's people trusted in Him back then, we can be sure everything will turn out favorably. God loves us and wants to bless us, just like He wanted to bless His people long ago. We are all God's people!

July 26: God's People Grow
After reviewing the last 4 weeks, read "part 5" of The Big Picture Story Bible. I started out by giving each child a coloring page of Joseph. I explained that the this story begins when his dad, Jacob, gave him a coat of many colors. I encouraged the kids to color the picture while I listed several reasons Joseph's brothers hated him, before beginning the story.
After reading, we discussed what happened.
What did Joseph's brothers do to him? Why? Was Joseph alone in Egypt? Who was with him?
How did God take care of Joseph? Why do you think God made Joseph a helper to the Egyptians?
When Joseph's brothers came for food, how did he respond?
What parts of God's promise to Abraham can we see in this story?
If Joseph had chosen to be spiteful to his brothers and turn away their request, God's promise to Abraham could have ended right there. He would've had his revenge on his brothers, but would have (unknowingly) lost God's blessing for the family to become great. God's people kept growing!
Do you think Egypt will be the promised land for Abraham's family?
