This Week’s Bible Story

The people rebuilt the temple (Ezra 2-6). God’s people rebuilt the temple so they would have a place to worship God. Years later, God sent His Son, Jesus, to be with His people. Now, God does not dwell with His people through the temple. Instead, God dwells directly with His people through His Spirit. Jesus provided something better than the temple; He gives us Himself.

Bible Story + Prayer

9:15-9:25 11:15-11:25

Use the Story Cards provided to tell the Bible story to the kids in your group, pausing along the way to ask questions and get the kids engaged. (Optional: Use the storytelling tips below to make the story more engaging.)

Hammer away: Lead children to pretend to hammer something, as if they are helping to build the temple, whenever the word “temple” is said.

Identify happy and sad: Guide the children to identify happy (celebrating, completing the temple) and sad (crying, stopping the work) moments in the story. Tell them to make happy faces during the happy moments and sad faces during the sad moments.

This month we’re focusing on the big idea that God made me. Teach kids the motions below and practice together.

God (point to the sky)

made (cup your hands like you’re forming a ball of clay)

me (point to yourself)

Invite kids to pray by repeating after you.
