God calls everyone, even people that we would least expect, to do his work. Students will act out their thoughts from the journal with puppets. Compare the way John Denver is called to the way Abraham is called. Write the answers on newsprint for younger children and have older students write them separately. Have the students divide into pairs and create a dialogue of their own between God and a character to act out with puppets.
Present puppet shows as time permits.
The covenant is an everlasting agreement between God and Israel. Through the people of Israel, God vowed to bless all the peoples of the earth. Israel vowed to worship and serve only God, and God vowed to love them and to be their hope forever. Although God judged the people when they sinned, God still loved them and remained faithful to them. Read the Bible Verse.
