Children's Bible Class
Teachers
Lesson Summary
The class began by comparing human plans with God’s perfect plan, emphasizing that while our schemes often fail, God’s promises are sure and unfailing. Lori traced God’s redemptive blueprint from creation, through the patriarchs, Moses, the judges, and the kings, showing how each person and event contributed to the overarching promise of a Savior. She highlighted the role of the prophets, especially Malachi, who foretold a forerunner to the Messiah, linking that prophecy to John the Baptist’s preparation for Jesus. Continuing into the New Testament, the lesson reviewed Jesus’ birth, ministry, miracles, teachings, and the pivotal events of His death, resurrection, and ascension—all presented as the fulfillment of the long‑awaited promise. The class celebrated how the study of Scripture reveals a beautiful, cohesive story where God’s plan never wavered, encouraging the children to trust in God’s faithful purpose for their own lives.
Key Scriptures
See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with utter destruction.
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.
