Main Focus: God is Provider 
Abraham and Isaac (Genesis 18; 21-22)

Anticipate: Candy Shelter
In Genesis, God provided for Abraham and his household because Abraham was God's friend and God loved him.  In the hot regions of the middle east where Abraham was traveling, shelter was critical to their survival.  God provided Abraham with tents and today, God provides us with a roof over our heads.  God cares for our needs and He provides for us.

Game: Animal Drop

Memory Verse
" Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God."--Psalm 90:2

Abraham met with the Lord through the visitation of the 3 visitors.  These visitors brought great yet surprising news that God would provide old Abraham and worn out Sarah a baby boy. Nothing was too hard for God.  This prophecy came true the very next year.  
After a few years, God gave Abraham an unexpected command to sacrifice his one and only son on Mount Moriah.  In obedience, Abraham did as God said, still believing that God would provide.  Just as Abraham was about to sacrifice Isaac, his son, the angel of the LORD spoke to Abraham and stopped him for harming the boy.  At the moment, God provided a ram caught by the thorn nearby in place of Isaac as the sacrifice.  
2000 years later, on the same mountain, God sacrificed His one and only Son, Jesus.  This time, He did not spare His own Son for the sake of saving all nations.  God provides Jesus as the atoning sacrifice for everyone.  God is Provider.

Respond: God Provides Animals for Food
Out of God's great love, He promised Abraham that He would take care of Abraham's immediate household.  God still provides for believers today.  As children of God, we should help those around the world who are in need, too.  
Bless
Philippians 4:19
And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”
 May the Lord meet all the needs of our children according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus.  May the children know that God is their Provider.  God always takes care of each of us.  May the children trust in God's provision and follow Him wherever He leads them.
