Main Focus: God Is the Lord of the Sabbath
(Sabbath--Matthew 12:1-14)
Anticipate: From the Heart
Today, in The Big God Story, we will learn that God is the Lord of the Sabbath. He is in charge and cares about what is in our hearts. He wants us to keep Him first in our hearts. Are we keeping Him first or are we so busy trying to follow each and every rule, which we will ultimately fall short on? God wants us to have hearts that desire Him at all times, not just through outward actions to simply obey rules.

Game: "Ring In If You Know"
Memory Verse:
"Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." --John 17:3
During God's creation, He worked for 6 days and dedicated one day for rest. Of course, God is never tired, but God did this to show His people what's best for us. God wants His people to set apart a day (Sabbath) so we can not only rest our bodies, but also love and honor Him. However, during Jesus' day, the religious leaders added rules upon God's laws without consulting God. They made the laws complicated to follow and led people away from God's heart. Jesus, the Son of God, fully understands His Father's heart. Jesus answered the religious leaders by asking them to think about what's important to God and what will honor God. Jesus reminded them that God desires "mercy more than sacrifices". He cares about our heart conditions and our desires to honor Him more than man-made laws and mere outward behaviors.
RESPOND: Prayer Bottle
We take the Sabbath to show we trust God and worship Him as Lord. One way to keep the Sabbath is to set aside time to remember and celebrate who God is by talking with God through prayer. This prayer bottle can help children remember to set aside time to talk with God each
day.

Bless:
May our children know the One who rules over everything. May their words and their hearts honor the Lord of the Sabbath.
