This week is going to be so much fun! We are going to have a party!
Before the lesson be sure to read Revelations 1-11 and ponder on what it is teaching. You may feel inspired to summarize some of the main ideas you learn about in your study with your family. You’ll also want to prepare for the activities in this lesson ahead of time.
As a family read Revelation 3:20 while looking at the picture in the manual on page 193. Talk about ways you can invite Christ into your life, home, and heart.
Decorate your home for a birthday party. We’ve included a banner in your materials to use. Complete the invitation with a date (can be later that evening or another day of the week). Let each child write how they will invite Christ into their lives. You can talk about it as a family and make a poster to hang up next to the banner.
Now it’s time to party! Color the party hats to wear during the party and complete the cupcake craft. You can color the cupcake or use paint or glitter.
Light candles, sing Happy Birthday to Jesus and eat cake and ice cream as a fun way to celebrate Christ’s birth.
Your lesson bundle also includes paper bracelets for the kids to wear all week to remember to invite Christ into our lives.
See our summary page for a bonus idea on how to play hide and seek. with these cute lambs. Be sure to talk about how Christ cares about each of us as you play.

By the time the Israelites had their third king, the nation split into two groups: the 10 tribes in the north, forming the Kingdom of Israel, and the remaining two tribes in the south, forming the Kingdom of Judah. The Lord called a mighty prophet, Elijah, to remind His people of their true King: Jehovah (Jesus Christ). Elijah testified to the people that their idol worship was taking them farther away from God.
Going from tabernacle to temple was a big deal for the Israelites. So big, in fact, that even those building the temple had to be worthy of the task. David’s sin in his lust for Bathsheba disqualified him to build the Lord’s house, resulting in his son Solomon completing it. For building the temple with a pure heart, the Lord promised Solomon that so long as he kept the commandments, “I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people” (1 Kings 6:13).
The story of David versus Goliath teaches many important principles, with one being that if we try our best and have real faith in God, He will help us make the most of our efforts. Though an army was present and he was offered the king’s armor, David brought his sling and his belief that the Lord would prevail through him. It was enough: “the Lord saveth not with sword and spear” (1 Samuel 17:47) but with trust and hope.
