lesson cont...

Do you ever feel like that - like you just can’t do anything right? Do you ever feel like you get in trouble all the time? Maybe you don’t want to do bad things, but you do anyway?

Israel had messed up in every way possible, but God still wanted a relationship with them, and He was willing to help them fix things. Even when we mess up constantly, over and over, God can bring restoration.

What does “restoration” mean?

When God restores you, He’s helping you be better. If you felt close to God and then you messed up, God helps you to be close to Him again.

Come together and sit in a circle to talk about what they learned today. Ask them the same questions that you asked at the beginning of the day. How are their answers different now that they know more? Talk about what they can go home and tell their family. This is also a time they can update their journals (big kids only) or color the pictures (littles).
Ask if anyone has a prayer request/praise report. Pray over requests.
