Going For the Gold

Module Overview

This summer module teaches two lessons from scripture that incorporate gold to teach about what is truly valuable. In the first lesson, Peter and John share Jesus with the lame man who is begging for money at the temple. Children will begin to understand how God also wants them to help those who are in need. The second lesson is about how the nation of Israel disobeyed God by worshiping a golden calf instead of worshiping Him. They will learn that we should only worship our God and not things.
