Romans 9 - Prayer for Israelites to be Saved

Lesson: Prayer for Israelites to be saved
Scripture: Romans 9:1-10:4

Lesson #1
Jesus in the Old Testament – Teach kids that Jesus was introduced in the Old Testament. That’s how Jews knew to look for him and believe in him when Jesus came to earth.

Jesus born at Bethlehem
Micah 5:2
Matthew 2:1

Gifts brought to Jesus at his birth
Psalm 72:10
Isaiah 60:6
Matthew 2:1, 11

Holy Spirit was with Jesus
Isaiah 11:2
Matthew 3:16-17

John the Baptist prepared the way
Isaiah 40:3
Matthew 3:1-2

Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey
Zechariah 9:9
Luke 19:35-36

Healing of the sick
Isaiah 35:5
Matthew 8:14, 9:36

Born of a virgin
Isaiah 7:14
Luke 1:34

Resurrection of Jesus
Psalm 16:10
Luke 24:2

When I have taught this lesson, I had prepared the list of these prophesies and written them down on individual sheets of paper. Then, I read the OT scripture, and had the kids tell me which part of Jesus’s life the OT scripture discussed. Then I put each on the top of a page and let the kids illustrate each for a class book.

Lesson #2
Discuss prayer and law – all point to Jesus.
The Jews didn’t see Jesus when he came.

Worksheet “Faith” - glue glitter or pompoms or Cheerios on it
Faith written in large letters with definition underneath in smaller letters
Faith definition – Trusting and believing God.

Faith word cards –
Cut apart the word faith, written in large-ish letters.
Give each child a set of letters.
Practice spelling Faith several times
Glue letters in order on WS with the faith definition written on the bottom.

Romans 7, The Law of Sin

Lesson: The Law of Sin
Scripture: Romans 7

Lesson #1
Based on verse 21,18b
Wanting to do good/being bad
Discuss time you were tempted
Define temptation
Discuss making choices and consequences of actions
Give examples of scenarios – let the kids decide what’s right and wrong and what the consequences might be.

Make necklace of verse 21

Idea #2

This idea came from Holly. Thanks for sharing!

Romans 5, Grace Reigns

Lesson: Grace Reigns
Scripture: Romans 5

Lesson #1
Based on verse 8
WS cross with Romans 5:8 at bottom.
Add tear paper or
paint it or
draw lines like a puzzle with verse written on cross to glue on.


Lesson #2
Based on verses 12-21
Make a T-chart: Adam brought. . . /Christ brought. . .
Sin, life, death, grace, condemnation, justification, gift
of righteousness, death for all, life for all, etc.
It might be easier to have these answers prepared on separate sheets so the kids can point to what Adam brought and what Christ brought.
Have a kid sized worksheet of the same thing – 8.5 x 11 with t-chart on it. Strips have same words as the teacher chart. Kids glue word strips on t-chart under appropriate heading and take home.

Lesson #3
Based on verse 10
Enemies of God
God sent his son to save us, even when we were his enemies.
Name enemies of yours
Jesus helps us to be friends with God.

Prayer lesson

This is a generic lesson, teaching kids how to pray and why we pray. It can be used in any number of situations, so I am posting it seperately.


Prayer
Make prayer posters – I can pray when? I can pray where? I can pray about? Teacher makes the poster, and gives the kids ½ sheet of paper to let the kids illustrate the answers to these questions.

Make door hangers – “Quiet please. I’m praying.” (Or something along those lines.) Allow the kids to write the sentences and color or add stickers to door hangers. Discuss how we pray to God and why.
