God Made a Covenant with Abraham
God promised to bless all the world through Abraham. God sent Jesus from His home in heaven to be born on earth into Abraham’s family. Through Jesus, all the nations of the earth are blessed because Jesus saves people from their sins.

Family Activities:
For Fun...
1. On a clear night, challenge your kids to count as many stars as they can. When they give up counting, talk about God’s promise to give Abraham as many descendants as the stars in the sky. God’s promise was to make Abraham’s family a blessing to the whole world. Remind your kids that this promise was fulfilled when Jesus—born into the family line of Abraham—came to offer forgiveness and salvation to anyone who believes in Him.
2. Help your kids find Matthew 1 in their Bibles. Look at the family line of Abraham and point out that it leads to Jesus, who came to save the world. Work with your kids to make a family tree going back as far as you are able. Brainstorm ways your family can bless your community through volunteer service and evangelism.
To Serve...
1. Volunteer with a local organization that supports foster and adoptive families. Collect donations, provide meals, or offer to babysit. After serving, read Galatians 3:29. Remind your kids that anyone who believes in Jesus Is adopted as a son or daughter of God and is included in all the promises God has made.
