Unit 2, Session 3: (B-PK) God Made People; (K) Adam and Eve Chose

K: After Adam and Eve, everybody has sinned. Sin keeps us from God, but it won’t keep God from us. He loves us anyway, and He promised that someone from Eve’s family would take away sin. God sent His Son, Jesus, to rescue people from sin and bring them back to God.

Unit 3, Session 3: A Widow’s Oil Multiplied
God provided everything the Widow, Elijah, and her son needed, and God has provided everything we could possible need. He gave us the greatest gift—His own Son. Jesus gave everything He had—even His very own life—to save us from sin. Because of Jesus, we can be kind and giving to others.
