El Shaddai  - God is Almighty

5-11s | Sunday 10th May 2020

Bible Story.  Genesis 17 God promises Abram children

Main Teaching Point(s) 

God revealed his nature to Abram (Abraham) he revealed he was mighty so that Abram would know he could make his descendants like the stars – wow! 

One of God’s names is Mighty/Almighty.  He is stronger and more powerful that anything else.  He is able to do amazing miracles so that Abram and Sarah could have children even though they are very old. 

What mighty things would you like him to do in your life?

Teaching

As well as the bit on Abraham in Genesis 17 – you might like to look up some more verses.

Psalm 46 describes God as almighty and as a fortress if you remember from a few weeks ago.

Psalm 84 is another fabulous Psalm! 

Revelation 1 v8 

Activity 

Make a timeline of the major events in Abraham’s life – there are some mentioned in Hebrews 11 if you want some pointers.

Activity

As a family, what is the heaviest thing each of you can pick up? It will be different for each one of you! (Don’t hurt yourself though!) 

Try doing this everyday this week and see if you get stronger as the week goes on. So, if you can lift up 5 big books, by the end of the week can you lift up 6 big books?!

God wants us to grow stronger with Him too all the time. 

Activity 

Like Sam did in the video today make and colour a star and write a miracle on it that you want the Almighty El Shaddai God to do.  Pray for the miracle everyday if you can.
