Cain Rebels against God


If you don't have a copy of this quarter's family ministry guide, you can download it at www.emmanuelbaptist.com/familyministrybooklet.pdf or pick it up at the children's check in desk.  This week's activity suggestion is Plan a service project as a family or with another family.  After doing the project talk about attitudes and why we serve others, which connects with very well with the message Pastor Duke preached this morning.  
Is there a better way for adults and children to talk about showing God's love and doing it with a right attitude than actually doing something?
Two suggestions:  help a neighbor or help a shut-in of Emmanuel.

Date:  09.23
Title:  Cain Rebels against God
Passage:  Genesis 4:1–15
Principle:  God will punish sinful attitudes and actions.
Praise:  “Nothing but the Blood of Jesus”
Prompt:  Ask your child these questions:
  -  What offerings did Cain and Abel bring to God
  -  How did God respond to the two offerings?
Practice: Help your child apply these truths in the following ways:
  -  By repenting from sin
  -  By serving the Lord with gladness.
Memory verse: 
2 years through pre-kindergarten
Genesis 1:27 - So God created man in His own image… male and female He created them 
Kindergarten through 5th grade
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
