God's Great Covenant Session 1: God's Power

Today was our first day home for summer vacation and I was so excited to start a new series with the kids that will take us all the way until they go back to school. (maybe even longer!) It's a study on the Old Testament, called "God's Great Covenant."
Today's lesson was about creation and about Elohim, "the mighty God." We discussed how powerful God is and how he created the entire universe with His spoken word. We discussed the meaning of "omnipotent," the trinity and even "Ex nihilo" (meaning "out of nothing"). The kids loved finding things around the house that were powerful and as we plugged them in we talked about the power of God.
I will post another one of our "God's Great Covenant" discussions and activities for you to adapt to your own home if you so desire, but the main idea is to let you know that there are a lot of resources available for a variety of ages... and some free to you on the internet! The summer is a great time to change up your morning devotions a little bit and have some fun discovering the Bible in depth!
