Obedience (a children's ministry lesson) by Marisol Cabrera

This was a lesson that our youngest daughter Marisol put together to share with the children in Sunday School today, Sunday, Jan. 20. we decided to post it and share it with you.

Who knows what obedience is? Obedience is doing what your parents, whoever is in charge or even God tells you to do. Obedience is also doing it with a happy heart and not with a grumpy or angry heart. You should also do it right away when you are told. I’m going to tell you a story.

There were two boys. One named Kojo and the other one named Ebenezer. One day Kojo’s father told him to get some wood to make fire. Kojo didn’t want to so he didn’t do it right away. Instead he went to play with his friends. When he came back he got the wood but his heart was very angry so he decided only to get a little bit of wood. Was kojo obedient?

On the same day kojo’s friend Ebenezer was also told to get wood. So he ran right away and got enough firewood to cook his supper. Because Ebenezer did it right away he had a lot of time to go play with his brother. Was Ebenezer obedient? Jesus wants us to obey whoever is in charge including Him. We are going to draw a picture of us obeying our parents.
