Dear Parents, We hope the following summary of the Sunday School lesson will help you in discussing the lesson with your children and working through this booklet together. SCRIPTURE PASSAGE: Nehemiah 1:2-2:10

Ezra & Nehemiah

BIBLE STORY SUMMARY: Nehemiah met with some men who came from Jerusalem with news that the walls to the city had been broken down, and the gates burned so that they had no protection from the people around them. Nehemiah was very sad so he mourned and fasted, and prayed about what to do. When he prayed he remembered God’s promises and Israel’s unfaithfulness. At great risk to himself, he let the needs of his people be known to the king, and the king granted his wish to go to Jerusalem to repair the walls, and provide for his journey and materials for the work. LESSON FOCUS:  We need to be sad for the things that make God sad.  When God calls us to do something for Him, He also provides the things to make it happen.

Broken For Jerusalem

 We are a part of God’s plan—He does His work through people. WHAT WE LEARNED ABOUT GOD:  God loves His people and wants to provide for htem.  God does His work through people; He does not usually do things directly Himself. RESPONSE:  It is easy to be indifferent to the suffering of our world and those around us. We need to see the world with God’s perspective and then live our lives accordingly. When prompted by the Holy Spirit, we need to let our live for God show through the attitude and actions of our heart.

This Week’s Memory Verse: I remember the days of long ago; I meditate on all Your works and consider what Your hands have done. I spread out my hands to You; My soul thirsts for You like a parched land. Psalm 143:5-6
