A SERIES FROM GENESIS ON HOW GOD IS A PROMISE MAKER
God is the ultimate craftsman. The universe is God’s workshop where He plans and molds life into existence. As the Maker of heaven and earth, God has a big overarching plan for humanity. He knew what would happen before it did and made promises that affirmed His plan and ultimate role as our Maker. This month kids will learn that God continually made promises that affirmed His covenantal commitment to His people. And that, despite their repeated sin, God promised to send the ultimate Rescuer to save humanity and restore the perfect relationship that Adam and Eve shared with Him in the garden.
