God Called Moses (Exodus 1-4)
God saved Moses’ life and called him to rescue God’s people from slavery. The calling of Moses points to a greater calling and rescue—the call of Jesus to come to earth to save God’s people. Jesus gave up His life to save us from slavery to sin.

OVERVIEW 
Many years had passed since God used Joseph to rescue His people from a famine by bringing them into Egypt. Now, however, God’s people were in bondage and needed to be rescued. God raised up a new rescuer, Moses, to deliver His people out of Egypt and lead them back to the promised land.

God Controls Everything (Job)
Job learned that God is all-powerful, sovereign, and good. When we face suffering, we can hope in God. God sent Jesus, the only truly innocent One, to suffer and die so that everyone who trusts in Him can have forgiveness and eternal life.

God Had a Plan for Joseph (Genesis 37–50)
God had a plan for Joseph’s life. He allowed Joseph to suffer in order to rescue a whole nation. God planned for Jesus to suffer so that many—people from all nations—would be saved.

God Changed Jacob (Genesis 25–33)
God changed Jacob’s life and gave him a new name, Israel. Jesus came so that we might have a changed life, forgiven of sin. Jesus’ death and resurrection provided sinful people the way to be adopted into God’s family. When we trust in Jesus, we also receive a new name—children of God.

GOD PROVIDED ISAAC (Genesis 21-22)
Abraham showed his love for God by being willing to sacrifice his son Isaac. God provided a ram instead. This is how God showed His love for us: He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross so that we could have eternal life through Him.

Melchizedek Blessed Abraham (Genesis 14; Hebrews 5; 7)
Melchizedek means “king of righteousness.” Melchizedek reminds us of Jesus, an even greater priest and king who lives forever. Jesus died on the cross and rose again to bless all who trust in Him by providing forgiveness and eternal life.

Elementary Video Lesson (Discipleship Hour @Home):

God Made a covenant with Abraham  (Genesis 12-20)
Because God is in control of everything, we know that He will always keep His promises. He promised all peoples on earth would be blessed through Abraham’s family. He kept His promise by sending Jesus as part of Abraham’s family many years later. God blesses all the people on earth through Jesus because Jesus saves people from their sins. 

GOD’S RESCUE PLAN

UNIT DESCRIPTION:
God’s solution for sin, which He promised in Eden, became clearer when God made a covenant with Abraham. God promised to bring the Rescuer through Abraham’s family. This family was far from perfect and endured great adversity, but through it all, God remained faithful, revealing that nothing could stop His plan.

PRESCHOOL MUSIC:

People Rebel Against God (Genesis 10-11)

Sin continued to spread with Noah’s family. They disobeyed and did not spread out like God told them to. Then they tried to make themselves great instead of God by building a tower. God knew it was not good for them to continue in their sin. He mixed up the people’s words so they would have to spread out and fill the earth like He said. When we try to make ourselves look greater than God, God steps in and reminds us He is greatest of all. God sent Jesus to save people from sin and bring them back together. One day, people from all over the world will worship Jesus together. Jesus deserves all the glory.
