Lead the way - Week 4
In the jungle, every day is an unpredictable adventure! But to safely navigate the vines, animals, and tricky terrain, we’ll need a guide to help lead us. This four-week series follows the life of Moses and his journey to leading the Israelites out of Egypt. Through his story, our families discover how God teaches us how to lead, and learn how to follow God’s lead as God leads us to safety, and to what we need.
BIG IDEA: God will lead us to what we need.
BIBLE: Exodus 15:22–25, 16:1–16; Isaiah 41:17–20

DISCIPLE:
Hide pretend food (scrapes of colored paper) around your house. Have your kids find and collect the food. If you want to play again, rotate family members hiding the food while the rest search and find. Challenge your kids by using a timer or make it a race to see who can collect the most food.
Say, great job, explorers! You collected enough "food" to feed some grumpy monkeys out in the jungle who were getting very hungry. What sound do happy monkeys make?
God’s people were grumpy because they needed food. But they didn’t have to look far — they just had to look to God. God gave them enough food for every day and God will lead us to what we need, too!
Pray: God, thank you for leading the way. You give us everything we need and more, so we can always trust in you. Amen.
