Sunday School
We're entering into a new unit and this week we will be exploring how Israel needs a leader. Our Bible Point is God is patient...even when we forget about him.
"What was I thinking?" you wonder to yourself sadly. You'd messed up, talked to God about it, and promised it wouldn't happen again. But then it does happen again. The gossip slips out of your mouth. Or the road rage kicks in. You feel horrible.
Sin has a way of coming around again and agin in our lives. While it's true that God forgives us and remembers our sins no more (Hebrews 8:12). Sin is and will continue to be a struggle on this side of heaven. It's as sad and frustrating as the book of Judges.
But there's good news: God is patient. He won't give up on you, even when you forget about him. Perfection isn't a requirement for teaching children God's Word. As we navigate this lesson, it will help kids remember God's presence in their lives.

Prayer
Dear God, time and again, we forget about you and your work in our world and in our lives. Thank you for your unfailing love and forgiveness. In Jesus' name, Amen.
