This year during FamilyQuest we are on a quest for our identity. We will accomplish this by studying various characters in the Bible, discovering the characteristic(s) that identified them, and then using those as a model for a personal understanding of our own identity which we have when we are born again and are in Christ Jesus.
(Note to Parents: We need you to clearly convey that this identity is ONLY for those who have experienced salvation through Christ Jesus and are new creatures. Although it is AVAILABLE to everyone, it is not an identity that AUTOMATICALLY BELONGS to everyone.)
During this unit, we are learning that the Israelites were "Favored and Delivered". We, too, have been favored and delivered by God, but we must
activate our identity by reciprocating and choosing Christ!
In this unit we learn the Israelite's history in five distinct parts:
1. in slavery
2. wandering in the wilderness
3. during the time of the judges
4. during the time of the kings
5. during the time of exile
Check out some of the following activities to help you reinforce these time periods at home with your kids!
