Quest for Identity: Israelites Weeks 1-5

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!

SLAVERY:

Watch the "Prince of Egypt" in its entirety or at least this video clip titled "Deliver Us"

WILDERNESS:

The story of Jacob and his 12 sons can be quite confusing.  Below you will find a link to some printable activities that might help you reteach and remember the family tree!  Remember to use this as an opportunity to discuss how God used Jacob to continue the covenant promise He made with Abraham!

Have you memorized the song from this unit, yet?  If not, here's a link to a video with all the lyrics.  Crank the music up at home and have a worship time together praising God that He has given us an identity.  We can shout at the top of our lungs..."I am who He says I am."  :)
