Preschool Chapel: Adam and Eve (Review)

Puppet Show

Me:

Last time, Theo’s friends said they saw him going to the apple cider room.

That’s not a safe place for little bears!

Let’s call him and see if he’s OK.

One-two-three: OH THEO!

Bring Theo into view

Me:

Theo, we sure are glad to see you!

Hey-is your fur wet?

What happened?

Theo:

Oh, it’s no big deal.

I just slid into a tank full of apple cider.

But I’m OK, really!

Me:

Theo, that is serious.

You should have listened to us when we told you not to go in the apple cider room.

Theo:

I know, but the apple cider room is where they make apple cider.

And apple cider is made from apples.

You all know how much I love apples.

I just wanted to taste some of that apple cider.

Me:

Theo, I know you like apples, but you still have to obey the rules.

And besides, you could have gotten hurt!

That’s scary.

We care about you, Theo; don’t we?

We don’t want you to get hurt.

Theo:

Thank you everybody.

I will try to obey the rules next time.

Me:

So how in the world did you fall into the tank?

Theo:

I saw apple cider in the tank, so I climbed up and leaned over the side of the tank to dip my mouth into the cider.

It tasted so yummy that I didn’t notice I was sliding until all of a sudden, I tumbled right over the side and splashed into the cider!

Me:

Oh, wow!

Were you scared?

Theo:

Of course!

Some dogs can swim, but I am not one of those dogs, so I started yelling for help.

Me:

Who helped you?

Theo:

My friend, Timothy, of course!

I held onto his hand with both paws

Then he pulled me up and out of the tank and set me safely on the floor.

Me:

What a good friend!

Theo:

Yes, and I feel bad that I got him in trouble.

Timothy is not supposed to go in that room either.

His dad reminded him that everyone needs to follow the rules.

Rules keep us safe.

Me:

Well, I’m glad you learned your lesson, Theo.

Is it true that you’re not allowed to ride the train for awhile?

Theo:

Yes, that’s true.

That’s my punishment for breaking the rule.

Next time, I think I’ll do better at following the rules.

Me:

I am glad to hear that!

Theo:

Welp, I better get going,

It’s time for me to take my nap!

Me:

Alright, Theo; we’ll see you later!

Everynody say bye to Theo!

Lesson Time:

I’m so glad our friend Theo the Dog is safe, aren’t you?

He should have obeyed the rule, and he wouldn’t have had so much trouble!

Adam and Eve had a rule from God, and they should have obeyed.

Today, we’re going to remember everything we learned about Adam and Eve from the Bible.

Let’s pray and ask God to help us listen to His truth.

John 17:17 says… Your word is true.

PRAY

Summary:

Adam and Eve lived close to God in a beautiful garden.

They had everything they needed.

God gave Adam and Eve only one rule to obey.

If they broke that rule, they would die.

God’s word is truth!

The serpent lied, Eve believed the lie and Eve and Adam both chose to disobey God.

After Adam and Eve sinned, they felt afraid and ashamed.

They tried to hide from God.

God still loved Adam and Eve, but He said they must leave the garden because of their sin.

Their sin hurt people and the rest of God’s creation in sad ways.

Kids, God’s Word is truth.

He said Adam and Eve would die if they ate from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and that’s what happened.

But I want to tell you something else God said.

This is a BIG truth.

John 3:36 says...

John 3:36 (ESV)

36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life...

Did you hear what God said?

When you trust Jesus Christ as Savior, you have eternal life.

Eternal life means you have life with the Lord Jesus, both now and forever!

And that’s the truth; because God said it, and God’s Word is truth.

Heaven will be a perfect place with no crying or hurting and no bedtimes, because we won’t ever need to sleep there!

Ending:

Do you remember Satan, God’s enemy?

He is still alive today.

We don’t see him or know what he looks like, but he still tells people lies.

He always tries to get us to listen to what he says instead of what God says.

When Jesusa came to earth, Satan talked to Jesus in the desert.

He tried to get Jesus to do what he wanted Jesus to do.

But guess what?

Jesus said “no!”

Jesus wasn’t like Adam and Eve

Jesus listened to God’s truth, and He believed every single one of God’s words.

He is God’s perfect Son.

Jesus is our Savior

He died for our sin and came out of the tomb alive again.

He is MUCH stronger than Satan.

He is God.

Everything He says is true.

Let’s pray that we would trust Him as our Savior and obey Him more and more!
