K Is for Keep It!
K is for keep it,
as Jesus did say,
"Hear the word
of God, and keep it."
Yes, keep it today!
From: Luke 11:28
Say It: Luke 11:28
First read it: "Blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it." Luke 11:28
First read it: "Blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it." Luke 11:28
Next say it this way: "Blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it."
Print verse on white board. Read it to children. Reread it emphasizing the three words. Do this several times pointing to each words as you read. Let K-2 kids "journal it" by copying the verse into their journal. Illustrate.
Locate It: Find Verse in Luke
This verse is in the New Testament (NT). Let's find that. Assist kids. Do you see the word New Testament? Hold up your own Bible. Have children highlight "The New Testament." Say, let's find the gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Do this. Now, let' s go back to Luke. Find chapter; find verse. If you have a red letter Bible, "What color are the words in this verse?" Explain words that Jesus said are often shown in red.
!Idea! This would be the perfect time to give kids a Books of the Bible marker to insert in Luke.

A lesson aim is to focus in on the first four gospels, to have the children get to know they are in the New Testament, to recognize NT as an abbreviation for the New Testament, and to be able to locate each one. Journal it, and learn it. "Train up a child" is a key component of these lessons. Resolve to do it! It will pay great dividends.

Hear It: Some Things About Kings
Deuteronomy tells us some things about kings. God told the people that later on when got into that good land they would get a king. And when they did, they should remember some king things. First, their king should be an Israelite, not from any other nation. Second, their king should not get a lot of horses. Third, their king should not get a lot of wives. And fourth their king should not get a lot of gold and silver. These things the king should not do! But, there was something their king should do. He should write a copy of the Book of the Law. He should read it all the days of his life. The king thing that was most important was that the king should fear God, and keep all the words of God's book-- to do them! Deuteronomy 17:14-20

Hear It: A Kid King Who Did Right In God's Sight!
Remember what we just learned about some king things God said kings should do, and not do. This little story is a about kid king who did right in God's sight.
Josiah--the Kid King (II Kings 22, 23)
Josiah was just eight when he got to be king. His father and grandfather hadn't been good kings for they had done bad things following others gods and worshipping them. But, when Josiah was yet young the Bible says he began to seek after the Lord.
As he grew he found evil things that crept into his land. So, Josiah decided to get rid of all the bad things he found. He swept away idols--he smashed them. He swept away idol altars--he broke them. He took away evil places and priests.
Then, Josiah decided to fix up God's house. He asked worker men to come in to fix it. As the men were working, Hilkiah the priest found an old scroll that was God's book. "Look," Hilkiah told Shaphan the scribe writer, "I found God's Book of the Law. Take it to the king!"
Did Shaphan do that? Yes, Shaphan did. He even did something else; he read the Book of the Law to the king. As the king listened, he felt so sad to hear that they'd forgotten God's book. He wept and cried. He even ripped some of his clothes. He felt sorry in his heart for his sin and for his people's sin. The Bible says he had a tender heart. What would Josiah do?
He sent some men to a prophetess named Huldah. Huldah asked God what would happen. Huldah told them God said he was going to punish the kings of Judah for their sin of worshipping and bowing to idol gods. But, God said he'd noticed that Josiah had a tender heart and had wept because of his sin. Therefore, Josiah wouldn't be punished; he would live in peace.
Later Josiah called everyone-- the old and the young-- to come to a gathering. What was Josiah's plan? He would stand to read: "The Book of the Law!" All the people stood up too. They listened. They agreed to keep God's laws. They did. (II Kings 22,23 II Chronicles 34, 35)
II Kings 23:3 "And the king stood by a pillar and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statues with all their heart and soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant."

Understand It! Keep the Passover! Deuteronomy 16:1-8
Read together. The Israelites were to keep the Passover unto the Lord in their new land. There they were to remember how the Lord had brought them out of slavery in Egypt. They were to remember how the Lord had told them to put the blood of a spotless lamb on their doorposts and lintels so God's angel would pass over their homes, and keep them safe. They were to remember how they came through the Red Sea with Moses as their leader. Passover was to be celebrated at sundown in March or April. No leavened bread or bread that rises was to be eaten during this seven day time.
Hear It! Such a Passover! II Kings 23:21-25
Josiah the King kept God's laws. Not only did he keep God's laws but he commanded all the people to once again keep God's special celebration called the Passover or Pesach as God commanded in Exodus 12:3.
Scripture records in II Kings 23 and II Chronicles 34 that there never a Passover celebration like it from the days of the judges of Israel right through all the kings of Israel and Judah right up to Josiah. How old was Josiah then? He began to reign as king at eight years old, and this was his eighteenth year as king. Add them together, and what did you get? Twenty-six! He was not an old king at all.
This extra-ordinary Passover was proceeded by Josiah getting rid of mediums and wizards, images and idols, and all the abominations he spied in both Judah and Jerusalem. He fully followed God's laws. And as the Bible says he turned to God with all his heart, soul, and might.

Discuss: After viewing this video discuss: Did you notice something pictured in the video that is incorrect? ( The Book of the Law pictured as a book with a spine rather than a scroll!) What is the difference between an idol and a memorial? Why was it alright for Josiah to get rid of the idols? Why is it not alright for people to topple memorials on private property? Or knock down a statue in a church today? If one views an idol image in a church or a memorial that lifts up someone or something that is evil what is the proper thing to do?

* Color the picture. Make a pop-out Moses by having a parent or older child use small scissors to cut round Moses from bottom of picture line round his robe edge and sleeve to this hand down to his head and up around his rod and back down robe sleeve to bottom. Pop him out. Glue to blue piece of paper. Little kids will enjoy moving Moses with his rod as he leads the people through the Sea of Reeds or the Red Sea.
I especially like pp.44/45 with its various pictures of the shofar, the yad (pointer), the tallit, (prayer shawl), the Mezuzzah (prayer box), and others. This color book is an excellent source of pictures for each holiday celebration. Find the book here:

Be a keeper!

So many today are not keepers of all that is right and good. Instead they insist on their own way ignoring God's word and commandments altogether. Over and over God tells us that obeying his rules surely will pay great dividends. Be a keeper of God's word!
Teachers, Parents, Grandparents, YOU!
Consider It: While He Was Yet Young!
While Josiah was yet young he began to seek the Lord; while Caleb was but a young man he wholly followed the Lord. While Timothy was young he knew the Scripture. And this is the time that you too can influence your children and grandchildren the most. So keep this in mind, redeeming the time, for truly the days are evil.

Color It! Passover/Holiday Coloring Pictures
Chaya Burstein's informative color book Jewish Holidays and Traditions Coloring Book (Dover Publications, 1990) that has pictures to use with all of the Jewish Holidays. Several sample Passover color pages can be found under Chaya Burstein's color book Images. Find these Passover pictures here:

* Color the picture. Make a pop-out Moses by having a parent or older child use small scissors to cut round Moses from bottom of picture line round his robe edge and sleeve to this hand down to his head and up around his rod and back down robe sleeve to bottom. Pop him out. Glue to blue piece of paper. Little kids will enjoy moving Moses with his rod as he leads the people through the Sea of Reeds or the Red Sea.
I especially like pp.44/45 with its various pictures of the shofar, the yad (pointer), the tallit, (prayer shawl), the Mezuzzah (prayer box), and others. This color book is an excellent source of pictures for each holiday celebration. Find the book here:
