Jeremiah for Me!  Lesson 2: "Consider the Word of the Lord!"  A Jeremiah Journey, Journal, and Puppets

New to these lessons?  Scroll back to the introductory lesson to meet Jeremiah and learn of his unique call to be a prophet.  View the first Jeremiah puppet.  Click onto the Jeremiah journal pages.  Don't miss the photos at the end of this lesson showing the new puppets and journal pages as well.  Click on them to enlarge them.  Remember each succeeding lesson will have new stories, journal pages, and puppets!  Share with your kids, grandkids, teachers, homeschoolers, and anyone wishing to really dig into the life of faithful Jeremiah.     

Jeremiah for Me!  Lesson 2

Read Aloud: Jeremiah's First Message:  Read verses: 1-8, 11-14, 19-22, and 25-32.  

Note:  IYB=In Your Bible and IYJ=In Your Journal

Jeremiah's Proclamation!  Chapter two begins Jeremiah's very first message.  In it he cries out or shouts out into the ears of the people of Jerusalem, "Thus saith the Lord, I remember you when you went (followed) after me in the wilderness when you weren't even in the Promised Land.  Things were good then.  But now, "Hear ye the word of the LORD!" (Jer. 2:4)    

In your Bible (IYB) highlight the words; n' in your journal (IYJ) draw Jeremiah shouting out his message! Draw some listeners emphasizing their ears!  View journal page at end of lesson! See the small pic of Jerusalem which may be folded on each side to open as you read the word "Jerusalem." 

Jeremiah's Message Questions:  This message is full of questions--twenty questions that God told Jeremiah to ask the people!  The first question in verse five was:  "What sin your fathers find in me to go far from me, and walk (follow) after vanity or useless things instead of me?"  The second question was why didn't they say, "Where is the LORD...?"  The third question was "Why didn't the priests, the pastors, and the prophets say, "Where is the LORD ...?" instead they too walked after things that didn't profit and were useless.

IYJ write verse/ frame with question marks.  See photo below!  IYB hunt for the questions in chapter two and circle each one.  Did you find them all? Which verses have the most questions? (V.14,31)  

Questions for You:  Ask yourself these questions:  "Who or what do I follow after?  Do I follow after things that are foolish, and useless?"  Colossians 4:5 gives this advice:  "Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time."  In other words, take every opportunity to use your time wisely!  Share Jesus with your friends and family.       
   
Jeremiah's Message Pictures:  God gave Jeremiah many picture words to describe what his people were like.  They include a cistern (well), a yoke, a vine, a camel, a donkey, a bride, a thief, and so on.  e.g., God told Jeremiah that his people were like a vine he had planted with good seed, but later turned into a degenerate plant with wild or strange grapes.  IYJ draw a vine that's declined.

Jeremiah's Soap Message:  Jer. 2:22 says even if somebody washed with much soap God still was aware of their sins or iniquity.  Print a verse image; cut it apart gluing it onto an empty soap box; inside place verse pieces to scramble up; and arrange into the verse.   View the soap bar coloring images; select one to place verse on, or to use as a marker.  IYJ draw a bar of soap and print the verse inside. Do you know who can wash away our sins?  Sing the song: "What Can Wash Away My Sin?    P.S.  It's not soap! 
   
Strange Gods of Strangers!  Jeremiah 2:25 tells how his people had gone after strangers or idol worshippers.  In fact, they said to a stock or tree image, "You are our father."  And they said to a stone or idol image, "You made me."  These people, said the Lord, have turned their back on me!  In a time of trouble, you will call out to me to save you."  And God asks, "So why don't you call out to the gods you have made to save you?"  

The Shame Frame:   IYJ draw a pic of person who feels ashamed because they have loved worshipping idols instead of the Lord.  Surround them with tiny pictures of high hills, spreading or green trees, stocks (tree part), and stones.  See journal photos. 

O Generation, Jeremiah Gem Verse:  Jeremiah 2:31 says, "O generation, see (consider) ye the word of the LORD. ..."  What an apt verse for our generation too!  Consider it!  Memorize it!  IYB stick a sticker in front of the verse.  IYJ print it inside a shiny gem drawing.   Rephrase the verse this way: "O Gen Z (Kids' generation today.), see ye the word of the LORD!"   

Have You Heard of These Words?  Here's our lesson vocab words.  Match each one to its definition; answers are at end of this lesson.

1. cry 2. walked 3. wentest  4. vanity 5. defiled 6. transgress 7. forsake 8. plead 9. backslide 10. a stock 11. degenerate 12. polluted

a. followed b. something useless c. sin d. call out e. forget f. tree g. unclean h. ruined i. turn back to sin  j. corrupt k. followed* l. contends 

* Two different words mean "followed!" 

Unscramble Jeremiah's Message Words: "LORD ... Hear words of the ye the" and "the of the word see ye the LORD" From Jer. 2:4, and 2:31.  Journal them.  Check answers at bottom.

Just Like Jeremiah:  As Jeremiah's message teaches us not to walk after or follow after things that displease the Lord, but rather wholly follow the Lord each day of our life.

Jeremiah for Me! Intro Lesson: "Be Not Afraid of Their Faces!" A Jeremiah Journey, Journal, and Puppets

Jeremiah for Me! Intro Lesson:  "Be Not Afraid of Their Faces!" A Jeremiah Journey, Journal, and Puppets


Goodbye Deuteronomy, Hello Jeremiah!

Here's an introductory lesson to a new series.  Written for "kids" and their "big kids" its sections include everything from: "Where in the Word Is Jeremiah?" to "Jeremiah Face Places to Illustrate" plus much more!  Won't you come along with us on a "Jeremiah Journey?"

Lesson goals include read aloud verses/passages; search for words/phrases; highlight certain words/ parts; record findings/drawings; memorize Jeremiah sayings/gems; and relate Jeremiah to today/tomorrow.  For each lesson kids/big kids will create a tube puppet character to help retell the stories. Stay with us for the whole series, and you'll have an amazing easy-to-make puppet collection plus accessories.   

Before you begin, take this little quiz to see how much you know about Jeremiah.

1.   Jeremiah is the 23rd or 24th book in the Old Testament.
2.   Jeremiah has 55 or 52 chapters.
3.   Jeremiah is the first book of the minor or major prophets.
4.   Jeremiah is about Israel's ten tribes, two tribes.
5.   Jeremiah came from Assyria, Anathoth.
6.   Jeremiah is followed by Isaiah, Lamentations.
7.   Jeremiah was a priest, a prophet.
8.   Jeremiah spoke about Jerusalem, Jordan.
9.   Jeremiah spoke about the south, the north.
10. Jeremiah referred to Bethlehem, Babylon.
11. Jeremiah was known as the happy prophet, the weeping prophet.
12. Jeremiah spoke of the coming capture of Jerusalem, of Shiloh.
13. Jeremiah's theme is the building of, or the judgment of Judah.
14. Jeremiah's book abbreviation is Jerm. or Jer.

Answers: 1. 24   2. 52    3. major    4. two tribes    5. Anathoth    6. Lamentations    7.  prophet  
8.  Jerusalem    9.  the north    10.  Babylon    11.  weeping prophet    12.  Jerusalem    13.  judgment    14.  Jer.  

Chapter One Read Aloud:  Read verses 1-19 

Jeremiah's ID:  Jeremiah's father:  Hilkiah the priest Jeremiah's hometown: Anathoth* Jeremiah's Time Period: Five kings from Southern Kingdom of Judah/Benjamin Jeremiah's Prophesies: for Judah/ Jerusalem and the Nations Jeremiah's age at his call: About 20

*  Check out a Bible map to see Anathoth was three miles northeast of Jerusalem.
 
Your ID:  Son or daughter of, hometown, date, age.  Record in journal.

Jeremiah's Name Means: God (Yahweh) "establishes or sends" 

Jeremiah's Name Frame:
Check out the sample journal page below, then make a face circle, headband, hair line, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, and neck.  After write words around it, and in the headband as well.

For each lesson draw Jeremiah using the same basic face while changing the features to fit the story.  After drawing the face, and the name frame make a second frame using these words from Jeremiah 1:4 "Then the word of the LORD, came unto me saying, ...."    

Jeremiah's Call:  Jeremiah 1:5 is an amazing verse.  In it, God speaks to Jeremiah saying "I" four times.  It reads; "Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee (set you apart), and I ordained thee to be a prophet to the nations."  Don't forget to highlight or mark the Is!  What was Jeremiah to be?

The Bible says a true prophet is someone who foretells the future and their words come true; whereas a false prophet is someone who foretells the future, but their words do not come true.    

Draw a pic of Jeremiah. Make him look scared. To make a frame use the four "I" parts around it.  Which Bible prophet (See Exodus 4:11,12) was Jeremiah like when he said he couldn't speak well?   

Jeremiah Exclamation!   Jeremiah's reply to the Lord's call began with this exclamation: "Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak for I am a child."  And God answered Jeremiah with, "Say not I am a child (youth): for thou shalt go to all that I send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak." Jer1:6,7   Later, this little exclamation "Ah, Lord GOD!" is found three more times in Jeremiah.  Look for it!  P.S. "Spy the Is" in this conversation.      

Draw Jeremiah using this expression as he talks to God and writing God's reply.   See journal sample.    

Jeremiah Gem Verse:   In each chapter there's a jewel verse to memorize and recite.  Using a glitter marker, or crayon write the verse in your journal.  Beside it you may draw a "sparkly gem." Also punch out dots from glittered/shiny stickers to place by each Bible gem verse.  

In our Jeremiah 1:8 gem verse is a "face place" where God encourages Jeremiah saying, "Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with you to deliver (protect) thee, saith the LORD."   What a neat verse for us too.  

Jeremiah's Enemy Faces: Check out the journal page below--see the enemy faces--using that headband draw some faces with frowns and raised eyebrows to show their mocking of Jeremiah's words.  Say, have you ever had someone make fun of things you said especially about God's word?  Jeremiah had plenty of those enemies--you'll meet them later on.   

Your Enemy:  Write down the name of someone in your journal who has been unkind to you or made fun of you.  Pray for that person that you can help them see that God loves them and wants them to know Him.  Luke 6:28 says, " Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you."

Jeremiah's Mouth:  Draw Jeremiah with an oversized mouth.  Reread verse 9.  How will you show this verse in your drawing?  Who alone would give Jeremiah words to say?  See one way of depicting the verse in the photo below.

Jeremiah's Jobs:  God says in verse ten there were six things that Jeremiah was asked to do.  Two are positive and four are negative.  Which two are + words, and which four are - words?  Jot them down in your journal or draw Jeremiah with the words around him.  Write "Jeremiah's Jobs" in his headband.      

Jeremiah Questions:  Jeremiah has lots of questions: questions from the Lord, the people, and Jeremiah asking why, what, who, where, when and other questions.  In this chapter God asks two "What" questions to Jeremiah saying, "What seest thou?"  First, Jeremiah spies a flowering "almond branch," and second, he spies a "seething or boiling pot."  Both of these are word pictures. Draw them in your journal. What do they mean? 

A Hidden Word: By the way there's a clue word hiding in the boiling cauldron story.  Did you detect it?  It has five letters, and it's a direction word.  From that direction what would come?

Where In the Word Is?   The abbreviation "vs." means "against."  In all there are ten "vs. words " starting an "a" in verses 15-16 and 18-19 to hunt for, and highlight.  Did you find them?

Arise Jeremiah!  God said, "Get up, gird up, (Tuck in your robe!), and speak to the people for I am against them because of their wickedness."

Another "Face Place!"  Again, there's a focus on faces in verse seventeen. Look at it.  It says, "... be not dismayed (stressed out/alarmed) at their faces ....". 

God's Promise to Jeremiah:  What would the people do when Jeremiah spoke God's message?  
The last verse of chapter one gives the answer: "And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail (win out over you) against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee." (Jer.1:19)    
Have You Heard of These Words?  Here are some of the vocabulary words from our lesson.  Can you match them up to their definitions? 

1. form 2. sanctify 3. prophet 4. rod 5. north 6. dismay 7. Jerusalem 8. Judah 9. behold 
10. against 11. deliver 12. seething

a. to create   b. a branch c. holy city d. to set apart e. a tribe f. one who foretells the future g. to see h. to distress i. a direction j. to protect k. boiling l. versus or vs.  Find the answers at end of lesson.

Unscramble Jeremiah's Message Theme:  my words! Speak 

Just Like Jeremiah:  Today we often feel hesitant to speak words about the Lord to those who don't know Him, for they may mock or defy us as they did Jeremiah.  However, God says don't be afraid of their faces, but to remember He will be with us when we encounter those who make us feel fearful.  A great song to sing with this chapter is: "He Is Able to Deliver Thee."  

Answers to Jeremiah Vocab Quiz/Message Theme:

1.a   2.d   3.f   4.b   5.i   6.h   7.c   8.e   9.g   10.1 11.j 12.k       Message: "Speak my words!"

 A Jeremiah Tube Puppet is an easy-to-make kids' puppet to use with the lessons.  Simply take a toilet tube, wrap it in light colored paper, and tuck in ends.  After tie a white napkin strip around "Jeremiah's head" to make a headband.  Then using paper or foam cut out facial features as ears, eyes, noses, mouths, moustache, and so on.  Place the tube inside a tray or box.  Make some printed word strips or write them yourself.  Now, change your Jeremiah face to go with parts of the story, and move "word, or phrase" strips to make a frame round him.  Use and reuse!  In each lesson we will make another tube puppet character or accessories to use with the lessons.  When your set is complete, you'll have a whole set of puppets and props to use to retell Jeremiah's stories.

ABC: Deuteronomy for Me!  Glossary of Poems and Action Rhymes


Here are sixty poems/rhymes I've written found in the twenty-six ABC lessons.  Notice after the poem/rhyme title is a letter in parenthesis.  That is the lesson letter where that poem or rhyme can be found.  e.g. "A Caleb Kid's Motto" can be found in lesson " H Is for Hear It!"  In each lesson there are other ideas on how to use the poems, and related stories, songs, videos, projects, and verses.

"Get ready, get set," Moses did say,
"Enter the land, do it today!"
(Wag finger; say forcefully.)
The people replied, "Make us a plan;
give us spy guys to search out the land.
(Peek through finger circles.)
So Moses chose twelve
who searched to see,
what the land would turn out to be.
(Hold up ten fingers, then two fingers.)
Back at home, the ten did share the
land was good, but had giants there.
(Stand on tip toes; reach arms up.)
But Caleb n' Joshua both did say,
"We can do it.  Let's go in today."
(Say happily.)
Then the ten did murmur and complain,
"We'd rather go back to Egypt again."
(Say sadly,)
Provoked and angered God did reply,
"Because of your sin in this land
you will die!"
(Raise voice!)
"Only Caleb and Joshua the land will see,
because they have wholly followed me!"
(Point up.)
From Numbers 13,14, Deuteronomy 1
