Lesson 1March 1, 2020

Hardened hearts are difficult to deal with in any aspect of life—be it our own or others. The satirical phrase, “a heart of stone” gives perfect imagery to that state. When Moses came to Pharaoh, appealing for the release of God’s people, Pharaoh’s heart was that heart of stone, mocking and dismissing Moses’ message from God—plague after plague. Things continued that way as God executed the plagues and defied very specific false gods Egypt had fabricated. The beauty of it all is that God knows how to deal with such hearts and can carve beautiful, unparalleled artwork from them. In Pharaoh’s hard heart, however, his obstinate stance reached a point of no return.

The setting of today’s lesson is the great nation of Egypt. Jacob and his sons (with the exception of Joseph) came to Egypt hundreds of years earlier to escape famine. Joseph had made residence there years earlier after being sold into slavery. God blessed Joseph and granted him a position of authority in Pharaoh’s house, but those days had long passed. There was a new Pharaoh, and he exhibited no indebtedness to God’s people. The Israelites grew great in number while in Egypt (Exodus 1:7), and Pharaoh saw them as a threat (Exodus 1:9,10). He forced them into bitter slavery. Moses witnessed all of this and was deeply burdened. Although he had been raised in the royalty and grandeur of a former Pharaoh’s house, Moses identified himself as an Israelite (Exodus 1; 2). He abandoned his palace home after murdering an Egyptian. His escape to the wilderness of Midian led to God moving, working and delivering a special charge to Moses—to confront Pharaoh and deliver His people. Pharaoh’s heart condition brought forth the ten plagues endured by Egypt before finally releasing the Israelites.

Lesson 1

3 - 1 - 2020 Scripture Text: Exodus 7—11

Application: I have to have a teachable heart.

Lesson 1 Memory Verse: “He that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.” Proverbs 28:14

SPLAT Tell Card

Several medium-sized rocks, a hammer

Plastic or rubber frog, lice, flies, cow, locusts or grasshoppers, bandages, mini-marshmallows, blindfold

World map or globe

Choose one or more:

Share Isaiah 64:8—God is the potter; we are the clay. Locate a short video of a potter working with clay. Help the students see the connection between God and our hearts. From there, give students some play dough to form a heart as a potter.

Refer to page 2 of the student leaflet. Have students complete the memory verse and matching heart activities. Discuss which heart goes with the memory verse and why. Pharaoh repeatedly said yes to himself and no to God.

Have students cut out the plague pictures in the student leaflet page 3. While they are cutting, let students share what happened in each picture. Mix them up, then put them back in order according to the Bible lesson. You could preface using the coordinating lesson visuals, giving one to each student and having them line up in order.

Have students use the back of the plague matching cards, page 4 of the student leaflet, to learn today’s memory verse. Students can put the verse in order. Shuffle the cards and put them in order. Students can also race one another to see who can put the verse in order the fastest once they are familiar with the verse.

Choose one or more:

In life, we tend to want things our way. We must be very careful to listen to God. His ways are higher than ours, and He sees and knows things we don’t. Our hearts will always be right when we follow Him.

Sometimes in life, we make choices that make our hearts feel rock hard, but it does not have to stay that way! If we keep our hearts in God’s hands, He will make and mold us into who He wants us to be.

Hand out the Tell Cards. Share the activity and the memory verse on the Tell Card. Encourage the children to take time to focus on their hearts this week.

BONUS ACTIVITIESWork with the children on memorizing the memory verse. Come up with motions for the words rock, heart, fall and mischief. The children can do this, and it gives them great ownership.

Sing “O Be Careful” to reiterate how these things have an effect on our hearts.

Let the students act out the lesson with or without the visuals.

A ROCK-HARD HEART

Have students add attendance stickers to the attendance chart. Introduce the Signs of Salvation Visual.

Choose one or more:

Give each student a handful of play dough and a rock. Have them spend a little time discovering and describing the textures of both. Conclude by asking if these two things served as a heart, which one could God use the most and why? God can use both, but the play dough is much more pliable and impressionable. Show them how you can make a thumbprint in the dough while the rock holds strong to its form. While God can move upon and mold a heart that is open to Him, a hard heart requires lots of chiseling and hammering to take shape for God’s purposes. Model this by crushing one with a hammer, be careful. Which kind of heart would you want to have for God?

Give each child paper and a marker. As you sing “O Be Careful” (little eyes, ears, mouth), draw a stick figure person with a face and add eyes, ears and a mouth. Draw a heart in the middle of the person. Discuss how all the things we expose ourselves to make an impression on our very moldable hearts.

Show a world map or globe. Discuss how big the world is, but we can rest assured that God is Lord over all. He sees and hears us and is in the business of molding our hearts.

Ask for any prayer requests, sharing some of your own.

Suggested Prayer: “Dear God, we are here today with ready, thankful hearts! Thank You for molding and making our hearts in your love and mercy. Keep our hearts soft and moldable, not hard. Help us to follow your will and your way, so we will shine for You every day! In Jesus’ name, we pray, amen.”

Be sure to include any prayer requests that were mentioned.

Choose one or more:

Use the Lesson 1 Learn Visual to share today’s lesson (Exodus 7—11). Explain to the students that our lesson today comes from the book of Exodus, which means to exit, depart or go out. That is just what God wanted of His people, the Israelites. There were so many of God’s people living in Egypt, that Pharaoh used them as slaves to do lots of very hard work for him. They were treated very badly. God sent Moses and his brother Aaron to Pharaoh (visual 1-1 and 1-2) to tell him (visual 1-3), “Let My people go.” Read Exodus 7:1-6; 13. Refer to your world map or globe to impress on the students how in all the world, God sees and knows our needs. He saw the needs of the Israelites and would help them. At this point, begin sharing the plagues that God sent against the Egyptians (using teaching cards from the Lesson 1 Learn Visual: 1—water to blood (1-4), 2—frogs (1-5), 3—lice (1-6), 4—flies (1-7), 5—diseased livestock (1-8), 6—boils (1-9), 7—hail (1-10), 8—locusts (1-11), 9—darkness (1-12). End by revisiting the play dough versus the rock analogy from Share time. Which one represents Pharaoh’s heart? The darkness plague ends our lesson, but it doesn’t end what God intends to do. God’s goodness always stands stronger for the people. Save the Lesson 1 Learn Visual for use in future lessons.

Study the plagues thoroughly in Exodus 7—11. Share teaching cards 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3 from the Lesson 1 Learn Visual to set the scene of Moses and Aaron being directed by God to go to Pharaoh (and his cold, hardened heart). For this lesson option, use the various items suggested to represent the plagues as you share them with the students. After sharing each one, reiterate Pharaoh’s hardened heart by holding up and squeezing a sizable rock. At this point, you could also encourage the students to join in the lesson by responding as follows after sharing and embellishing each plague—Teacher: So God turned all the water to blood. The Egyptians bath water was blood! Their drinking water was blood! Their dishwater was blood! But still—(prime the children to chime in for this part) Pharaoh would not let the people go. Then came the frogs—frogs can be interesting and cute little things, but not when they are on your furniture and your bed! But still—Pharaoh would not let God’s people go (follow through in a similar way to the plague of darkness). Although this ends the lesson, it doesn’t end Pharaoh’s hard heart nor God’s power. God will see His people through, because He is the Lord! One more plague to go!

Share the student version of the lesson on page 1 of the student leaflet. Feel free to use the Lesson 1 Learn Visual provided to move along through the plagues. You might even get the children involved in a similar way as mentioned in the option above.
