Tonight we furthered the story of Moses leading the Hebrews out of Egypt in the great Exodus into the desert. Despite the many, many miracles that they had seen, the people began to worship their own crafted idols and God gave to them His laws written on stone to guide them. We will contrast this later with the truth that those now who believe in Jesus and have His Holy Spirit, have no need for a written Law, because it is written on their hearts.
God had offered for them to become a kingdom of priests, but since they feared to see God and sent Moses up the mountain before God alone, they became a Kingdom with priests. The main ornament is of the Hebrews (dots) passing through the waters and toward the Law (the tan represents the desert). I had an extra ornament with the 10 Commandments I had made, paper ornament, and the chocolate stone tablets, which are one of my favorite designs. They finally got a Spiderman piece which is their biggest clue so far in the Lego kit that we got them that they are assembling progressively. Usually the toy is tied in to the story or significance, but this year that's not quite the case. And then Mommy leaned over on the couch and fell asleep for an hour while Dad put the kids to bed. This was an unusual night.
If you are following along with the Bible in Stories - pages 154-163, and looking at pictures of Ark of the Covenant, where the 10 Commandments were stored.
If using the Bible or another Bible reader - summarize Exodus 19-34
