VERSES: Micah 1:1-7:20 MEMORY VERSE: Micah 6:8 "He hath showed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" BOOK TO REMEMBER: 1 John. Write "1 John" on small slips of paper and hand out at the end of class for home memorization. PRAYER: Pray that we will all stay close to the LORD by doing the right things, showing love and compassion, and living in a humble manner before God. SPECIAL SONG: This Little Light Of Mine (see March 2014 - Songs We Sing In Bible Class #3 on this blog. Click orange circle for tune.) VISUAL AID: Large Activity (see below) LESSON POINTS: Micah was a prophet of God who preached to God's disobedient people at the same time Isaiah, Amos and Hosea were preaching. God spoke to Micah and then Micah would tell the people what God had said. Micah was a spokesman for God who also wrote a book that has seven chapters. Because he did not write as much as Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel, Micah was considered a minor prophet. He was a country boy from a place called Morasheth-Gath. His name means "Who is like Jehovah?" Micah preached to the Jews who were not doing what God told them to do. They disobeyed God. In fact, Micah said that the people were doing evil things because they could do it! He said that they made up wicked things to do and did not wait until it was nighttime to do bad things, they did them in the morning when the sun was up! The people were very disobedient and they did not listen to God when He spoke to Micah. They just kept doing bad things and did not care what God thought. God got angry and said that only the remnant or only His people who were obeying his commandments would have hope. Micah was speaking of the Messiah, the one who was going to break their bonds of sin and have hope. God blamed the leaders of His people for the people's disobedience because they were the ones who should have known God's judgments. But the leaders did not lead the people; the leaders hated good things and loved evil things. That is not what they should have done! God said He was going to give up on His people and when they cried to Him to help them, He would hide His face from them. While God's face is against them that do evil deeds, His eyes eyes watch over the righteous and His ears are listening to their prayers. God is a good God. Read Micah 6:8. Micah told the people that God had showed them what was good and told them what He required of them. The people were do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly before God. But...the people would not listen to Micah or to God. "Older Student" Tips: Read 1 Peter 3:12. Discuss.

This week we discuss Peter being set free from prison. God sent an angel, and they walked right past the guards! There is a game to play and review for the lesson. The game can be used just as a game board, or it can be used as a file folder game. It is short but should really help make the review fun for the students! It was three years after Jesus was crucified, and King Herod decided to harass the Christians. He had James the apostle killed, and because that made the Jews happy, he decided to kill Peter also. The scripture for today's lesson is Acts 12:1-19. King Herod had Peter arrested and put him in prison and then Peter was taken to four squads of soldiers (16 men) to guard him while they waited for him to be brought to trial. Peter was kept in prison, but the Christians were constantly praying to God. Luke tells us in verse 5 that the church was praying for Peter. A church building can't pray. The people are the church. Peter was asleep the night that King Herod was ready to take him out of prison to go before the people. He was between two soldiers and was tied up with two chains. There were also guards at the door of the prison. An angel from God stood by Peter, and there was a light shining in the prison. The angel hit Peter in the side and sat him up telling him to "Hurry, get up!" The chains fell off of Peter's hands. The angel told him to get dressed and put on his sandals. When Peter was ready, the angel said, "Put on your coat and follow me." Peter followed the angel, but he wasn't sure if what the angel had done was real, he thought the angel might be a vision! The angel and Peter went past the first and second guard posts and they came to the iron gate that led into the city. The gate opened by itself, and they went out and went down one street, then the angel left. Peter finally realized he wasn't dreaming and knew that God had sent one of His angels to help him! The angel saved Peter from King Herod and the Jewish people that wanted to kill Peter. After Peter thought about it, he went to Mary's house. She was the mother of John 'Mark'. There were a lot of Christians there praying for Peter. He knocked on the door of the gate and a girl named Rhoda answered. When she recognized Peter's voice, she was so excited that he was there, she didn't open the gate! Instead, she ran in and announced to everyone that Peter was at the gate! They did not believe her, but Rhoda kept telling them that Peter was really outside at the gate. They said, "It has to be his angel." Peter kept knocking and when they finally opened the door, and saw that Peter really was outside, they were amazed! Peter motioned with his hand to be quiet, and he told them how God had sent His angel to get him out of prison. Peter told them to go tell James and the other Christians what happened, then Peter left to go somewhere else. As soon as it was daytime, the soldiers were frantically looking for Peter. They couldn't figure out what had happened to him, and the soldiers couldn't find Peter! I created something a little different for this lesson! You can print one (or more for bigger classes) and use with the class or print enough for the students to take home as a file folder. If you are using at home, or using as a file folder game, there is a cover to print. This is a very short game, and the directions are in the download. Click here to download.
