7 We certainly appreciate some of the children s curricula that have been produced in years past that can be used or adapted for the Messianic Jewish Community. However, the new curriculum that Frances Walker- McCampbell has produced is specifically designed for Messianic Jewish communities and families. Frances goes to great lengths to insure that the Shabbat School program that she oversees has a balanced approach to teaching our children the Jewish roots of faith within the centrality of Yeshua. Her technique of alternating Tanach passages and B rit Hadasha examples for the students highlights the consistency and inerrant nature of the Word of God from beginning to end. This curriculum is what we need in our synagogues and in our homes. Chad Holland, Congregational Leader B rit Hadasha Messianic Jewish Synagogue 7

12 Yeshua In The Covenants (MIM) Messianic Instructional Model Components There are many excellent instructional models for teachers; however, we felt that we needed a new model for this Messianic curriculum. Because of this, we wrote the Messianic Instructional Model or MIM. In the MIM, each lesson includes the following components: A preperation page for teachers An easy-to-follow lesson plan A Connect the Root study which links the Tanach and the B rit Hadasha A student lesson sheet to be taken home and saved for future study A life application reinforcement project The preparatory page for teachers for each lesson includes: An overview of the lesson objectives A suggested teaching aid for the lesson A helpful teaching tip The lesson visual 12

14 Yeshua In The Covenants These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Deuteronomy 6:

16 Yeshua In The Covenants Teacher s Preparation Page Lesson # 1: Scripture Ref. Genesis 6: 18 Title: God Gave His Covenants For Us Overview Of Lesson Objective: Lesson one introduces the word covenant. The lesson also develops two main points: 1) God provided for us in His covenants and 2) that there are two types of covenants, conditional and unconditional. To introduce the idea of a covenant, the teacher will lead the children in a brief question and answer discussion about friendships. Next, to learn the meanings of the two types of covenants, the teacher will give the children two scenarios in which the children will role play the two given covenants. Lesson Time Frame: Please allow 35 to 40 minutes to teach your lesson. After going over your plans, you will find that you can easily complete the lesson plan within that time frame. If needed, please adjust your lesson to fit your schedule. Supplies Needed: Crayons Paper Several pencils of different colors One yellow pencil Teaching Tip: To help with the flow of the lesson, I give the student sheets to the children at the beginning of the Connect the Root study to let them work along with me. At the end of class the student sheets are sent home to be saved in the student s notebooks. Visual: If you have a scroll, display it on your table during the lesson, then use it as you discuss the life application project at the end of the lesson. Notes: 16

God will never break a covenant with us. Connect The Root Study: Your students should follow along on their worksheets as you examine and discuss the connecting concepts between the Hebrew word and the scripture below. Scripture: Covenant: But I will establish my covenant with you... Gen. 6: 18a alliance, pledge, to cut a covenant ב ר ית Transliteration: b rit While teaching the lesson, integrate the connecting concepts from the Connect The Root study into your class discussion. 17

18 Yeshua In The Covenants Link To Prior Knowledge: A long time ago, there was a man named Noah. Who remembers the story of Noah? (Brief discussion) As you remember, when Noah was alive, God sent a great flood. Who remembers what happened to Noah during the flood? (Brief discussion) Yes, God provided a way of deliverance for Noah, his family, and the animals. Before the flood, God gave specific directions to Noah so that he would be safe. In Genesis 6: 18, God said: I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish. But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark you and your sons and your wife and your sons wives with you. Preparatory Transitional Sentence: Today we are going to learn more about the word covenant. As we learned in the Connect The Root study, a covenant means an agreement, a pledge, or a promise. A covenant is a binding agreement between two parties. Have you ever made an agreement with a friend? (Brief answer) What kind of agreement did you make? (Brief comments) Did you and your friend keep your agreement with each other? (Brief answer) Now, let s study more about the word covenant. Lesson Text: The word covenant was first used in Genesis 6: 18 where God gave Noah His promise to care for Noah. In God s covenant with Noah, He made provisions for Noah, his family, and the animals during the flood. God s promises are true. He did exactly what He told Noah He would do. Noah could trust God because God s Word is true. As God provided for Noah, He also provides for us. His covenants show us that He loves us and that He will always take care of us. As we study this lesson, we will see that God has made provision for us through His covenants. In our Connect the Root study, we learned what a covenant is; now let s learn about the different types of covenants. There are two types of covenants: conditional and unconditional. 1. In a conditional covenant, both people must fulfill the agreed upon conditions. If either person fails to meet his or her agreement, the covenant is broken. 2. In an unconditional covenant, there is an agreement between two people, but only one of them has to do something. The other person does not have to do anything. To learn more about the two types of covenants and a covenantal agreement, let s do some role playing. 18

19 Teacher: Let s role play one type of covenant. One of you will give the covenant conditions and your friend will do nothing. Lesson One First Scenario: [Teacher selects the first two children] First child: Here are some crayons if you want to color. I will put the pencils in your art box in a few moments. The two children verbally agree with each other. The second child does nothing but sits in the chair. He may color if he wants to, or he may do nothing. His actions do not affect the covenant. In a few moments, the first child (giver of the covenant) puts the pencils in the art box. Teacher: What kind of covenant is this? (Unconditional) Explain why this is an unconditional covenant. (Brief class discussion) Second Scenario: [Teacher selects two more children] Now let s role play the second type of covenant. First child: Here are your pencils. If you use the yellow pencil to draw the outline of a flower, then I will put the crayons in your box for you to use later. The two children verbally agree with each other. The second child uses only the yellow pencil to sketch a flower, then the first child puts the crayons in the art box. Teacher: What kind of covenant is this? (Conditional) Explain why this is a conditional covenant. (Brief class discussion) Class Discussion: What type of covenant do you think God gave Noah? Review These Lesson Concepts: 1. When was the first time God used the word covenant in the Tanach? 2. Define a covenant. 3. Define the two types of covenants. 4. Explain why God s covenants are binding. Close With These Lesson Truths: 1. God s covenants show us that He loves us. 2. God will always provide for us. 3. God will never break His covenants with us 19

22 Yeshua In The Covenants Lesson 1 Study Sheet Page 2 Life Application: Using a brown grocery sack, make a scripture scroll to share with your family and friends. On the sack find an area without any printing. Cut a long, rectangular piece of paper from that area. Color your paper with a delightful picture. Write the scripture from today s lesson on your scroll. Roll up the paper and tie it with a colorful ribbon or cord. As you share your scroll with your friends and family, tell them that the scroll reminds you of God s words spoken to Noah in Genesis 6: 18. My Notes: 22
