From Sunday School December 29: 

CHRIST CONNECTION

This is the big idea of how this week’s Bible story points to Jesus.

• Babies & Toddlers: Moses was not able to meet all the people’s needs. Jesus met our need to be rescued from sin by dying on the cross and coming back to life.
• Younger Preschool: Moses was a good leader, but only Jesus can hear and answer all our prayers. Jesus helped us in the best way. He saved us from our sins by dying on the cross and coming back to life.
• Older Preschool: Moses was a great leader, but he was not able to meet all the needs of the people. Jesus is able to hear and respond to all of our prayers. Jesus met our need to be rescued from sin by dying on the cross and coming back to life.
• Kids: Moses was a great leader, but he was just a man. He was not able to meet all the needs of all the people by himself. Jesus is fully man and fully God. He is able to hear and respond to all of our prayers, and His death and resurrection provides salvation to everyone who trusts in Him.
