Unit 6, Lesson 2 – God’s Promise to Creation
Abram and Sarai were faithful believers in God, but they had not been blessed with children of their own. God promised Abram that he would be the father of many generations—more people than stars in the sky or grains of sand on a beach! As a sign of that promise, God changed Abram’s name to Abraham. We remember that God blessed Abraham to be the ancestor of all God’s followers.
Key lessons:
- God keeps God’s promises, even when we don’t
- God promised that Abraham would be the ancestor to many generations
- We can promise to make decisions that benefit the generations yet to come!

This year in Lent, we’ll be focusing on God’s key promises in scripture. In Lent, we remember and regret how we often break promises or let ourselves, one another, and God down. We learn that God forgives us and that God always keeps God’s promises to us. Each week, we’ll make a promise to God that we can grow into in the next forty days. We’ll also create something to share for our Youth Sunday service on Sunday, March 21. There are many ways to be involved in leading the service!
