God is Almighty (Judges 7) Lesson #1

in What is God Like?
January 21, 2019 by Bethany Darwin
When you think about what you want your children to learn at church, what’s
the first thing that pops into your mind? We’ve all been there. With so much
truth in the Bible where do we start? Why not start where the Bible starts. No,
not necessarily creation, but GOD.

Who is God? What is God like? What does God do?

+-
C.H Spurgeon once said, “The highest science, the loftiest speculation, the
mightiest philosophy, which can ever engage the attention of a child of God, is
the name, the nature, the person, the work, the doings, and the existence of
the great God whom he calls Father.”
Through this series of 42 lessons we’ll be introducing children to fullness of
God’s character one attribute at a time. Most churched children will tell you
that God created the world, or He rescues His people, or even that Jesus
came to earth to rescue God’s people, but the goal of these lessons is for
them to begin to know more of who He is and what it means to worship Him
for who He is.

LESSON OUTLINE:
Take a few minutes to introduce this new study and explain that each time you

who God is and what He is like.

TEACH- GOD IS ALMIGHTY:

Start out the teaching time by reading the first part of Genesis 18:14 (Is
anything to hard for the Lord?). Ask the kids how they would answer that
question. Have them name some things that they know that God has done
that would be too hard or even impossible for people. (With younger groups
you may want to be prepared with answers to this question to share with
them.

52-WEEK CURRICULUM FOR 2024

Show the word “Almighty” on the poster and explain that this morning we’re
talking about the truth that God is Almighty.
Read Judges 7:1-8 as a group and have a few of the kids act out what you
are reading while you are reading. Then, fill in the details in the story in your
own words from Judges 6-7.
Tell the kids that this story comes from the book of Judges and remind them
that Judges was about the time period after God had led His people into the
promised land, but that during this time they stopped following God and God
judged them for the sin and then when they would repent God would send a
judge (or leader) to rescue them, and that Gideon was one of the judges that
God sent to rule over His people.

Include the following points in your review of the story….

 God promised Gideon that He would defeat the Midianties using Gideon
 Gideon gathered up 32,00 men of Israel to go out and fight the
Midianties.
 God didn’t want or need that many men to fight the battle. He was going
to fight the battle for them. He didn’t want them to think that they were
winning the battle in their own strength, He wanted them to know that
the battle would be won in His power
 (this is the section that was read and acted out) So God sent them down
to the river to get a drink and He told Gideon to chose the men who
lapped up water from the river like a dog….this was only 300 men. God
told Gideon that He would win the battle for them with only these 300
men.
 Read Judges 7:15-25 – So God won the battle for them with only 300
men. They could see that they won only because God is all
powerful….or ALMIGHTY.
DEFINE AND REMEMBER:
To help the kids remember this truth about God, take a few minutes to define
the attribute.

52-WEEK CURRICULUM FOR 2024

ALMIGHTY = Having absolute power or all powerful

Since motions & actions help kids remember, choose an action for
ALMIGHTY. A good motion might be to make strong arms (flexing muscles).
Ask kids to give examples from Scripture of times that they see this attribute
of God. You might want to be prepared with a few examples of your own by
asking questions like:
(1) Who shut the lions mouth to protect Daniel? or
(2) How did God lead His people out of Egypt? or
(3) How did God give the people the city of Jericho?

To help solidify this truth in the minds of the kids in your group, read these
passages together – or have kids taking turns reading a passage to the group.

Genesis 1:1-5, Genesis 7:17-8:1, Genesis 21:1-7, Exodus 14:21-31, Job 38:4-
24, Matthew 8:23-27, John 11:25-44.

52-WEEK CURRICULUM FOR 2024

After each passage, have one of the kids explain how that passage teaches
us that God is almighty. Ask what does God do in this passage to show His
power?
MEMORY VERSE:

Read the memory verse (Isaiah 14:27) off the poster a couple of times and
have the kids do the motion for the word almighty.
CROSS CONNECTION:
Help the kids to make the connection between God being almighty and the
work that Jesus did on the cross. Explain (or remind the kids) that God saved
the Israelites with only 300 men to show His power and to make sure that the
Israelites knew that salvation was through God alone. God wanted to make
sure that no one could boast in their own strength or think that they had fought
the battle on their own. The same is true for us when we think about salvation.
Ephesians 2:8 tells us that salvation is a gift from God because of His grace,
not something that we can do on our own. The only way we can be saved is to
be like Gideon and trust in God’s plan to save us through the death of Jesus
in our place.
REVIEW:

Give each child a blank piece of paper provide markers or colored pencils.
Encourage them to write the word almighty somewhere on the paper and then
write or draw something to help them remember this attribute of God. They
could write the definition for almighty or the memory verse or they could
illustrate the verse or the story of Gideon or any of the other passages you
read about God being almighty. After a few minutes, bring the group back
together and give kids time to share what they have drawn or written.

PRAYER:

52-WEEK CURRICULUM FOR 2024

Praise the almighty God for the way we saw Him rescue His people in this
morning’s story and ultimately for the way we see Him rescue His people
through the death of Jesus.
