THIS SUNDAY IN BIBLE SCHOOL

God's Law Brings the Jews to Repentance

Passage: Nehemiah 8–10
Principle: Believers respond to God's Word by turning away from sin and humbly depending on Christ.

Ask your child these questions:

How did the Israelites respond to Ezra reading God’s Word?
What covenant did the people make?

Help your child apply these truths in the following ways:

By rejoicing that God has given us His Word.
By repenting from sin and committing to obey God.
