THIS SUNDAY IN BIBLE SCHOOL

God Is Glorified by Protecting Judah

Passage: 2 Kings 18–19
Principle: God always will glorify His name.

Ask your child these questions:

What happened to the northern kingdom of Israel and why?
How did God answer Hezekiah's prayer?

Help your child apply these truths in the following ways:

By trusting God to do whatever will glorify His name.
By repenting of not glorifying God in actions and words.

Next Week: 2 Kings 21–25
