Weekly Leader Training for Preschool & Kids: Unit 9, Session 6—God Takes Sin Seriously
What comes to mind when you think about sin? Consider your emotions—does the thought of sin make you sad? Angry? Indifferent?

Weekly Leader Training for Preschool & Kids: Unit 9, Session 5—Eli's Sons Disobeyed God

Weekly Leader Training for Preschool & Kids: Unit 9, Session 1—The People Kept Sinning
In the Book of Judges, we see a cycle of sin, oppression, repentance, rescue, obedience, and then back to sin. The condition of man’s heart when left to himself will “do what is right in his own eyes” (Judges 21:25). Our own hearts lead us to sinful behavior that leads to enslavement to sin. Judges reveals who we are...
