Moses and the Bronze Serpent

Theme: Disobedience

Biblical Basis • Numbers 21:4-9

God had saved his people from slavery in Egypt and had brought them through the Red Sea and into the wilderness, where he took care of their daily needs. But the people still murmured and complained. God responded to their sin in a unique and powerful way.

Lesson Prayer

Patient Father, you see our disobedience and our desire to be in control of our own lives. Forgive us, we pray, for all the times we worship false gods, including our idolatry of self. Help us to cling to you and your promises, that we would never stray from your company. Thank you for your gift of forgiveness when we fail. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
