Suggestions for Effective Teaching . . .
SEEKERS FOR JESUS
Materials Needed: pens, paper, pictures of Solomon’s temple and Ark of the Covenant
STEP 1: Begin class with prayer — Open the class with a discussion about why churches and worshiping God are important to Christians.
STEP 2: Intro Activity — Show pictures of the original temple and explain the various items used in worship, especially the Holy of Holies and the Ark of the Covenant. Talk about the differences between what the temple had in it compared to what our churches have in them today.
STEP 3: Today’s Word — Ask for volunteers to read a different section of today’s lesson from the student book. Ask if they ever attended an event like Passion or Winter Jam and have them share their experiences. Have them compare their experiences to what was studied today. Ask students how worshiping God is being obedient. Share that just as the cloud symbolizing the presence of God appeared before the people, we also experience God’s presence when we worship. Share that the people prepared themselves for worship as they made sacrifices to God. Ask what we can we give to God today to experience God’s presence. Give suggestions like all of our attention
and our dedication to His purpose.
STEP 4: Consider This — Read and discuss the Consider This section in their student books. Explain how the story relates to today’s lesson.
STEP 5: Closing — Read the Last Thoughts section together to review the lesson. Invite them to share experiences when they felt the presence of God during worship. Take prayer requests and close the class in prayer.
TEEN SCENE
Materials Needed: pens, paper, picture of Solomon’s temple, diagram and information of the Ark of the Covenant
STEP 1: Begin class with prayer — Open the class with a discussion about how the church and worship help our faith grow.
STEP 2: Intro Activity — Briefly review the history of God’s people from slavery in Egypt to the place where King Solomon would finally build a permanent temple to worship God. Because of all they experienced, the building of the new temple was indeed a time to worship. Review the temple sections, noting how the people were not allowed inside the Holy of Holies.
STEP 3: Dissect and Digest — Ask for volunteers to read a different section of today’s lesson from the student book. Allow time for discussion. Share that there was no personal access to God like we have today. God was revealed to the people by the priests or a prophet. Explain that when Jesus died on the cross, we were given the option to have direct access to God. Ask how we experience God’s presence when we worship today. Share with the class that true worship can only be done with a pure heart when one’s mind is on focused on God. Encourage students to put away things that may distract them while they are worshiping God and experiencing His presences.
STEP 4: Heart of the Matter — Read and discuss the Heart of the Matter section for today’s lesson. Explain how the story relates to today’s lesson.
STEP 5: Closing — Close with prayer, asking God to help students to prepare their hearts to worship God so they may experience his presence.
— Lesson Overview —
Introduction
When God freed His people from Egypt, He led them through many years of suffering and battles on the way to the promised land. They journeyed onward, seeking to become the people that God wanted them to be. The people were led by Moses, and God appeared to them as a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. This was the only visible presence of God. Later, God would give His children specific instructions for a temple. The Ark of the Covenant served as the visible presence of God as He communicated with them because the Ten Commandments were kept there. The first temple—called the tabernacle—was a tent that went with the people. When they settled and established Jerusalem and David became king, his desire was to return the Ark back to God’s people. But the Ark continued to be housed in the temporary tabernacle. David wanted to build a permanent structure for the people for worship, but he was not allowed to build the temple. His son, Solomon, would be given the honor.
Help your students understand how seriously God’s people took this time of worship. Most of the worship was for reflection on how much God had done for them. Challenge the students to reflect on what God has done for them when they worship.
I. The Ark of the Covenant Returns Home (1 Kings 8:1–4)
When Solomon became king, he remembered the promise God had given his father, King David: that he would build a permanent temple for God. He sought out the best skilled craftsmen and builders to construct the most spectacular house of worship. He gave them the instructions for building the temple. Every detail had to be done according to the instructions given by God. When the temple of the Lord was built, King Solomon brought in the things his father David had dedicated. All the silver and gold furnishings were placed in their proper places. Now that the temple was completed, it was time to bring the Ark home.
There were specific instructions for handling the Ark, so Solomon summoned all the elders of Israel, all the heads of the tribes, and all the chiefs of the Israelite families to participate in the ceremony. This special chest meant a lot to God’s people, so Solomon planned a grand celebration.
When all the elders arrived, the priests took up the Ark along with the curtains and all the sacred furnishings for the new temple. King Solomon, along with the entire assembly, proceeded to bring the Ark inside the temple. There was music, singing, and many animal sacrifices to God. It was a celebration the people had never experienced before.
