Sodom and Gomorrah
Main Points to Remember
God is both just and merciful
Vocabulary:
brimstone: a mineral (or kind of
rock or dirt) that will catch fire
Prayer: Father, please help us keep separate from
the evil of the world around us
Activity: Make a pillar of salt from an old
clothespin. Glue cotton balls or rock salt to it. Make arms from white pipe
cleaners.
Discussion: Does God call the sin or the people
exceedingly evil? He calls the sin, or the actions, of the people evil. God did
hate the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah, but they hated God by sinning
against him, sinning against themselves, and sinning against other people.
Eventually their sin was so great that it cried out for justice. Just as the
evil in Noah's time caused a great flood. And just as the rebellion at the Tower
of Babel caused God to separate men. God will punish evil deeds done by
unrepentant men. But he will also save the righteous, even if there are just a
few.
Activity: Add Lot's family to a family tree that will develop as
the lessons progress. Have the students make generic paper people (like
Bible Friends).
Name them and post them on a board, using yarn or dots to connect the family
lines. A great source for OT family tree information is:
http://bible.ort.org/books/gened2.asp
How did God feel about the sins of the people? He was
angered and sorrowful
What prompted God to save the righteous, since they
were so few? his compassion and love
How did Lot react when the men of the city made their
demands? He was horrified
application questions
If we immerse ourselves in an evil culture, will it
affect us and our family? yes
Can we excuse sin that God feels is very evil? no
What's the difference between hating the sin and hating
the sinner? It is possible to be outraged and angered by someone's actions,
and still love that person. Love does not mean excusing their behavior. The
appropriate response is to try to help that person quit the behavior.
