Each week, kids of all ages will follow a chronological timeline of Bible events, all the while learning how each story points to the gospel of Jesus Christ.Exile and Return teaches kids that God's people were sent into exile due to their sin, but God sustained them, brought them home, and helped them rebuild the temple. God's provision is shown through accounts of Esther and Nehemiah.Even after their return home, the Israelites continue struggling to obey God, and Malachi warns them not to be lazy in their worship of Him. Two sessions include a special focus on Christmas.
