To engage the learners in a study of the Scripture text:
Distribute copies of the “God, the Covenant Maker” exercise from the activity page, which you can download here. Have learners work in small groups to complete as indicated. Encourage groups to share their responses as a part of your whole-class discussion.
Call the groups together and discuss Jacob’s if-then statements. Ask: “Was Jacob’s response one of faith or doubt? Why?”
To encourage personal application:
Distribute copies of the “Looking Back to Look Forward” activity from the activity page. Have learners work with a partner before discussing conclusions with the whole class.
After the activity, end the lesson with a prayer that learners will be aware of God’s presence and work in their lives.
