Plenary:
•
Draw a life journey for Abraham and Sarah. This involves drawing a line
and writing or drawing the main incidents of their lives. It can be drawn in
any shape.
Abraham hears God
voice. He is willing
to listen and obey.
He makes a covenant
with the Lord. He
must have great
faith.
Abraham does not want
to cast out his 1st child.
Abraham is put to the
test. He has faith in God
so strong to sacrifice
Isaac. God has spared
his life and Abraham is a
trustworthy leader.
Can God really
turn back the
time for Abraham
and Sarah. She
doubts because
she is so old.
Great joy, a miracle of
God. Something they
have been waiting for
all their lives.
