Why Obedience Still Matters: Teaching Kids to Trust God Like Moses

In a world where kids are constantly encouraged to follow their feelings and go their own way, it’s more important than ever to teach the value of obedience to God. Not just because it’s right—but because it builds trust, character, and courage. That’s why we created “Obedience Matters: The Moses Mission”—a dynamic, Bible-centered children’s church curriculum that helps kids discover the power of obeying God, even when it’s hard.

The Power of the Moses Story

The story of Moses and the Ten Plagues is more than just frogs, hail, and locusts. It’s the story of a man who chose to trust God’s voice, even when he felt afraid, unqualified, and unsure. God didn’t use Moses because he was fearless—He used him because he obeyed.

In Obedience Matters: The Moses Mission, kids walk through the bold moments of Exodus 7–12, learning how God used Moses’ courage and obedience to change the course of history. Through storytelling, activities, and scripture, children begin to see that they too can follow God with confidence—no matter how big the challenge.

Why This Curriculum Works

This lesson was designed with both kids and leaders in mind. It’s flexible, fun, and packed with hands-on tools to reinforce the message. Here’s what’s included:

• A kid-friendly sermon structure with an engaging intro, story verse, life lesson, and real-world application.
• A Modern-Day Parable about a student who chooses to obey, even when it costs him popularity—offering real-life relevance.
• A unique and meaningful object lesson that gets kids up and moving as they explore what it means to trust and follow God’s direction.
• 10 Bible story Q&A to help with retention and comprehension.
• A set of 2 ice-breaker games and 4 indoor activities to keep kids energized and involved.
• 2 creative craft ideas that reinforce the story and give kids something to take home and remember the lesson by.

Making Obedience Real for Kids

When kids understand that obedience is more than just “doing what you’re told,” they begin to see it as an act of love and trust. Moses didn’t know how everything would turn out—but he chose to listen to God anyway. That’s a lesson our children can carry into their classrooms, friendships, and families.

Teaching obedience through the lens of Moses helps kids realize they’re not alone when they face tough choices. God walks with them, just like He did with Moses, and He equips them for every step.

Who This Is For

Whether you’re leading a large children’s ministry or teaching a small Sunday school group, “Obedience Matters: The Moses Mission” is designed to be adaptable and easy to use. It’s ideal for ages 5–11 and fits perfectly into Sunday services, midweek classes, homeschool Bible time, or even VBS.

Let’s help kids see that obedience isn’t about being perfect—it’s about trusting a perfect God.
