Key Themes in the Unit 4 Flip Chart (Promises from God)

The flip chart and lessons emphasize:

• God Keeps His Promises: Even when it seems impossible (like Sarah having a baby), God fulfills His word.
• God is Sovereign: God calls, guides, and protects His people (e.g., in the life of Abraham and the story of Job).
• Faith vs. Sight: Abraham often had to trust God's promises rather than what he could see.
• The Messiah Promise: The covenant with Abraham (blessing to all nations) is a direct line to Jesus Christ. 

The Unit 4 flip chart includes colorful, large illustrations on the front to help young children visualize these, while the back contains lesson notes for the teacher.
