Bible Story:
2 Kings 15:8-31Israel wanted a king, even though God warned them that an earthly king would do much evil. The people of Israel did not pay attention to God’s warnings, and instead kept insisting that God give them a king. These kings became increasingly more evil with every generation, and they continually rejected God. Their sin harmed the people around them and hurt many entire generations.

Fall: Review
Everything was perfect in the world until we broke it. When humanity chose to sin, the world that was once perfect became messed up and broken. Sin is ultimately a rejection of God Himself. Because of sin bad things happen, we experience all types of pain, and death has come into the world. All of creation groans and wishes that the world be perfect and good like it was before.

Every child should want:
- Their family to be made new by Christ.
