LET’S THINK ABOUT IT
Read Exodus 20:1-3
God used his almighty power to rescue the Hebrew people from slavery in Egypt. Read about this in Psalm 105:26-38
God uses his almighty power to rescue us from our slavery to sin. Read about this in Romans 6:16-18, 23
God wanted to take care of the people of Israel and give them everything they needed. Read about this in Psalm 105:37-45
But God’s people decided to ask to other gods for the things they wanted. Read about this in Psalm 81:8-12. Why do you think they did that?
What did God do when his people deserted him for other Gods? Psalm 81:12
Just like in the story about Jackson, the other ‘gods’ required payment from the people of Israel for the use their powers. Sometimes it would be gold or cloth or the sacrifice of an animal. Sometimes they even required human sacrifice.
How is God different from the other gods in the Bible story or the other spirits in Jackson’s story? Romans 8:31, 32
Why did Jackson decide to buy the Indian medicine even though he knew about God?
Have you ever been tempted to ask other spirits to do things for you?
Read about the decision that the people of Israel needed to make. Joshua 24:14-180
What is the decision Jackson needs to make? Is the evil thing in Jackson’s room still there? How will Jackson get rid of it?
