God wants all his people to know all his blessing - nobody is left out.
Read the passage to or with your children.
Numbers 27; 36
Memorize and recite this verse with your children throughout the

- 1 Peter 1:3-4
Watch the video below with your children.
Take time with your family to discuss these questions (or variations of these questions) together, and reflect on this week’s truth and Word.
How many of you had heard of Zelophehad before today? What are some things his story taught you about God? Is there any part of the Bible that isn't important? Why not?
TakeawayEvery story (and every word!) of the Bible is important because it's God's word.
Was it fair that Zelophehad's family would not receive any land since he didn't have a son? What happened when his daughters asked Moses if they could inherit their father's land? What does this show us about God?
TakeawayLike God, we should always be fair.
Did Moses know what to do when the daughters first came to him? Whom did he turn to for help? Whom should we turn to first when we need help? Do any of you have a story where God helped you?
TakeawayGod can help us when we don't know what to do.
How do we receive Jesus's wonderful inheritance? How is this inheritance better than what the daughters received?
TakeawayOur inheritance in heaven will be awesome.
As your family reflects on the truths you learned in this week’s lesson, pray together.
Here are some questions to get you started...
- What did I learn about God that I can praise Him for?
- What sins and weaknesses can I confess to God?
- What promises can I thank God for?
