The Golden Calf

Watch the video above and talk about it with your family. Learn more

God gave Moses the ten commandments on Mount Sinai, but when he came off the mountain he was in for a big surprise!

Last time, we learned about the 10 Commandments and how God gave Moses some rules to bring back to the people so they would know how to treat God and other people. Well, while Moses was up on the mountain with God, the people grew restless. They decided that God was ignoring them and so they created their own god. They took metal and jewelry and melted it all together and created a cow to worship. Now, this sounds silly to us, right? After all God had done for them, like rescuing them from slavery and having food fall from the sky to feed them, they decided a cow was better than God. When Moses returned, he couldn’t believe what was happening. He was angry. Here’s the lesson. No thing or person should ever take the place of God. He should always be first. He loves us. He provides for us. He is the only one worthy of our praise and worship.

Key Points:

  • God gave Moses the 10 commandments on top of a mountain.
  • The Israelites got tired of waiting and made a golden calf to worship. Exodus 32:1-4
  • Moses reminded the Israelites there’s only one true God. Exodus 32:19-20
  • When you treat a silly thing like it’s God, you’re making a big mistake!

Memory Verse:

Exodus 20:3 You must not have any other god but me.

  3. What did God give to Moses on top of the mountain?
  4. What did the people make when Moses was away? Why did they do that?
  5. Read 1 Timothy 6:17. Why can’t our money or stuff make us happy? What does this verse tell us that God does for us?
