Sodom and Gomorrah Craft

God had to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah in order to keep the evil there from growing any more and hurting even more people. This is the primary lesson behind the story. But this didn’t mean Lot and his family didn’t love their home in the city and grieve over having to leave it. Sometimes we grow to love things that aren’t healthy or good for us. When God calls us to leave behind that which is evil or unhealthy, we should look forward to His plan and purposes rather than looking back at what we’ve grown to love. This is part of what it means to love God more than the things of this world. This Sodom and Gomorrah craft will encourage kids to look to God in their lives rather than looking back or looking at circumstances in their lives.

Note: This free craft is also available as a downloadable PDF.
