Isaac Bible Crafts for Sunday School Kids

Isaac was the promised son of Abraham and Sarah.

God had told Abraham that he would have a large family, but Abraham and Sarah grew old without having a child. From a human point of view, the promise seemed impossible.

Then God kept His word.

Sarah gave birth to a son, and Abraham named him Isaac. His name was connected with laughter because Sarah had once laughed when she heard that she would have a baby in her old age.

Isaac’s birth reminded Abraham and Sarah that God’s promises do not depend on what seems possible to people.

Abraham and Sarah Have a Baby

When Isaac was born, Abraham was one hundred years old and Sarah was ninety.

Sarah said that God had brought her laughter and that everyone who heard about the birth would laugh with her.

Isaac was not simply a long-awaited baby. He was the child through whom God’s promise to Abraham would continue.

His birth became an important part of the story of God’s covenant family.

Abraham and Isaac

When Isaac was older, God tested Abraham.

God told Abraham to take Isaac to a mountain and offer him there. Abraham obeyed and travelled with Isaac to the place God showed him.

Isaac noticed that they had wood and fire, but no lamb for the offering.

Abraham answered that God would provide.

At the final moment, God stopped Abraham. Abraham saw a ram caught nearby and offered it instead.

Abraham named the place “The Lord Will Provide.”

For children, the main focus should be that Abraham trusted God and that God provided what was needed.

Rebekah Waters the Camels

When Isaac grew up, Abraham sent his servant to find a wife for him.

The servant travelled to the land where Abraham’s relatives lived and stopped near a well.

He prayed that God would guide him. He asked that the right young woman would offer him water and also volunteer to water his camels.

A young woman named Rebekah came to the well.

She gave the servant water and then drew enough water for all the camels.

This was a generous act. Camels drink a great deal of water, so Rebekah’s offer required time and effort.

The servant understood that God had answered his prayer.

Rebekah later travelled back with him and became Isaac’s wife.

Isaac the Peacemaker

Later in life, Isaac became very successful.

The Philistines became jealous of him and filled in the wells that Abraham’s servants had dug.

Isaac moved away and dug the wells again.

Each time Isaac’s servants found water, other herdsmen argued that the well belonged to them.

Isaac did not continue every dispute.

He moved on and dug another well.

Finally, he found a place where no one argued with him. He named the well Rehoboth, saying that the Lord had made room for them.

God later appeared to Isaac and said:

“Do not be afraid, for I am with you.”

— Genesis 26:24

Isaac’s story shows children that making peace does not always mean winning every argument. Sometimes strength means refusing to let a conflict keep growing.
