No Prep Plans: Genesis – Lot & Sodom-(Choices & Morality Debate) Grades 6-8

No Prep Plans: Genesis – Lot & Sodom
Bible Study + Group Project (Choices & Morality Debate)
Grades 6-8

Explore one of the most thought-provoking accounts in Genesis as students examine Lot's choices, Abraham's generosity, and Abraham's powerful intercession for Sodom through research, discussion, and a collaborative debate project.

Students investigate Genesis 13, 18, and 19 to discover how seemingly small decisions can shape the course of a person's life. Through a Choices & Morality Debate Board, they analyze the consequences of Lot's decision to settle near Sodom, consider Abraham's example of selfless leadership and prayer, and apply biblical principles to modern-day situations involving peer influence, character, and wise decision-making.

As part of the No Prep Plans: Old Testament Series, this resource is ideal for Christian schools, homeschool programs, Bible classes, youth groups, and church education settings, encouraging students to think critically while engaging deeply with Scripture.
