Rebellion Against God

Send us Fan MailKorah is unhappy that he is not a priest, so he convinces Dathan, Abiram, and many leaders to challenge Moses and Aaron. Moses prays and tells everyone to bring bowls of incense so God can show whom He has chosen. The next day, God stops the rebellion: the ground opens under the ringleaders, fire falls on the 250 men with incense, and a disease spreads among the crowd until Aaron runs with his incense to save the people. Finally, God makes Aaron’s walking stick blossom with flowers and almonds so everyone knows He chose Aaron to serve. This story teaches why jealousy is dangerous, why God’s work is holy, and how He wants us to trust His choices with humble hearts. Talk about it:Why was Korah unhappy, and what did he want?How did Moses and Aaron respond when people were angry?What did Aaron’s blossoming stick show everyone?What is one way you can show respect for the leaders God has placed in your life this week?Visit our website: kathyskidsstorytime.orgWe’d love to hear from you.To reach us quickly, click the “Send us a text” link at the top of the episode description.Or write to us by mail:Kathy’s Kids StorytimePO Box 44270Charlotte, NC 28215-0043
