On the Mountain with God (Exodus 24:9-18) Printable Bible Lesson & Sunday School Activities

Mountains are incredible places and can be inspirational for Christians seeking deeper faith. The Bible contains many significant stories involving mountains, and this lesson highlights one of them. God often met people in unique places and made or renewed covenants there. However, mountains aren’t the only way to grow closer to God. He is everywhere! His presence is everywhere, and we don’t even need special equipment to access it!

Children are literal thinkers and might often wonder how or where to “find” God, imagining that perhaps He is in the sky or church buildings. It’s helpful for them to realize that we do not need to go somewhere or do anything special to be in His presence. God is always with us! He’s not just in a cloud or on a mountaintop. Because of the blood of Jesus, we have direct access to God, and He wants to hear from us as His beloved children.
