Central Truth: We must honor God by obeying his commands.
Scriptures: Leviticus 10:1-11
When God gave Moses the laws and the pattern for the Tabernacle, he also gave him instructions for establishing the priesthood. Aaron was appointed as High Priest and his sons and their descendants were given the responsibility for the priesthood. All other Levites were in charge of the Tabernacle and its furnishings. The priests were anointed by God.
Nadab and Abihu were the sons of Aaron. They put fire and incense in their censor and offered before the God, but it was strange fire which God did not command. As a result, God devoured Nadab and Abihu with fire and they died. God told Moses that those who came before him must be holy or they cannot come near.

To help the story to come alive for the children, I put together an interactive display for the story of Moses. Each week, something new is either revealed or added or taken away. This time, I took away two of Aaron's sons from the Tabernacle complex and discussed the Priestly garments.
We also had a little fun playing jeopardy:
