Story
Say: Today’s story is from the
New Testament of the Bible. The story is
about a man named John. John wore weird
clothes, ate strange food, used water a different way, and had an important
message to give people from God. When
you hear me talk about John’s clothes say “itchy scratchy!” If you hear me talk about something he hate
say “ew, yuck!” The most important thing
in the story is the message that john gave the people
Read “John the Baptist” in any children's bible giving time
for the students to respond when needed
Lesson
Say: What was
unusual about John? (his clothing and food)
How did John get people’s attention (He shouted) What was the important
message from God that John delivered to people? (Jesus is coming) Who tells you about Jesus? (Give kids time to
answer) Who can you tell about Jesus?
(Give them time to answer) John knew how
important it was to tell other people about Jesus. Is it important for us to tell people about
Jesus? (yes) That’s right! Just like John the Baptist, we can be like
arrows and point people to Jesus.
Memory Verse
As Jesus walked by John said “Look! There’s the son of God! - John 1:37
Big Idea
Just like John the Baptist, we can be like arrows and point
people to Jesus.
Music
Pick a song or two from a kids worship DVD
Prayer
Take a minute to see if the children have any prayer
requests or prayer joys. Say a short
prayer thanking God for loving us and sending us his son and asking Him to help
us to point others to Jesus.
