Story
Say: How many of you have
ever been in a boat? (Wait for answers.)
It’s fun to be on a boat isn’t it? (Describe being on a boat. Perhaps you
have a nice story of your own.) Our story today is about one time when Jesus
and His Disciples went out in a boat on a great big lake.
Read “Jesus Calms the Storn" in any children's story Bible.
Lesson
Say: What was Jesus
doing when the big storm came up? (sleeping) How did Jesus stop the storm? (He spoke and
the water became calm. What do we need
to do when problems come in our lives? (trust Jesus and ask for His help)
Like the disciples, we
may not trust Jesus completely. We may become afraid and panic in moments of
fear. How can we learn to trust Jesus
more (take time for some answers). These
are all good answers! Romans 10:17 says,
“Faith comes from listening to this message of good news—the Good News about Christ.”
Reading the Bible and going to church are very important for many reasons.
God’s Word is so encouraging. God speaks to us through the Bible and gives us
strength and courage for every situation!
We need to trust God. We learn
to trust God by reading about Him in the bible.
Memory Verse
But when I am afraid, I put my trust in
you.
Psalms 56:3
Prayer
Take
time to see if children have any prayer requests or prayer joys. Say a
short prayer thanking God for protecting us and asking God to help us trust Him
more.
Craft
The
children will make a calming the storm craft
