This week we will teach preschoolers the Main Idea, “Jesus Is the One to Follow.” In John 15:1-17, Jesus says that He is the vine, and we are the branches. When we stay connected to Jesus, He helps us grow in Him. We will teach preschoolers that we can share with others that knowing and growing in Jesus is the best goal for our lives, so Jesus is the One to follow.

Sprouts

We are teaching kids from John 15 this week. In our Bible story, Jesus told His followers that He is the “vine,” and we are the “branches.” When we stay connected to and remain in Him, we bear fruit that points others to God. Kids will learn God’s plan and purpose for us is the same as it was for the disciples—to connect with Him, trust and follow Him daily, love one another, and share Him with others.

This week our preschool Bible story will teach the Main Idea, “Jesus Is the Only Way.” In John 14:1-14, Jesus said that He is the way, the truth, and the life and that no one can come to God except through Him. Preschoolers will learn that a relationship with Jesus means a friendship with God. Jesus is the only way to have this relationship, so we can tell others that He is the only way.

SPROUTS:

Kids will learn this week that Jesus is the only way to have a relationship with God forever. In John 14:1-14, Jesus taught that He is the way, the truth, and the life. Brokenness in our lives and our world can lead to confusion about what is true and how we can have a relationship with God. Jesus made it clear that the only way to have a relationship with God is through Him. This is good news kids can share with others so they will also know the way to have a relationship with God.

When it comes to Jesus, kids can know they are here to Pass It On and share Jesus with others. This week, we will teach SPROUTS & ROOTED that they can share the truth that “Jesus Is God’s Only Son.” In John 10, Jesus told people He is the Good Shepherd. Jesus cares for, protects, and provides for His people the way a shepherd cares for his sheep. Jesus laid down His life for His sheep, meaning His followers, making the way for us to have a relationship with God. Only Jesus can do this because only Jesus is God’s Son. Kids will learn that Jesus, God’s only Son, is the only reason and way we can have a relationship with God. This is news worth sharing with others!

This week we are teaching SEEDLINGS that Jesus is God’s only Son. In John 10:1-18, Jesus told people He is the Good Shepherd. He came to take care of people and make a way for us to have a relationship with God. As preschoolers learn that Jesus came to love and take care of them, they can know that this is truth worth sharing with others.

Session 4 - Jan. 26

Hey Team,

SPROUTS

This week, we are teaching kids the story of Elisha and the army from 2 Kings 6:8-23. In this story, Elisha and his servant found themselves in a scary situation. They were in a city surrounded by the army of Aram, who was there to capture them. Elisha’s servant was confused, but Elisha prayed that God would open the servant’s eyes to see what was really happening. God did, and the servant saw that God’s own heavenly army surround the army of Aram! Kids will learn that God is faithful when they are confused.

SEEDLINGS

This week’s Bible story teaches preschoolers that God is faithful. In 2 Kings 6:8-23, a prophet named Elisha and his servant found themselves in a tough situation when an enemy army surrounded them. Elisha’s servant was worried and anxious, but Elisha knew God was faithful and would take care of them. Elisha prayed for the servant to see what was really happening, and God helped the servant see that a larger, heavenly army surrounded the physical army. Preschoolers can know that God is faithful, and He always cares for them.

Highlight of the Week

Session 4: God Is Faithful When I Am Confused

Read: 2 Kings 6:8-23 Highlight: 2 Kings 6:16-17

Reflect: Where in your life can you trust God more?

A)    I can trust that God is in control, even when things seem out of control.

B)    I can trust that God is good, even when my circumstances aren’t good.

C)    I can trust that God is right, even when others say He’s wrong.

Pray: Thank You God that, even when my life is confusing, I can trust You and know You are faithful. Help me to trust You no matter what.

Connect: How do you combat lies with the truth of God?
