 Jesus Calmed a Storm (Matthew 8; Mark 4; Luke 8)

STORY POINT

This is the main point to emphasize from today’s Bible story.

                    ●       Toddlers-Kindergarten: Jesus calmed a storm to show the disciples He is God.

                    ●       1st-5th Grade: Jesus calmed a storm to show the disciples He is God.

CHRIST CONNECTION

This is the big idea of how this week’s Bible story points to Jesus.

                    ●       Toddlers: Jesus is God's Son! He has power over everything. We can trust in Him to save us from our sins.

                    ●       Preschool/Kindergarten: Jesus showed He has power over nature. Jesus is God’s Son. He came to save people from sin. When we trust in Jesus, He forgives our sin and gives us life with God forever.

                    ●       1st-5th Grade: The disciples saw that Jesus has power over nature. He is the Son of God, the promised Savior. One day, Jesus would show His greatest power—not by calming a storm, but by dying on the cross and rising from the dead to save people from sin. Jesus saves everyone who trusts in Him.
