Throughout His ministry, Jesus demonstrated His power over nature, sickness, evil and even death. He showed His power, but also that He was near to people in their darkest moments. This month kids will learn that though we live in a world broken by sin, Jesus is near to us and one day He will make all things new. Our lives and His work in our world are a work in progress.
Jesus is near when we are scared.
Mark 4:35-41
Jesus is near when we are lonely.
John 5:1-18
Jesus is near when we feel hopeless.
Mark 5:21-43
Jesus is near when we are sad.
John 11:1-44
Jesus surprised people throughout His whole ministry by doing things no one expected. The people expected the Savior to come as a warrior who would conquer their political enemies, but Jesus came as a king who would serve and love all people, focused on God’s kingdom, not the world’s kingdom. Kids will celebrate the greatest surprise of all – Jesus rose from the dead!
Jesus is king.
Luke 19:28-40, Matthew 21:1-11

Jesus ascended into Heaven, promising that a Helper would come. Days later, the Holy Spirit came to the disciples just as Jesus had promised! They were able to speak in other languages and preach. The church was born and many people believed. The Gospel began to spread from Jerusalem throughout the world
Jesus can be trusted.
John 20:19-31
Jesus is in heaven and will return.
Acts 1:1-11
The Holy Spirit lives inside followers of Jesus.
Acts 2:1-41
God is for us when the world is not.
Acts 6 & 7
As Jesus ascends into heaven, the disciples are left with the promise of the Holy Spirit and with specific instructions. The Holy Spirit is sent and received, as the disciples can suddenly speak different languages. People are confused by this power of God. Yet, the disciples are able to show how mighty God is as they share what God has done for them. This marks the beginning of the early church as thousands repent and decide to follow God.

After meeting Jesus, Paul was completely transformed. He went from hating Christians to preaching the Gospel wherever he went. He would be beaten, imprisoned and sent to stand trial in Rome. Paul was God’s messenger to the gentile, or non-Jewish, world. God used him to perform miracles and show His great power. No matter what, Paul would say that it was Christ working through him to spread the Gospel.
Jesus changes lives.
Acts 9:1-31
Only God is worthy of worship.
Acts 14:8-20

Much of the New Testament is comprised of Epistles, or letters that were written to the early Church. These churches were spread all around the Mediterranean. The epistles were authored by James, Paul, Peter, Jude and John. They were written to give encouragement, direction and doctrine to the early Church. There was a lot of confusion within the new churches about what they should be following. Jesus had only just died, risen and gone to heaven. Paul and John wrote to clarify how God loves unconditionally and calls us to do the same. We should look to Jesus to see the greatest example of love and humility.
God’s love is perfect.
1 Corinthians 13
Jesus showed us humility.
Philippians 2
Jesus is greater than all things.

Jesus will return one day.
1 Thessalonians 4-5, 2 Thessalonians 1-2
God’s love helps us love others.
