The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant Ask: Have you ever had a friend that said something that hurt your feelings? Maybe a brother or sister who broke your favorite toy? Even if they say that they’re sorry it can be really hard not to be angry with them or to make them pay for what […]
The parable of the Good Samaritan Ask: Who is someone you love? (Let kids answer and affirm them) Those are good answers. It is easy (most of the time) to love these people, isn’t it? They are family or friends, they like some of the same things we do and they love us, too. But […]

Calming the Storm Ask: When was a time that you were very afraid? What did you do when you were afraid? Show me your best “fear” face. When we are afraid it can be easy to forget about who Jesus is and his promises to us. We might even wonder if Jesus knows we are […]
Love One Another Ask: What are some characteristics of each animal? Great job! Animals are very different from each other. We can identify them by the way they look, by the way they act, and, yes, even by how they smell. Did you know that there is a way for people to know […]
