Easter Sunday school

The Tomb is

Empty!

 

Praise God, what a blessed Easter indeed. The tomb was empty He rose again! 

This week in Sunday school the children and I went over prayers and concerns and moved onto learning the Lord's Prayer. They are really getting it down pat. 

I found this wonderful version of the Easter story by Max Lucado (and who doesn't love Max) the story was wonderful and I think each age group could glean something from it. I absolutely love the rich illustration. 

We spoke about the story afterward and talked about resserection power. The power of Christ through the Holy Spirit whom lives in us when we except Christ as our savior. I had the children go on a egg hunt around the room. They found eggs with popcorn kernels inside. 

 

I proposed the question... 

does it have a heartbeat?

Is it alive?

What else can you tell me you observe from this simple kernel of corn? 

God put the power for this simple kernel of corn to pop into

 

(Then we opened another egg and had the popped corn)

This lovely fluffy white edible treat. 

The power of God inside us is similar.  When we use the power that Gods put inside us, we can do amazing things for his kingdom. 

 

We handed out little treat bags with a reminder that they have the resurrection power inside them. To not forget Gods love , how he gave His Son to die for us so we too could partake in the power of the Holy Spirit. 

“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53:5‬ ‭NIV‬‬

 

Happy Easter 

The last supper

We talked about the last supper in Sunday school class this week. 

These are just my kids we did have 6 total today in Sunday school. We enjoyed taking the lords supper and learning what it stands for. I also gave the children an opportunity to come to Christ and ask Him into their hearts. 

 

Afterwards the children did a feet washing craft and we talked about that Bible story and what it means. 

The last supper

Jesus washed the disciples feet and told them they should do the same for one another. 

“So if I, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet as well.”

JOHN 13:14 AMP

Jesus washing his disciples feet showed that even though He was and is the king of kings He was a Servant and wanted to teach us how to serve and love one another. He also is showing us that once you are saved. Once you ask Jesus into your heart your heart is clean of sin. You are his. But we do need continual cleansing from the effects of living in the flesh in a sin-cursed world. The continual washing of sanctification is done by the power of the Holy Spirit, who lives within us, through the “washing of water by the Word” (Ephesians 5:26), given to us to equip us for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16–17)

Hope everyone has a Happy Easter!

Parable of the sower

Parable of the sower 

 

Today we are talking about the parable of the sower. 

The Bible shares many parables about life as a Christian but none so clear about the different walks of Christian paths we all have the choice to take. 

When we becom born again it's an amazing thing. We are made new through Christ Jesus and nothing can take that away from us. The journey just starts there though. The Bible warns us that we will indeed see troubles. This parable shows us the different ways the devil try's to stunt our growth in faith. 

I wanted the children to know that their foundation is so important to their walk. We want to plant this beautiful seed of Christ in our hearts so it can grow and yield many many more for the kingdom of God. 

 

As usual I found some great resource's online that so would like to share here for others to use. 

free printable

 

I used this as a read along and a take home page for the children. It helped keep them engaged in the story and the little ones can follow along with the photos. 

We also watched this video. 

There are many different videos on the web but I liked this one the most. It's clear and fun. The characters are cute and easy to understand. 

For our craft we used water bottles cut in half 

 

Filled them with dirt and planted pansey seeds in them. We talked about sharing the gospel with others and making sure our feet are firmly planted in Christ. 

I am chosen and called by God to produce fruit.

“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.” John 15:16
