Each lesson begins and ends with prayer. Consists of a Bible story reading and a golden verse. The various activities include game elements, warm-ups, songs and poems, and creative assignments.

Lesson 1

Section: Creation. FIRST DAY

PRAYER:“Thank You, Lord, for this day that You have created. Thank you for the light that our eyes see. Teach us and help us in everything. In the name of Jesus. Amen".

GOLDEN VERSE: The golden verse of this section is found in Acts 17th chapter verse 24: "God who made the world and all that is in it." First, so that the children can remember easily, we will learn the words "God did everything." After a few lessons, when the children know the words "God did everything" well, you will begin to teach with them "... without Him nothing began to be."

The verse can be learned as follows: on three balloons you write one word of the golden verse. All children stand in a large circle... You give the first balloon to the child on your left and say the word "God." He passes the ball to the next child and says the same word, etc. While the children are passing the first marble to each other, you take the second and, having said the word "made", give the child to your left. He must pass the second ball, not forgetting to say the second word of the golden verse.

BIBLICAL STORY: DAY ONE

Everything we see was done by God. But once upon a time there was nothing. (Have the children close their eyes.) You cannot see anything when your eyes are closed or when the room is dark. For a very, very long time, there was nothing: no sky, no earth, no people, nothing. But God began to do. The Bible is the Word of God (show the children the Bible). The Bible says: "In the beginning God created (made) the heavens and the earth." But the land looked very different from what we see it today. It was impossible to see beautiful trees, bright colors, chirping birds, playing animals. You would not see a single person. Even the land was nowhere to be seen, because the entire surface of the earth was covered with water. But you would not have seen water either, because then there was no sun, no moon, no stars, and it was very dark. On the first day (show the children one finger.) God made light and separated it from darkness (when telling a story, you can use a flashlight to explain what light is and what darkness is). And it became light on the ground. It happened on the first day.

BOOKS: Have the children sit in a circle so that they can see you well. Show them the Children's Bible.

CRAFTING: Start making the Flower of Creation craft with your children today. Today the children will make a stand, glue the stem, core and petal to it with the number "1" painted on the upper side, and with the image of what God did on the first day on the lower (paint half of the petal yellowand the second in black). Have the children leave the crafts for the next lesson (be sure to sign the work). Make some "spare" crafts.

ENDING: End the session with a short prayer and sing a few praise songs.

Lesson 2

Section: Creation. SECOND DAY

PRAYER: “Thank You, Lord, for each day that You have created for us. Thank you for the light that our eyes see. We thank You for the sky and the water that You have made for Your children. In the name of Jesus. Amen".

WORSHIP: Sing with the children the song "God Created Great Mountains":

God made big mountains (Put your hands up as high as you can)

Both lakes and seas. (Move your fingers.)

The sun is round, big, (fold your arms to make a big circle.)

He gave an outfit to all the trees. (Standing on tiptoe, raise your hands up high.)

God created swimming fish, (Fold your palms and depict swimming fish.)

Birds and buzzing bees. (Move your arms like birds do their wings.)

And huge crocodiles, (Stretching both hands forward, show how the crocodile opens and closes its mouth.)

And big, big elephants. (Fold your hands in the lock on the back of your head and, moving your elbows and swinging from side to side, show the elephant.)

He separated the night from the day

God created both you and me. (Point to each other and then to yourself.)

GOLDEN VERSE: We will be teaching the words “God did everything” today. Give three children three balloons with the words of the golden verse. Give one child a safety pin (be very careful!). When all the children together "read" the word written on the first balloon, the child with a pin bursts it. And so on. Finally, have all the children repeat the golden verse in chorus.

BIBLICAL HISTORY: SECOND DAY

Review briefly lesson 1. After God made light and darkness, He divided the water so that the sky and the seas appeared. Did you know that clouds are made of water? (Have the children look out the window to heaven.) God did it on the second day. (Show the children two fingers.)

When telling a story, you can use water in a glass. Be careful that children do not wet their clothes.

BOOKS:Show the children again the pictures from the Children's Bible.

CRAFTING:Today the children will continue to make the "Flower of Creation" craft. Help the children who were absent from the last lesson do what you did last Sunday. Glue the second petal to the core. On the top side is the number "2", and on the bottom is what God created on the second day (divide the petal in half with a wavy line and paint over one half in blueand the second in blue). Make some spare petals for the absent children. The kids will leave the crafts again today to continue next week (all crafts must be signed on the bottom of the stand).

ENDING:

Lesson 3

Section: Creation. THE THIRD DAY

PRAYER: “Jesus, we love You with all our hearts. We thank You for everything You have done for us. Thank you for the land and the seas, for the trees and grass, for all the plants that we see. Amen".

GOLDEN VERSE: Ask the children if anyone remembers the golden verse we learned in the last two lessons (“God did everything”). Today we begin to study the 24th verse from the 17th chapter of the book of Acts of the Apostles: "God who created the world and all that is in it." In this lesson, we will only learn the first three words. Cut out footprints (footprints) from paper, each of which will have one word of the golden verse written on it. Stepping on footprints, you need to pronounce the written word.

WARM UP: Consider doing the following warm-up exercise with the children before you tell them the Bible story:

I have two hands

I can clap them:

Clap, clap, clap, clap!

(Clap our hands.)

I have two legs

I can stomp with them:

Top, top, top, top!

(We stamp our feet.)

My ears to listen (put your hand to your ear, as if listening.)

My pens to play.

And when they get tired

I'll put them to rest.

(Hands on your knees.)

BIBLICAL HISTORY: THIRD DAY

After God separated the light from the darkness, He separated the water and the sky and the seas appeared. This happened on the second day of creation. On the third day (ask the children to show three fingers) God created dry land (earth) among the seas and oceans. God looked at what He did, and he really liked it. "Very good and beautiful!" - said the Lord. “But there is nothing on earth. We need to create something on earth. I know what I will do. Let beautiful green grass and tall trees grow on the ground, on which delicious fruits - apples, pears, peaches, oranges, tangerines, a green carpet that the Lord Himself spread on the earth. When God saw all this, He was very happy. "How beautiful! Very good! I think that the person will also like it very much! " (You can show the children a piece of land and let the blades of grass, leaves, and a tree twig be touched.) On the third day, God created the earth, grass, plants and trees.

BOOKS:Using the Children's Bible, remind what was created on the third day.

CRAFTING: Glue the third petal to the core, on the upper side of which is painted the number "3", and on the bottom - what God created on the third day (draw earth with brown pencil, green grass and tree).

ENDING: Finish with prayer and sing the song “God Made Great Mountains” (See lesson 2).

Lesson 4

Section: Creation. FOURTH DAY

PRAYER: “Thank You, Lord, for this day that You have made. We thank You for the sun that shines for us during the day. We thank You for the moon that shines at night, and for all the stars that we can see in the sky when it's dark. Thank you Lord. Amen".

WORSHIP: Sing with the children the song "He holds the whole world in his hand":

He holds the whole world in His hand,

He holds the whole world in His hand,

He holds the sun and the stars in His

hand, (3 times)

He holds the whole world in His hand.

He keeps the rain and wind in His

hand, (3 times)

He holds the whole world in His hand.

He holds the mountains and the sea in His hand (3x)

He holds the whole world in His hand.

He holds little kids in His hand (3x)

He holds the whole world in His hand.

He holds dad and mom in His hand (3x)

He holds the whole world in His hand.

GOLDEN VERSE:Ask the children if anyone remembers the words we learned in the last lesson (“God Who Created the World”). Today we will continue to study this verse by adding the two words "... and that's it." We will teach in the same way as the previous time: when stepping on footprints (footprints), you need to pronounce the written word.

BIBLICAL HISTORY: FOURTH DAY

Ask the children to think about what the Lord did on the first, second, and third days of creation. You can use the Craft Flower of Creation to make it easier for children to remember. On the fourth day (show the children four fingers), God created the sun, moon, and stars. The sun shone on the earth during the day, and the moon and stars gave light at night. When God saw what He had done on the fourth day, He said, "Very good!"

BOOKS:Have the children look at pictures in the Children's Bible and show what was created on the fourth day.

CRAFT: Children will continue to make the Flower of Creation craft. Make the fourth petal by writing the number "4" on the upper side, and drawing on the bottom what God created on the fourth day (on a blue background, draw the sun, moon and stars). Then glue the petal to the core.

ENDING: Pray and sing the song "He holds the whole world in His hand."

Lesson 5

Section: Creation. THE FIFTH DAY

PRAYER: “Thank you, Lord, for everything that you have created for your children. We thank You for the fish that we can see in rivers, lakes, seas and oceans. And thank you for the birds we can see in the sky. We love You, Dad. Amen".

WARM UP: Do the following warm-up exercise with the children before the golden verse and the Bible story. Maybe one of the children learned the words? Come up with your own word movements.

I will spread my arms wide

And then I will fold them.

And having placed them, my friend,

Make a little cotton.

Set wide again

I'll fold them quickly again.

And now they are tired

I'll put them to rest.

GOLDEN VERSE: Today we will learn the golden verse recorded in the 17th chapter of the book of Acts, verse 24: "God who made the world and all that is in it." Cut out three more footprints (footprints) from the paper, each of which will have one word of the golden verse written on it. As you step on the footprints and speak the written words, show the children an example of how they should go. Let the rest of the children help to pronounce the verse.

BIBLICAL HISTORY: FIVE DAY

The day after the Lord created the sun, moon and stars, He thought, “Everything is very beautiful. But there is no one alive on earth. I know what I will do! I will create someone alive today. " God first created fish and reptiles that live in water. And after that He created different birds. "Very good!" - said God when he saw what He created. (Show the children pictures of fish and birds from the Children's Encyclopedia.)

BOOKS: Have the children sit in a circle so that all children can see you well. Show them the Children's Bible and ask the children to show you what the Lord did on the fifth day. Ask the children questions by asking them what was created in the previous days. Reward the children with small prizes for the correct answers.

CRAFTING:We continue to do the craft that the children began to do in the first lesson. On the fifth petal from the bottom side, draw a fish in the water, and a bird flying above the water. The drawing should be very simple so that children can draw on their own. Some children will need your help.

ENDING: At the end of the lesson, pray and sing the two songs the children learned in this section.

Lesson 6

Section: Creation. SIXTH DAY

PRAYER:“Thank You, Lord, for the animals that You created for man. And we thank You that You created people like You. Thank you that I am like You, my Lord and my God. We love You and want to be like You even more. In the name of Jesus. Amen."

GOLDEN VERSE:Review with the children the golden verse found in Acts 17, verse 24, "God who made the world and all that is in it." Have the children put together a mosaic of the verse. To make a mosaic, take a piece of paper or cardboard, write the words of the verse on it and cut into several pieces of different shapes. After the children have assembled the puzzle, read the verse and have them “read” the words of the verse themselves.

BIBLICAL HISTORY: SIXTH DAY

Review briefly with the children everything that God created in the first five days of creation. After the Lord created fish and birds, He decided to create other animals as well. On the sixth day (show the children how many will be six, and ask them to show you the same number of fingers) He created all the animals that we can see. He liked them all very much. But there was no one like God. Therefore, He said: “I will create a person who will be like Me. With him I will be able to talk and be friends. " God created man out of the earth and named him Adam. When God saw everything He had done, He said: “Very, very good! Just great!".

BOOKS:Have the children sit in a circle so that all children can see you well. Show them the Children's Bible. Tell the children, "Please show me who God created on the sixth day."

A GAME: You can play with the children the following game: on the floor in front of the children there are six boxes (for example, shoe boxes or made of thick paper) with numbers from 1 to 6 written on them. These numbers represent the day of creation. You give the children six pictures showing objects created by God on different days. The task of the children is to put the picture in the correct box. Don't forget to reward all the kids who have played this game.

CRAFTING:Today the children will finish making the Flower of Creation craft. On the sixth petal, you need to draw some animal (for example, a cat) and a person (just outlines). Remind the children to take the crafts home at the end of the lesson.

ENDING: End the session with prayer and sing a few praise songs.

Lesson 7

Section: Creation. SEVENTH DAY

PRAYER:“God the Father, we are so grateful to You for the peace that You have made! You love us. You made everything so beautiful. We love You too. Please teach us every day. In the name of Jesus. Amen".

GOLDEN VERSE: Ask the children who remember the golden verse (“God who created the world and everything in it,”). Give the children small notes that will include a golden verse without the first word. The first word “God” should be written in dotted lines so that the children can trace the letters on their own. “Read” the verse with the children. Maybe one of the children can repeat the verse on their own?

A GAME:Before you play, remember with the children what day of the week it is. What will happen tomorrow? And the day after tomorrow? And so on. Play the game you played last week with the kids by adding the seventh box. There are seven numbered boxes (1 through 7) on the floor. These numbers indicate the day of creation. You give the children seven pictures of objects created by God on different days (in the seventh picture nothing is drawn, just a blank sheet of paper). Children should arrange pictures in boxes. You can play in turns so that all children have the opportunity to participate.

BIBLICAL HISTORY: SEVENTH DAY

Everything that appeared on earth was done by God. It didn't take him too long for that. On the first day, the Lord created light and darkness. In the second, God divided the water in such a way that the sky and the seas appeared. On the third day, He created dry land in the midst of water, and grass, plants, trees grew on this earth. On the fourth day, the sun, moon and stars appeared, which illuminated the earth. On the fifth day, the Lord created fish and birds. And in the sixth - all animals and humans. "Very good, just great!" - thought the Lord when he saw all of His creation. On the seventh day He did nothing, but rested. The Lord blessed this day and gave it to a person to rest. Therefore, we should not go about our daily activities on this day, but we should go to church and rest on Sunday.

CRAFTING: Make the Creation Cube craft with the children. Give the children the cutout with (child's name and date) signed in advance, and ask them to color it with crayons or crayons. Then bend at the folds. Put six peas inside the cube, which will remind the children how many days it took God created the world, and glue the cube. Let the children put aside the finished crafts. At the end of the lesson, remind them to take their work home.

ENDING:End the session with prayer and sing a few songs. At the very end of the lesson, reward each child for something special. For example: for a golden verse, for answering questions, for a craft, for diligence, for attentiveness, for accuracy, etc. Find something good in each of the children and praise them.

Lesson 8

Section: Noah. NOAH HEARED GOD

PRAYER: “Lord, we thank You for Your love for us. We thank You for Noah, who believed in You and obeyed You. We ask You, Lord, to help us always believe in You and be obedient to You in everything. In the name of Jesus. Amen".

GOLDEN VERSE:The golden verse for this section is found in Genesis chapter 6 verse 9. Children do not need to learn the entire verse. They will only learn the last words of the verse: "Noah walked with (before) God." You can play Pass the Package with your children.

BIBLICAL HISTORY: NOAH HEARED GOD

Some time after God created man on earth, people forgot God. They did evil and grieve the Lord. The strong hurt the weak. The rich humiliated the poor. People cheated, stole, and hated each other. It hurt God very much to look at all this. But there was one person who was different from the others. He lived honestly and was always fair. He loved God. Despite the fact that he was surrounded by evil, sinful people, this man acted as God wanted. People laughed at him, called him names, told lies and lies about him. But God, looking at him, rejoiced. This man's name was Noah.

Once God spoke to Noah and said something very important to him. God told him something that no man on earth knew. The Lord said to Noah: “Noah, build big ship (the ark). When the ark is ready, take a lot, a lot of food and bring different animals and your family into the ark. Heavy rain will begin soon and all living things will die from the water. Only those who are in the ark will survive. "

Noah always obeyed God. Therefore, even now he obeyed the Lord.

COLORING: Give the children a Noah Builds an Ark coloring page. Show the finished sample. Younger children may need help.

CRAFTING:Cut out the pieces of the ark. Have the children glue them onto a piece of paper or cardboard. To make this task more interesting for the children, make pieces of the ark out of paper of different colors. When the children are finished, have them draw clouds in the sky and water. Ask the children to retell the story to each other.

ENDING:

Lesson 9

Section: Noah. NOY BUILD AN ARK

PRAYER:“Lord, thank You for Noah. We want to hear Your voice as Noah heard You. We will obey You. In the name of Jesus. Amen".

GOLDEN VERSE: The golden verse for this section is “Noah walked with God” (Genesis 6: 9c). Explain to the children that walking before God means fearing God, respecting Him, honoring Him, and trying to please the Lord in all our actions.

Before the lesson, cut out the ark from a piece of paper, write the words of the golden verse on it and cut it into four parts. Have the children put together the mosaic and then read the golden verse to them. Let everyone repeat after you.

WORDS WITH MOTION:Have the children repeat the movements after the teacher and possibly learn the following words:

God said, “Listen, Noah!

Build an ark faster! "

(Show the “build” movements.)

In the morning, evening and afternoon

Hit Noah with a hammer.

(Show the hammering movements.)

And all the neighbors laughed

They said: "Ha ha ha!"

(Laugh: "Ha ha ha!")

Look Noah, the sun is shining!

NO RAIN ON THE STREET!

(Put your hand to your forehead,

as if protecting your eyes from sunlight.)

BUT OBEYED TO GOD NOAH,

(We show the movements "working with a hammer".)

He is building a big ark.

(Raise your hands up and spread wide.)

BIBLICAL HISTORY: NOAH BUILS AN ARK

Remind the children of the story from the previous lesson. The Lord loved Noah because he tried to live righteously and honestly. Noah walked with God. Noah did good and hated evil. Therefore, God told Noah to build an ark. The Lord told Noah what size the ship should be. The ark was supposed to have three floors, there should be a small window on top, and a door on the side. Noah tarred the whole ark with pitch, outside and inside. When the ark was ready, Noah brought different animals in pairs (twos) and took food (food) for them and for his family. Noah, his wife, their three sons and their wives were the last to enter the ark. Then God closed the door to the ark. Show the children the toy ark and ask them to name the animals they might see.

BOOKS: Have the children look at pictures in the Children's Bible and name the animals that Noah brought into the ark.

COLORING: Color the Animals Entering the Ark coloring page with your children.

CRAFTING:Make the "Ark" craft with the children: cut a small rectangle out of cardboard, onto which you then glue the matches (previously cleaned of sulfur). Glue them in such a way that you get the image of the ark. Write the word “NOAH” next to the ark.

ENDING: Pray and sing one or more songs

Lesson 10 Section: Noah. FLOOD PRAYER: “Lord, thank You for Noah and his family who loved You and served You. Help us to be brave like them and walk before You every day. In the name of Jesus. Amen". GOLDEN VERSE: The golden verse for this section remains the same: “Noah walked with God” (Genesis 6: 9c). Ask the children what it means to walk with God. If the children have not yet memorized the verse, learn it with a doll: the doll says the words of the golden verse, and the children repeat. WORDS WITH MOTION:Have the children repeat the movements and continuation of the poem after the teacher: And when the work was over (Fold your arms over your chest.) All the animals came running. (Join hands in pairs.) They entered the ark two by two (Move in pairs around the room.) And wait when it's time for them to swim. (Sit on chairs or floor.) God closed the door in the ark, No one could open it. (Clap your hands once.) Thunder struck and the rain went (Move your fingers to simulate rain.) Many days and nights he walked and walked. (Tap your fingers on the chair or floor.) BIBLICAL HISTORY: THE FLOOD When Noah, his family and animals entered the ark, God closed the door behind them. Seven days later, it began to rain for forty days. The water rose so high that even the highest mountains were covered with water for several meters. All living things have died on earth. Only Noah survived, his family and the animals that were with him in the ark. The water increased on earth for 150 days. Show the children the layout of the ark. BOOKS: Show the children the Children's Bible. Have a child briefly share a Bible story. MOSAIC: Show the children the Ark mosaic. Let them put it together. Ask the children to name the animals in the picture. ENDING:Sing the song (s) and end with prayer.

Lesson 11

Section: Noah. RAINBOW

PRAYER:

GOLDEN VERSE: The golden verse is “Noah walked with God” (Genesis 6: 9c). Ask the children who remembers the verse and can recite it by heart. Give the children four balloons each with a marker or felt-tip pen each one word of the golden verse. Children inflate balloons. After that, one of the children bursts the balls with a pin, having previously "read" the word on the ball. All other children repeat the words of the verse after him. At the end of the lesson, give out small prizes to those who have learned the verse.

WORDS WITH MOTION: Have the children repeat the ending of the poem with movements after the teacher. If the teacher remembers the words by heart, you can repeat the entire poem with the children.

But everyone who was in the ark

Our good God has miraculously preserved!

(Shake your head in the affirmative and say "Yes!")

And Noah prayed in joy: (fold your hands in prayer.)

"Thank you, Lord, that You are always with me!" (Everyone says "Amen!")

BIBLICAL HISTORY: RAINBOW

Let the children remember for themselves what they were told about in the last lesson. Soon the ark came to rest on high mountains. Noah opened the window and released the raven, but he soon returned. A few days later, Noah released a dove, which also returned. A few days later, when Noah released the dove, he brought a fresh leaf in its beak. And a few days later, Noah released the pigeon, but it did not come back. When the earth dried up, Noah, his family and all the animals left the ark. The first thing Noah did was the altar on which Noah sacrificed to God. He prayed and thanked the Lord for saving him and his family from the water. God loved Noah because he walked with the Lord.

BOOKS:Have the children look at a picture in the Children's Bible and share a Bible story.

COLORING: Give the children a Rainbow coloring page. Tell the children what colors to paint the picture with and help those who need your help.

CRAFTING: Make the Ark-2 craft with the children. Glue matches (previously cleaned of sulfur) in the form of a diamond (several layers) on the cardboard to make a voluminous ark. On top, make a roof of matches, putting a note with a golden verse in the ark in advance. Cut a window and door out of dark paper. Stick the window on top, and the door on the side of the ark.

ENDING:End the session with prayer and sing the song.

Lesson 12

Section: Obedience. ABRAHAM

PRAYER: “Lord, we are so grateful to You for every person who obeyed You. Thank you for the example of Abraham, who believed in you and went to a country that he did not know. Help us to be obedient to You in everything. In the name of Jesus. Amen".

GOLDEN VERSE: In this section, we will teach the following golden verse: “Obedience is better than sacrifice” (1 Samuel 15:22). Show the children the tent mosaic. It is very simple to make it: draw a tent on a piece of paper, paint it with crayons or crayons, write a golden verse on it and cut it into 5-6 parts. The children should put the puzzle together, and then read the golden verse to them several times. Have the children repeat after you. Explain to the children that Abraham and his wife Sarah, whom they will learn about today, lived in a similar tent (in other words).

BIBLICAL HISTORY: ABRAHAM

A long time ago there was a man who loved God very much. This man's name was Abraham.

One day God told Abraham to leave home and go to another country. God promised to take care of Abraham.

Abraham thought and thought. Leave your home? Leave the city where he lived? Leave friends? “I don’t know if I can,” thought Abraham. But he knew what he was going to do. “I will do what God says,” Abraham said. “I believe that God knows what's best for me. I believe in God."

So Abraham and his family packed their clothes and belongings and loaded the luggage onto the camels. They were ready for a long journey.

They said goodbye to all their friends and went. Abraham was perhaps a little afraid. Maybe he was a little sad. But he believed in God. He knew God would take care of them.

Abraham traveled with his family for many days. Finally they came to another country. The first thing Abraham did was build an altar and pray

God, thanking Him for His guidance. “Thank you, God, for your concern for us, for bringing us to this place. I know that you are strong and kind. We will always believe in You. "

CRAFTING: Make the Abraham craft with the children. Stick the strips on a sheet of paper in the desired sequence. If you place the strips correctly, you will have a drawing showing Abraham.

COLORING:Color the crafts you made with the children in this lesson. At the end of the session, remember to remind the children to take their work home.

ENDING: End the session with prayer and sing the song.

Lesson 13 Section: Obedience. AND SHE PRAYER: “Lord, thank You for Your protection and Your salvation, which You give to those who walk before You. We want to always please You and walk before You. Help us in this. In the name of Jesus. Amen". GOLDEN VERSE: We continue to teach the verse “Obedience is better than sacrifice” (1 Samuel 15:22). Make a whale mosaic using dark blue cardboard. Write the golden verse in bright marker on the front, and on the back draw the praying to Jonah. When the children repeat the golden verse after you, turn the mosaic over to the other side and show Jonah's drawing. Tell the children, "You will soon learn about this man named Jonah." BIBLICAL HISTORY: JONA Read the poem “Jonah” to the children and then tell the story in simple, understandable language. “Go Jonah, preach To Nineveh, ”so God commanded. The Prophet thought: “No, I will leave To Tarshish ... "- and he boarded the ship. Here he sleeps in the hold (it is quieter there), Suddenly - a storm. Luggage is thrown into the sea. And the captain said to Jonah: "You need to pray, not sleep." "Who are you? - questions were heard. - Where from? Speak quickly! " And the fugitive answered the sailors: “I am a God-worshiping Jew. I am the cause of this sorrow I shouldn't be here at all ... Let the abyss bury me - And the storm will stop howling. " And now the guilty Jew is overboard As an unnecessary thing, it flies ... A huge whale swam behind the ship, And the whale swallowed Jonah. Jonah swam for three days In a living and terrible ship - The cabin was a whale's stomach - And finally swam to the ground. The whale threw him on dry land - The Lord decided to save him ... How bad is it not to listen to the Lord And to sin by willfulness! BOOKS: Have the children sit in a circle so that they can see you well. Show them the Children's Bible and Jonah and the Whale. Ask the children to retell the Bible story using the pictures in the book. VIDEO: If possible, you can show the children the cartoon "Jonah". COLORING: Give the children the Jonah by the Sea coloring page. CRAFTING:Make a paper craft "Jonah" with the children. On the bottom side draw Jonah praying to the Lord. ENDING: End the session with prayer.

Lesson 15

Section: Obedience. JESUS \u200b\u200bNAVIN

PRAYER: “Lord, we thank You for every person obedient to You. Teach us every day how we can trust You. We want to obey You always and in everything. In the name of Jesus. Amen".

GOLDEN VERSE: “Obedience is better than sacrifice” (1 Samuel 15:22) is our golden verse. Build a fortress of blocks with the children. Walking around it, say all together the golden verse. Walk around Jericho several times all together and then one at a time. Give a small prize to the child who recited the verse.

BIBLICAL HISTORY: THE SENA OF JERICHON

When Moses died, Joshua became the leader of the Israelites. The Israelites approached the land that the Lord had promised them. They crossed the Jordan River, the waters of which parted before them like the Red Sea. The people crossed the Jordan land and camped on the other side. The city of Jericho was right in front of the people. Its high walls seemed impregnable. Joshua thought, "Lord, but how are we going to conquer this city and land?" The Lord turned to His faithful servant and said: “All people who can fight, let them go around the city once for six days. On the seventh day, go around the city seven times, blow your trumpets and let all the people cry out. After that, the city wall will collapse to the ground. " Joshua obeyed the Lord and did everything as God told him. Every day the men walked around the city. The enemies did not understand what was happening. Why are these Israelites walking around our city? Why don't they attack? But even if they attack us, they cannot do anything. We are protected by high city walls! A city like Jericho is unapproachable!

On the seventh day, the Israelites walked around the city seven times. After that, the seven priests sounded their trumpets, and the people shouted loudly. Suddenly the walls of Jericho began to shake and crumble. The Jericho people did not understand what was happening. The walls of their city shook and crumbled to their very foundations. The Israeli people rushed into the city and rushed inside from all directions. It was the first city to be conquered by the Israelites in the land of Canaan.

Poem "Jericho": Learn the following poem with the children. Give the children words to learn at home with their parents.

God's people walked around the walls

And he was silent, as if he was dumb.

Only their trumpets played loudly,

And the people in the city heard it ...

They walked around the wall for the seventh time,

They stopped ... and suddenly screamed.

The walls fell from the loud scream

And the trumpets were playing and people were shouting ...

And this cry was heard so far away

And the walls collapsed very easily!

But who, tell me, broke the walls?

Yes! Strong and Mighty God destroyed them!

CRAFTING:Do the Walls of Jericho craft with the children.

ENDING: Sing a few worship songs and pray.

Lesson 16

Section: Obedience. Elijah and the Ravens

PRAYER: “Lord, thank You for Your concern. You give us food every day. Teach us to be obedient to You, as Elijah was. Amen".

GOLDEN VERSE: We teach the golden verse - “Obedience is better than sacrifice” (1 Samuel 15:22). You can play the Pass the Package game.

POEM "Elijah": TRY TO LEARN WITH CHILDREN.

The Lord in His wisdom is high,

He sent food to the Prophet wonderfully:

Then a raven of meat will bring a piece,

That the poor widow will bake unleavened bread.

The hand of the Lord did not fail,

And the benefits from the earth have not yet been taken.

God Does Wonderful Works

And in our days. You just need to see them.

BIBLICAL HISTORY: VRONY

“Elijah, it won't rain on the earth for several years. The plants will dry up and there will be nothing to eat. Go to the stream of Choraf and stay there. I will take care of you, ”said God.

When Elijah came to the stream of Chorath, he was tired, hungry and thirsty. He drank from the stream. (Put your hands together and show how you drink from the stream.) Oh, what delicious, cool water! “But I'm hungry, and there is nothing edible here,” Elijah said. Suddenly he heard the flapping of wings. He looked up and saw a large black bird. It was a raven, and there was something white in its beak! The raven threw what he held in his beak to Elijah. It was bread. Yum-yum-yum, delicious! Elijah bowed his head and said, "Thank You, God."

Suddenly he heard the flapping of wings again. He looked up and saw another raven. There was a piece of meat in the bird's beak, which he threw to the preacher! Elijah tasted the meat. Yum-yum-yum, how delicious! He bowed his head and said, “Thank You God. "

Crows brought meat and bread to Elijah every morning and every evening. He drank from the stream of Choraf. God took good care of Elijah.

COLORING: Give the children an Elijah and the Crows coloring page. Tell the children what colors to color in the drawing and help them.

CRAFTING:Make the Ravens craft mobile with the children. The paper from which you will make the ravens should be black on both sides. You can glue two sheets of black paper together. Glue the eyes on both sides of the head (you can do it yourself by putting a dot on the white circle with a black marker). Attach the birds to the mobile (paper tape) with thread using a needle (ONLY an adult should do this!). Write “GOD CARES ABOUT US” on your mobile.

ENDING:Pray with the children and sing a song.

Lesson 17

Section: Obedience. NEYEMAN

PRAYER: “Lord, thank You for the children who believed in You and for the little Israelite girl who served Naaman's wife. Help us to always believe in you. In the name of Jesus. Amen".

GOLDEN VERSE:“Obedience is better than sacrifice” (1 Samuel 15:22) is the golden verse of this entire section. Without reminding the children, ask them who can recite the golden verse. Reward these children at once. Reward the rest later when you repeat the verse together.

BIBLICAL HISTORY: NEMAN

Warlord Naaman was ill. And no one could help him: not his family, not his friends, not his neighbors. His servants and even the king could not help him. (Show the children a doll whose face and hands are smeared with flour, explaining to the children what leprosy looks like roughly.)

But one little girl said, "There is a prophet in Israel called Elisha who, with the help of God, will heal Naaman." "Okay," Naaman said, "I'll go to Elisha and see if he and God can help me." When Naaman came to Elisha's house, he went to the door and knocked three times (show). Door opened. “I am the warlord of Naaman. Is Elisha at home? " - he asked. “Yes, Elisha is at home, but he's busy,” the servant replied. "He told me to tell you to go to the Jordan River and bathe seven times, and then you will be healthy again." The warlord turned and left. He was very angry and did not thank the servant. “Elisha could at least have met me. Why should I wash in the Jordan River? It seems so silly, but I'll try. "

The water was cold, but the warlord jumped into the river. “I feel so stupid,” he said. “And nothing happened. I have not recovered. " But Naaman jumped again and again and again. He was about to surrender when one of the soldiers said, "There are only two more times left, Warlord." Naaman jumped into the water again. He thought that would be enough, but he remembered what the prophet had said seven times. It won't hurt again. He jumped into the water one more time. This time he plunged headlong into cold water... Then he came out of the water.

“I feel different,” Naaman told himself. "I am well!" He shouted to the soldiers. Naaman and his soldiers returned home very happy.

BOOKS AND PICTURES:Have the children sit in a circle and show them the Children's Bible and pictures reminiscent of the Bible story.

CRAFTING: Make with the children the craft "Healing Naaman": the picture shows the Jordan River and a slot is made, and a pocket is made on the back side below the slot. Children lower the figure of the leper Naaman into the slit from the outside, showing how he plunged into the water. There is a figure of a healthy Naaman in the pocket in advance. After the sick Naaman "dipped" seven times, he gets into the pocket, and from the pocket we take out the figure of the healthy Naaman and push it through the slot.

After that, one of the children bursts the balls with a pin, having previously "read" the word on the ball. All other children repeat the words of the verse after him.

BIBLICAL HISTORY: JOSEPH FORGIVED THE BROTHERS

Joseph had many brothers. Eleven brothers. We only have 10 fingers on both hands. Eleven is ten and one more. Father loved Joseph very much. He even made him colored clothes. But the brothers were jealous of Joseph and one day they sold him into slavery. Joseph was taken to Egypt and sold to a rich man. But God helped Joseph and after a while Joseph became the most important and famous person in that country after the king. Only the king was more important than Joseph.

But the Lord will always be with you,

In all your earthly days!

When the book comes back to you, you read the second page and pass the book back to the children. Ask the children to look as quickly as possible so that they do not lose interest.) Once upon a time there was a king who had a deep dislike for the Israelites, especially baby boys. Moses' mother knew that God would help her save her baby from this evil king. Miriam, the elder sister of Moses, loved her younger brother very much. Moses' mother made a special basket that kept on the water. She hid Moses in this basket on the river, and Miriam watched him. When the king's daughter and her maids came to the river, they saw this basket. The maid took the basket out of the water and gave it to the princess. The princess took baby Moses out of the basket and hugged him. Miriam ran up to the princess and said that she could call a nanny for the baby.

BIBLICAL STORY: GOD SPEAKS TO MOSES

When Moses grew up, he became a shepherd. One day he left with his flock far from home. He walked and walked, when suddenly he saw fire. He came closer and saw that it was a bush burning. I wonder, thought Moses, who could set this bush on fire here in the desert? Time passed, the bush burned, but did not burn. Moses decided to come closer to see why the bush does not burn. As he approached the bush, he suddenly heard a voice that called his name. "Take off your shoes, because the ground you are standing on is holy." It was the voice of God. “Moses, I want you to return again to Egypt, where you fled from, and bring My people out of bondage. I will always be with you and will lead you to a good land where you will live freely. " Moses obeyed God and did what the Lord told him.

POEM:Learn the following poem with the children. You can give words to each child at home to learn with their parents.

MOSES

God came to Moses to say:

“I want to give you an assignment:

In a magnificent palace, the evil pharaoh sits,

And you, Moses, must talk to him ... "

Moses didn't like this job,

And he is reluctant to go to Pharaoh.

But Moses knew that you need to obey,

And he decided to be obedient to God.

And even though Moses knew that he would meet trouble,

Yet he boldly answered:

"Yes, Lord, I'm coming!"

You can change the speed of pronunciation, volume, voice. Ask the children to be careful to repeat exactly as the doll says. When children can pronounce a verse without the help of a doll, you can compete, who is faster - a doll or a child?

BIBLICAL HISTORY: SMIELED IN THE TEMPLE

Samuel served in the temple, where he helped the priest Eli. Samuel was a very good helper. He loved the Lord very much and wanted to live a life that would please God. Samuel went to bed one evening. He was already beginning to fall asleep, when suddenly he heard someone call him. “Perhaps it is Eli calling me,” thought Samuel. He jumped out of bed and ran to the priest. “I came because you called me,” Samuel said. “I didn't call you. Go to bed, Samuel, ”replied Eli. As soon as Samuel lay down on the bed, he suddenly heard someone call him again. He got up and went back to Eli. "Eli, didn't you call me this time?" Samuel asked. “No, I didn't call you. Too late. You must have dreamed it. " Samuel went to bed and again heard: "Samuel!" When Samuel came to the priest, Eli realized that God was talking to Samuel. “When you hear your name again, say what you hear and ask the Lord to speak to you,” Eli told him. God spoke to Samuel again and told him what He wanted to do in the future.

REITERATION:Review briefly the stories of Joseph and Moses with the children. You can put together the Joseph Mosaic and look again at the book Moses and the Special Basket.

When the children have spread the lambs, turn the figures over and read the verse to the children. Let them try to repeat the verse.

BIBLICAL HISTORY: THE BIRD SHEPHERD

David was tending his dad's sheep. He loved the Lord and often played the harp and sang songs praising God. The Lord helped David and made him very brave.

One day David was tending sheep. Everything was calm and quiet. But suddenly David saw how a huge hungry bear grabbed a small lamb. David was not taken aback and rushed at the bear. God helped David and the lamb survived.

Once a huge lion attacked David's flock, but this time David did not run home and did not leave the sheep alone. He protected the sheep so that the lion could do nothing. Whenever someone attacked the sheep, David protected them without fear. He knew the Lord was with him.

David was still grazing his daddy's sheep when the war broke out. The Philistines attacked David's people. They wanted to take over all the cities, and make people their servants. The two armies lined up one against the other. On one side stood the Israelite soldiers, and on the other stood their enemies, the Philistines. The strongest and tallest warrior of the Philistine army was Goliath. He was much taller than David. He was much stronger than David. He had a long spear in his hands, a heavy sword at the side, and a huge shield hung behind his back. He went out every day and called someone from israeli army fight him. But everyone was afraid of him, and no one dared to fight such a strong warrior.

The children will have to put together the pieces of the puzzle, after which you will read them the golden verse. Have the children repeat the verse after you. If it's difficult for them. Let them not repeat the whole verse, but in parts. Tell the children that these words are written in the Bible and that these are the words of God. Therefore, it is very important for us to know them and learn them by heart.

BIBLICAL HISTORY: THE WISE KING

King David had a son named Solomon. When David grew old, he appointed Solomon king, although he was still very young. Solomon loved God very much. One night, in a dream, God spoke to Solomon and said to him: "Ask what to give you." Solomon could ask God for a lot, a lot of money to buy whatever he wants. He could ask God for a long, happy life. He could ask the Lord to help him defeat all his enemies. But he didn't ask for it. He was very young and therefore he asked God for wisdom. And the Lord heard him and gave him wisdom and even what Solomon did not ask for.

One day two women with one child came to King Solomon. One said that it was her child, and the other that it was hers. No one could determine which of these women was telling the truth and which was not. But God gave King Solomon wisdom and He was able to make the right decision. When all the people heard about this, they realized that the Lord was helping Solomon.

Ask the children to look for some “bibles” in the room that were “accidentally lost”. When the children find them, place them in the correct order and read the golden verse. Explain to the children that these words are recorded in the Bible and that these are the words of God. Therefore, we call this verse the golden verse - it is very important to us.

BIBLICAL STORY: THE LITTLE KING

Josiah was only eight years old when he became king. (Show the children with their fingers how old Josiah was and ask them to show you eight fingers.)

He loved the Lord very much and tried to live in such a way as to please God. When Josiah got older, he decided to renovate God's temple. The priest, cleaning in the temple, found the book of the law. (You can show the children this situation: you are cleaning up or sweeping the floor, when suddenly you find a book and are very surprised.) The book of the law was brought to King Josiah, and when they read it to him, he was very upset and even tore his clothes. He was saddened because he did not know God's laws before and therefore did not keep them. From that time on, the king began to study the law himself (show the children the Bible) and taught the commandments of God to all the people. The Lord loved Josiah and helped him in everything.

REITERATION: Ask the children if they remember the name of the king we spoke about last time. What did King Solomon ask God? Josiah was also a wise king because he loved God and studied His law.

GOLDEN VERSE: Show the children a drawing of fishermen with fish glued to it. The fish are glued only from one edge (for example, the tail) in such a way that, by peeling back the edge that is not glued, you can read part or the word of the golden verse ("We are now children of God"). For greater clarity, a piece of bandage can be glued on top of the fish like a net, but in such a way that you can bend the fish. Ask the children if they remember why we call this verse golden. BIBLICAL HISTORY: OBEDIENT BROTHERS The brothers John and James were fishermen. Almost every day they went fishing with their dad. Once, when they were washing the nets on the bank, Jesus came up to them and said: "Follow Me." They immediately left their father and followed the Lord. They walked with Jesus for three years, listening to all the stories that Jesus told and seeing all the miracles that Jesus performed. Jesus loved John and James very much and often took two brothers and Peter with Him where he did not take the other disciples. One day Jesus took John, James and Peter to a high mountain where He prayed. Suddenly the disciples saw how Jesus changed: His clothes became white-white like snow. The prophets Moses and Elijah appeared next to them, talking with Jesus. John and James saw many of Jesus' miracles. John even wrote several books in the Bible. REITERATION:Show the children the two crowns, the crafts they did in the previous two lessons. Ask them what was the name of the king to whom the Lord gave a lot of wisdom, and what was the name of the king who began to reign when he was still very young (8 years old).

Lesson 27

Section: Children in the Bible. BOY WITH FIVE BREADS

PRAYER:“Lord, thank You for the boy who trusted You and did not spare his food for You. We ask You to help us trust You too. We love you. In the name of Jesus. Amen".

GOLDEN VERSE:Make cards out of paper in the form of five loaves and two fish, on which the words of the golden verse and the Scripture where this verse is located will be written ("We are now children of God",). Number the cards on the back. Show the children in turn the numbers (1-7) drawn on the breads and fish, calling them out loud. Then ask the children to arrange the cards in order. The children may need your help. As you lay out the cards one by one, have the children count out loud for themselves. When the cards are in the correct order, turn them over and read the golden verse to the children. Can any of the children repeat the verse after you?

BIBLICAL STORY: FIVE BREADS AND TWO FISHES

“May I, Mom? Can? Well, can I please? "

“I'm busy, Pavel. (Use the name of one of the boys in your class whose attention is most difficult to hold.) Can you what? "

"Can I go down the road to see Jesus?"

"Where is He and who is He?"

“He is now near the lake and He talks very interesting stories... I want to listen to Him. Everyone has already gone. May I, Mom? "

“It’s going to be lunch time soon and you might get hungry. Let me make you some food that you will take with you. "

Mom put five loaves of bread (show five fingers), small loaves, and two small fish (show two fingers on the other hand) into Paul's bag.

"Of course! Here, take everything and give it to Jesus. "

Jesus lifted the food, looked at the sky, prayed and suddenly a miracle of miracles happened! Suddenly there was so much bread and fish that it was possible to feed five thousand men and all the women and children who were there. And there are still twelve baskets left.

CRAFTING: Make the "Boy's Basket" craft with the children. Ask older children to help you.

COLORING: Distribute the Boy with Five Loaves to the children. Show the finished pattern to make it easier for the children to color.

END: End the session with a short prayer and sing the song.

Lesson 28 Section: God of Miracles. THE SEA HAS BEEN DISTRIBUTED PRAYER: “Lord, thank You for Moses, who brought the Israelites out of Egypt. We thank You for all the miracles that You do. Thank you for the miracle with the sea. In the name of Jesus. Amen". GOLDEN VERSE:The verse for this section is found in Psalms 104: 5 - "Remember His Miracles." Explain the verse to the children in your own words. We must remember the miracles that God did and that are recorded in the Bible, and the miracles that God does in our lives. With children, you can learn by heart the words "Remember the miracles of God." These words are easier for children to understand. Maybe some of the children can name some miracles that God has done. BIBLICAL STORY: THE SEA WATER HAS DISTRIBUTED The Israelite people suffered greatly in Egypt. The Egyptians mocked the Israelites by forcing them to work hard. The people prayed to God and asked to save them from the evil Egyptians. The Lord heard and sent Moses to Egypt. Moses led the Israelites out and led them to a good country. But Pharaoh (king of Egypt) decided to catch up with the Jews and return them. Pharaoh's army has almost caught up with the Israeli people. People heard the clatter of horses and the sound of chariots. They are about to die or they will again be taken into slavery. It seems that nothing and no one can help. But nothing is difficult for God! The Lord sent a wind that blew so hard on the Red Sea that the waters of the sea parted to the sides. The people of Israel went along the bottom of the sea as if on dry land, and the water stood like two walls on both sides.

Lesson 29

Section: God of Miracles. GOD FEEDS THE WIDOW AND HER CHILDREN

PRAYER:“Lord, we thank You for taking care of us, feeding us and dressing us. Thank you for being our dad. We love You and want to serve You. In the name of Jesus. Amen"

GOLDEN VERSE: The verse of this section is “Remember His wonders” (). We will memorize the words “Remember the miracles of God” so that it will be easier for the children to remember. We distribute 4 balloons to the children, on which it is written with a marker or felt-tip pen, one word of the golden verse and one scripture. Children inflate balloons. After that, one of the children bursts the balls with a pin, having previously "read" the word on the ball. All other children repeat the words of the verse after him.

Ask the children what miracles they remember from the Bible. Maybe one of the children will be able to tell about some miracle that the Lord has done in the life of their family.

BIBLICAL HISTORY: THE MIRACLE WITH ELEI

Tell the children that you are going to tell them a story about oil. Most likely, the children do not know what oil is. So explain to them that oil is like the butter their mothers used to fry delicious pancakes and pancakes.

One woman's husband died and she was left alone with two children. She came to Elisha and wept. “Elisha, you are God's prophet. You hear the words that the Lord says. Help me and my children. My husband died and I am now a widow. " She cried and cried. “A neighbor came to us and demands that we give him the money that my husband borrowed. But I do not have money. This man wants to take my two children for debt. What should I do?"

Elisha thought and asked: "What do you have in the house?" “I have nothing but one jug of oil (butter),” the widow replied. Suddenly Elisha heard God say something to him. He told the woman: “Go to all your neighbors and ask them for empty jugs. When you have taken many, many jugs, go into the house with your sons and pour oil into the empty jugs. " The woman obeyed Elisha and did everything he said. She asked all her neighbors for empty jugs, brought them home and began pouring oil into them. When the jug was full, her children set it aside and gave her another. They poured one jug, then the second, the third, the fourth, ... They already lost count. There are so many jugs, and each one contains expensive oil.

(You can show the children what this miracle looked like by pouring a drink from a bottle into glasses. Your assistant barely has time to serve you the next empty glass. Tell the children that the only difference is that the oil did not disappear in the jug. The drink can be hand out to children after story at snack time.)

When all the jugs were full, the oil stopped flowing. The joyful widow found Elisha and told him about the miracle that the Lord had done. “Go sell the oil. Then you can repay the debt to your neighbor, and with the rest of the money you can live with your children, ”Elisha told her.

REITERATION:Remember with your children what a miracle the Lord performed with the sea when Moses led the Israelite people. Show the children the pictures.

CRAFTING:Make the Oil Jug craft with the children. When the children have finished working, ask them to retell the story.

ENDING:End with a short prayer and sing the song.

In the name of Jesus. Amen" GOLDEN VERSE:The verse for this section is found in Psalms 104: 5. We will teach the words "Remember the miracles of God." These words are easier for children to understand. You can teach a verse with children using a doll that says the verse, and the children repeat after it. First, one word at a time. Then it completely subsided. Change the speed of pronunciation, volume, voice. Ask the children to be careful to repeat exactly as the doll says.

You prepare in advance a package consisting of several packages (newsprint, sealed with adhesive tape), inside which are cards with the words of the golden verse. Put some small prize (candy, lollipop, etc.) into the last package along with the card. Children sitting in a circle pass the bundle to each other in turn to the music. When the music stops (if it is not possible to use the music, the teacher, who has his back to the children, can just clap his hands from time to time), the child, who has the bundle in his hands, unfolds the top layer and takes out the card. Place the card on the floor and read the word of the verse. Have the children repeat after you. Turn on the music and the game continues. The surprise will go to the one who unfolded the last layer.

BIBLICAL HISTORY: ENEMIES SEE NOTHING

Once a large army of Syrians surrounded the city where Elisha lived, because Syria was at war with Israel. God's prophet woke up in the morning from the screams of his servant. He ran around the room and screamed in fear. Elisha was not afraid or worried, because he knew that God is stronger than all his enemies.

He prayed to God and said, "Hit them with blindness." Suddenly all the soldiers went blind and stopped seeing. They didn't know where to go. And Elisha said to them: "Let me take you to the city where you need, and to the person you are looking for." The soldiers followed Elisha, who brought them to the king of Israel. God's prophet prayed that God would open the eyes of the Syrians. The Lord answered this prayer and they could see again. The king was very happy and wanted to kill his enemies. But Elisha told him: "Do not kill them, but rather feed them and let them go." After that, these people went to their homeland in Syria and never fought with the Israelis again.

REITERATION: Children already know three stories about Elisha and the miracles that God did through him. Let them retell these stories. You can help them by giving them the Children's Bible, opened on pages 199, 195 and 205.

CRAFTING:Do the craft "The Lord Opens and Closes the Eyes of People." You can help the children, but it is better that they learn to cut, glue, and draw themselves.

King Darius was a very good friend of Daniel. Some bad people did not want Daniel and King Darius to be friends. They persuaded King Darius to issue an order for everyone to pray to the king. Daniel violated the royal command because he prayed only to God and to no one else. Due to the fact that Daniel violated the order, King Darius had to throw him into a pit with large hungry lions. Daniel prayed to God and asked Him to protect him from the big hungry lions. God heard Daniel's prayer and sent an angel to protect him from the lions. King Darius could not sleep that night because he felt sorry for his very good friend. The next morning, King Darius hurried to the moat, where the large hungry lions were sitting. King Darius was very happy and glad when his good friend Daniel was taken out of the ditch. He was so glad that he canceled his edict and ordered everyone to pray to the God of Daniel.

BIBLICAL HISTORY: PETER IS FREE AGAIN

King Herod was a very wicked man. He ordered the execution of one of Jesus 'disciples - James, John's brother. (A few lessons ago, the children learned about two brothers - James and John. Ask them if they remember who the brothers were by profession before they became Jesus' disciples. children craft - Fishing boat.) When King Herod saw that some people liked it, he decided to execute someone else from the Apostles. This time, Herod's soldiers captured Peter and put him in prison. But at that time it was Easter, so they decided to execute Peter in a few days. And then the night came, which was to be the last for Peter. He was to be killed the next morning. To prevent Peter from escaping, a large guard was posted near his cell. In the same cell, two soldiers were sleeping, to whom Peter was chained with two chains. It was simply impossible to escape. Suddenly ... A bright light shone in the dark gloomy cell! So bright, as if the sun confused the time and began to shine at night. Peter woke up and saw an Angel who told him: "Get up and follow me." Peter got up and followed the Angel through the heavy iron doors that opened by themselves. When they left the prison on the street, the Angel suddenly disappeared, and only now Peter realized that it was not a dream. God Himself sent His Angel to save him.

He wanted to capture all Christians and put them in jail. When Saul was already approaching Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven shone on him. Saul even fell to the ground and immediately asked: "Who are You?" He heard in response: "I am Jesus, Whom you are persecuting." From that moment on, Saul became blind and saw nothing for three whole days (Ask the children to show you three fingers). But three days later, the Lord told the disciple, whose name was Ananias, to come to Saul and pray for him. Ananias did not want to go right away, because Saul was a very wicked man and did a lot of bad things to Christians. But later he agreed to come and when he prayed, Saul began to see again. Saul believed in Jesus and never persecuted believers again. He began to preach and tell people about Jesus himself.

But Paul kept talking and telling others about how wonderful Jesus was. Paul was not in the least afraid because he knew that God would take care of him. In addition, Paul was a good missionary.

But soon the people captured Paul and his friend Silas. They grabbed them, tore their clothes and beat them. And then they threw them in jail and told the jailer, "Put them in jail in a place where they can't talk to others about Jesus."

The jailer ordered to take Paul and Silas to the farthest cell. So that they could not escape, their legs were chained in a deck. “Now let's see how you get out of here and tell others about Jesus,” said the jailer, slamming the door and closing it two turns.

Paul and Silas began to sing. (Sing the chorus to a song that fits the story.) The other prisoners heard Paul and Silas sing about Jesus and began to listen. Suddenly - Boom! Bastard! - there was a big earthquake. The walls of the prison trembled and all the doors opened. All prisoners could now escape from prison. The jailer woke up and saw what had happened. He drew his sword and was ready to kill himself because he thought Paul had fled when he heard a voice: “Do no harm to yourself. We didn't run away. We're still here. " It was Paul's voice.

" The people of Israel were very unhappy: "Caesar wants more and more money." But they were afraid. Roman troops were stationed throughout the country. Sometimes the Israelites were filled with impotence, sometimes sadness. "Can't anyone help us?" But some people said, “Don't be sad or afraid. We have the scriptures, which say that God will send a Deliverer to His people. We are His people, God will help us. " (The teacher shows the children a figurine of Mary.) At that time, a young girl named Maria lived in a small Israeli town. She had a fiancé and, while helping her parents with the housework, often thought of Joseph. “Soon Joseph will be my husband. We will have our own home and I will help him in everything. " Suddenly Mary heard: “Greetings, Mary. The Lord is with you. God sent me to you. " Maria was even a little scared. (The Teacher places an Angel figurine next to the Mary figurine.) “Mary, you will give birth to a Son. Call Him Jesus because He will save people from their sins. " Maria asked in surprise: “I am not married yet. How can I give birth to a Son? " “The Father of this Child will not be Joseph, but the Lord. He promised to send Israel a Deliverer who would save the people. " Mary replied: "I do not quite understand how this will happen, but I will obey God."

Now we will turn the figures over again. You can see that the children loved Jesus and were always with Him. They believed that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God. "

BIBLICAL STORY: JESUS \u200b\u200bAND THE CHILDREN

Every time Jesus came to any city or village, many people gathered around Him. Word of Him spread quickly: “Jesus is in the city! He heals the sick and talks about God! " One woman takes her daughter by the hand and says: "Come on, let's hear what He has to say to us." Other mothers also call their children, some take the babies in their arms and go to where Jesus is. This is a fun crowd. Children jump and rejoice.

Jesus' disciples are surprised: "Why did the mothers bring their children with them?" One of them says, “Jesus is busy. Children still don't understand anything. They only get in the way. Go away and don't make any noise. "

Women and children were saddened. They turned around and were going home, when they suddenly heard: “Let the children come to Me. Why do you forbid them? The Kingdom of God belongs to them. "

He sought the Lord for a long time, asked different peoplebut finally found it. The boy's father ran to Jesus and said, “Jesus! Come with me, please. My son is very sick. I ask You to heal him. Come with me while my son is still alive. "

Jesus did not go with him, but said, “Go home. Your son is healthy! " The man thought, "If Jesus said so, then this is how it is." He obediently went home. He was in a great hurry to find out how his son was doing. Suddenly he saw that his servants were running towards him. They already started shouting from afar: “Master! Master! Your son is healthy! " My father was happy as never before in his life. He asked the servants about the time when his son recovered, and realized that this happened exactly when Jesus told him: “Go home. Your son is healthy! " And the boy's father, the boy, and the whole family believed after that that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God.

Jesus immediately went to Jairus's house to heal his daughter. But on the way, they met people who had come from Jairus's house and brought bad news. “Don't bother your teacher, Jairus. We're sorry, but your daughter is already dead. The doctors did everything they could. " Jairus felt his legs shake with grief. “I have no more children. The only child I had, but died, is my beloved daughter, ”thought the unfortunate father. But at that moment he heard the words of Jesus: "Do not be afraid, just believe, and your daughter will be saved." When they arrived at Jairus's house, all the people were already crying and sad music was playing. Jesus took with Him three disciples and the girl's parents and entered the room.

In one city, Jesus saw a blind man asking for money. This man was born blind and had never seen beautiful flowers, beautiful clouds, or sunset in his life. He didn't even see his parents. The disciples immediately asked their Teacher who was to blame for the fact that this man was blind: his parents or himself. Jesus replied that no one is to blame for this - neither his parents, nor himself, but through this God will be glorified. After that, the Lord spat on the ground and, mixing saliva with earth, anointed the eyes of the blind man with the resulting mud. "Now go and wash yourself in the Siloam pool." (You can explain to the children what this word means in Hebrew "Sent" and we remember with you that Jesus was sent by God the Father.) The blind man went to the pool, although he did not understand why Jesus smeared his eyes and told him to go wash ... He heard from other people that Jesus healed sick people and hoped that maybe it would help him. Although all people said that a person who was blind from birth had never become sighted. When he came to the pool, he scooped up water with his hands and began to wash his eyes. A bright light, which he had never seen in his life, hit him in the eye. Overjoyed, he ran home to tell others about this miracle that Jesus had performed. But all the neighbors could not immediately believe in this miracle and thought that this was a different person. The man who was born blind, but whom Jesus healed, believed that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God. CRAFTING:Make glasses for a blind person out of black cardboard. Ask the children to show the craft to other family members at home and tell them the Bible story. BOOKS AND PICTURES: Show the children today's story in the Children's Bible and large pictures of the healing of a man born blind. ENDING: Sing the song and end the session with a short prayer.

Lesson 42

Section: Jesus. JESUS \u200b\u200bLOVES ALL

PRAYER:“Lord, we thank You that You love all people. You love adults and children. Do you love even bad peoplebecause you believe that they can change and become good. Thank you. In the name of Jesus. Amen".

GOLDEN VERSE:You can play Pass the Package with your children. You prepare in advance a package consisting of several layers, inside which are cards with the words of the golden verse. Put some small prize (candy, lollipop, etc.) into the last package along with the card. Children sitting in a circle pass the bundle to each other in turn. When the teacher, with his back to the children, claps his hands, the child with the bundle in his hands unfolds the top layer and takes out the card. Place the card on the floor and read the word of the verse. Have the children repeat after you. After that, the game continues. The surprise will go to the one who unfolded the last layer. Then repeat the entire golden verse together.

BIBLICAL HISTORY: ZACHEI

One day Jesus came to the city of Jericho. There were always crowds of people around Jesus. Some people couldn't even see Jesus because of the crowd, let alone hear what He was talking to others about. A man named Zacchaeus lived in this city. He was very short, but he was very rich. Zacchaeus did not have a single friend. People didn't like him because he cheated on others for money. Zacchaeus really wanted to see Jesus, but the crowd would not let him. People shoved Zacchaeus away and called him Shorty. All people were convinced that Jesus would not even want to talk to Zacchaeus. "Someone who, but Jesus knows what kind of person Zacchaeus is!" - people thought. No matter how hard Zacchaeus tried, he could not get one step closer to the Lord. But suddenly he smiled to himself and ran along the street along which Jesus was walking. Overtaking the crowd, Zacchaeus saw a tree. Quickly, like a cat, he climbed onto the fig tree and began to wait for Jesus to come. Now no one will stop him from seeing Jesus Christ, about whom people talk so much. Or maybe even Jesus will come closer to the tree, and Zacchaeus will even be able to hear Him. Suddenly he saw a crowd of people among which Jesus was walking. The people were supposed to pass next to Zacchaeus, but suddenly the crowd went straight to the fig tree, on which a short rich man was sitting. Jesus went to the fig tree, lifted his head and said: "Zacchaeus, get off the tree, because I need to come to visit you." Zacchaeus nearly fell from the tree in surprise. Nobody loved him, he had no friends, not even just comrades. And suddenly Jesus wants to come to visit him. Zacchaeus changed, became good and began to help the poor and needy people.

CRAFTING:Do Zacchaeus in the Tree with the children.

BOOKS: Show the children today's story from the Children's Bible.

ENDING: End the session with a short prayer.

Lesson 43

Section: Jesus. JESUS \u200b\u200bIS NOW WITH US

PRAYER:“Lord, thank you for always being with us. You will never leave us alone. We love You and thank You for everything. In the name of Jesus. Amen".

GOLDEN VERSE: This is the final lesson from the Jesus Section. Have the children recite the golden verse (Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God). Present awards for memorizing the verse. Give an opportunity for the first time children or those who have been absent from previous lessons to learn the verse.

BIBLICAL HISTORY: JESUS \u200b\u200bIS ALWAYS WITH US

This happened immediately after one of the biggest Jewish holidays - Passover. Jesus was executed on the cross. The disciples gathered in the house where they wept and sobbed. They felt sorry for their Master, and they were afraid. All doors and windows in the house were locked. They remembered Jesus telling them that on the third day after his death He would rise again, but they did not believe. But suddenly someone knocked on the door of the house. Maybe they are soldiers? They carefully looked through the crack in the door and, seeing that they were two of Jesus' disciples, they opened the door. The two people were happy and smiling. “Why are you happy? Don't you know that Jesus was killed and we too can be captured at any moment and executed? "

“We know that Jesus was crucified on the cross, but we know something else. When we were walking from Jerusalem to a village, we met Jesus, who was talking to us. Don't you remember how Jesus told us that he would rise again after death? "

The disciples found it hard to believe, but suddenly Jesus appeared in the room. All doors and windows were closed, but the Teacher Himself stood in the middle of them. Everyone was immediately scared, but Jesus said, "Do not be afraid, it is I."

Jesus told His disciples: "I will always be with you, wherever you are." Therefore, we never need to be afraid of anything, because we are not alone.

CRAFTING: Make a paper heart with the children, consisting of two identical parts, inside which the words "I am with you all the days until the end of the age ()" will be written. Explain to the children that Jesus is always with us, even when we are afraid and cannot see Him. He is inside our heart. He is close to help us and give us courage.

BOOKS AND PICTURES: Show the children the Children's Bible and other pictures of the resurrected Jesus.

REITERATION: Let the children remember the story of Zacchaeus. You can show them a craft from the previous lesson to help them remember.

ENDING: Sing the song and end the session with a short prayer.

Lesson 44

Section: Holy Spirit. THE HOLY SPIRIT ON MOSES

PRAYER: “Lord, we thank You for the Holy Spirit that You have given to those who believe in You. We thank You for Moses, from whom we can learn to trust You. In the name of Jesus. Amen".

GOLDEN VERSE:The golden verse of this section is “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me” (). Make small tablets out of paper that will contain the golden verse. Explain to the children what tablets (two flat stones) are. God Himself wrote the words of the law (10 commandments) on stone tablets and gave them to Moses.

BIBLICAL STORY: WONDERFUL LIGHT

Once God said to Moses: “Make two tablets of stone and go up Mount Sinai. There I will talk to you and write on the tablets My commandments for you. " Moses did so. He carved two tablets from the stone and went up the mountain early in the morning.

God talked to Moses and explained the commandments to him, and all the Israelites were waiting for their leader. Moses was on the mountain for a very long time: more than a month, forty days and nights. And when he began to descend from the mountain, he had two flat stones (tablets) in his hands, on which God wrote very important words for His people. Every day people looked at the mountain and thought: “When will Moses return? Probably, the Lord speaks to him very important words for us. I wonder what he will tell us when he returns? " Suddenly they noticed a man coming down the mountain. It must be Moses, they thought. "Very similar to our leader." As Moses came closer, the people noticed that he had something in his hands for them. These were two flat stones (tablets) with the law that God wrote for them.

But what is it with the face of Moses? Why does it glow with such a bright light? Like a sun!

Moses didn't even know that his face began to glow while he was talking to the Lord. When he came down the mountain, he did not understand why people were afraid of him. Therefore, Moses covered his face with a veil when he talked with people, and when he talked with the Lord, he took off the veil.

BOOKS:Show the children the picture of Moses with the tables of the law in the Children's Bible.

CRAFTING:Have the children cut out a Moses figurine, paint the face in yellow, and glue the Golden Verse tablets the children made at the beginning of the lesson to the figurine.

ENDING: End the lesson with a song and prayer so that our faces shine with the light of God.

Lesson 45 Section: Holy Spirit. THE HOLY SPIRIT ON SAMSON PRAYER:“Lord, thank You for every blessing You have given us. And thank you for the greatest blessing - the Holy Spirit, which you gave us. We love You, Holy Spirit, and we want to hear Your voice always. In the name of Jesus. Amen". GOLDEN VERSE:The golden verse of this lesson is found in Isaiah 61, verse one: "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me." You can give small prizes to children who have memorized the golden verse. BIBLICAL HISTORY: A CITY WITHOUT GATES The Lord has always loved and loves His people. But when people turned away from God and stopped believing in Him, serious problems came into their lives. This story happened many years ago. The people of Israel forgot God and did evil. Therefore, very soon they were attacked by enemies - the Philistines. People suffered and cried. When it got really bad, they prayed to God and asked Him to help. The Lord heard the prayers of His people and sent deliverance. In one family, a boy was born who was named Samson. From the very childhood the Spirit of the Lord descended on Samson, and miracles happened. Samson was very strong and his strength was in his hair. Therefore, he did not cut his hair, and he had long hair. One day, enemies came to Samson and tied him with two new ropes. (At this moment, your helper can tie the hands of one of the children or all the children with a thin thread. Ask the children not to break the thread for now.) But when the bound Samson was led, the Spirit of the Lord descended on him, and he tore the ropes like thin threads. (Children can now break the thread as Samson.) One day Samson came to the city of his enemies. All night the enemies waited for Samson to go out of the city to seize him. They locked the gate and thought that now Samson would not be able to escape. But the Spirit of the Lord fell on Samson, he tore out the gate and put it on his shoulders. (You can emotionally show the children how Samson did this.) It was not until morning that the Philistines found the gate to their city at the top of the hill. It took a lot of people to bring the gate back to the city. And Samson did it alone, because the Spirit of the Lord was on him. REITERATION: Show the children the craft from the previous lesson and remind them of the story of Moses. CRAFTING:Make a small craft with the children that will look like a city gate. Write "Gaza Gate" on the doors. Tell the children that Gaza is a city where the enemies of the Israelites, the Philistines, lived. ENDING: End the lesson with prayer.

Lesson 46 Section: Holy Spirit. THE HOLY SPIRIT ON DAVID PRAYER:“God the Father, thank you for the Holy Spirit that you gave us. Holy Spirit, You are always with us, so we can be courageous like David and not be afraid of anything. We love You and thank You for everything. In the name of Jesus. Amen". GOLDEN VERSE:The golden verse is “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me” (). Have the children make a horn of oil out of a strip of paper. Explain to the children that oil is oil that has been pressed from olives. The most important person in the country in ancient times was the king. The king was anointed with oil. It is a symbol of the Holy Spirit. A small piece of paper can be inserted into the "horn" with a golden verse written on it so that the children can learn it at home with their parents. BIBLICAL STORY: SAMUEL ANOINTED DAVID David's parents had a lot of sons - eight. (Have the children point out this number on their fingers.) David was the youngest, which means he had seven older brothers. Once God's prophet Samuel came to their home. Samuel heard the voice of God and did what the Lord told him. He came specifically to anoint one of the brothers as king. In ancient times, the prophet poured oil (oil) on the head of a person who was supposed to become a king. When Samuel saw his older brother David, he thought, “This is the future king! He's tall and strong! " But the Lord told him: "This is not him." Samuel approached the second brother, but the Lord again said, "And this is not him." Samuel approached the seven brothers in turn, but realized that God had not chosen them to reign. Papa did not call David, because he was still very young and tended sheep. When Samuel found out that there was another brother, the youngest, whom they had forgotten to call, he realized that God had chosen not a strong and tall one, but one who loved the Lord very much. Samuel poured the oil from the horn on David's head, and from that time on, the Holy Spirit was always on David. Therefore, he was never afraid of anyone: not a lion, not a bear, not Goliath. And the Lord helped him in everything. BOOKS AND PICTURES: Show the children the Children's Bible and other pictures showing Samuel anointing David to reign. SCENE:If you have enough boys, you can show a Bible story. Select the smallest boy with David. Explain to the children at the end that God does not look at our age, height, or strength. It is important to Him that we have a pure heart that loves Him. REITERATION:Show the children the craft from the previous lesson and remind them of the story of Samson. You can tie the hands of one of the children with a thin thread so that he shows how Samson broke two new ropes. ENDING: Sing the song and end the session with a short prayer.

Lesson 47 Section: Holy Spirit. THE HOLY SPIRIT ON JESUS PRAYER:“God the Father, we thank You for Your Son - Jesus Christ. Thank you that the same Holy Spirit lives in us, which was on Jesus. We thank You for everything. In the name of Jesus. Amen". GOLDEN VERSE:The golden verse for this lesson is “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me” (). Distribute balloons to five children who are not afraid of loud noise, inside which there are notes with the words of the golden verse (“Spirit”, “Lord,” “God,” “on Me” and “”). Children need to burst balloons by stepping on them. After that, unfold the notes and add the golden verse from the words. Have the children repeat the words of the verse after you several times until they memorize it. BIBLICAL STORY: A DOVE FROM THE SKY Jesus was thirty years old (show the children on your fingers how old thirty years will be). He also worked as a carpenter, i.e. carved furniture and various objects from wood. He has not yet cured a single person, has not done any miracle. But one day Jesus heard God the Father tell him to go to the Jordan River. In this river, John baptized all the people. People came to him and asked God for forgiveness for their wrong actions. As soon as John saw Jesus, he realized that Jesus is the Son of the living God, whom God the Father had sent as Savior for all people. Therefore, John did not want to baptize Jesus. "Jesus, I need to be baptized by You, not You by me!" But Jesus answered him: "You must baptize Me." Then John baptizes Jesus. As soon as Jesus came out of the water, the Holy Spirit descended from heaven on Jesus in the form of a dove. And all people heard a voice from heaven, which said: "This is My beloved Son, who will do My will." Everyone was amazed looking at Jesus. After that, Jesus performed many miracles and signs by the power of the Holy Spirit. REITERATION: Show the children the craft from the previous lesson, and ask which of them remembers what the teacher told the last time. CRAFTING: Do the Baptism of Jesus craft with the children. Have a child (or all of the children in turn) share a Bible story. Tell the children that the same Holy Spirit is upon us today to help us, support us, teach, and work miracles. ENDING: End the lesson with a prayer that God will fill us more with His Spirit every day and that we will always hear His voice.

Lesson 48

Section: Holy Spirit. THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR 120 DISCIPLES

PRAYER:“Lord, we are grateful to You for everything that You give to us. And especially for your Holy Spirit, which you poured out on us. Help us to be brave and talk about You always and to all people, as the Apostles and your disciples did. In the name of Jesus. Amen".

GOLDEN VERSE:The golden verse is “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me” (). Give the children small cards with one letter on one side and different colored dash (s) on the other. The first word of the golden verse can be added by laying out three cards in the correct sequence, on which one of the letters of this word is written on one side, and red dashes are drawn on the other side (the first letter is one dash, the second is two and the third is three). The word "Lord" will be written on seven cards, on the back of which there will be blue dashes, etc. Have the children write the golden verse, repeat it, and try to learn it if they haven't already.

BIBLICAL STORY: FIRE OVER THE HEAD

This story took place shortly after Jesus was crucified and resurrected. In Jerusalem, in the house, in the upper room (i.e. on the second floor), the Apostles and disciples gathered. All of them were one hundred and twenty people (several times more than us here in the room!). They prayed together, when suddenly ... Everyone heard a noise that can be heard when a very strong wind is blowing. Nobody understood anything. And suddenly everyone saw that flames appeared over the head of everyone present. Someone already wanted to run for water to put out the fire. But they soon realized that this fire did not burn. It was the Holy Spirit whom God the Father sent on His children. At that moment, all one hundred and twenty people began to pray in other languages \u200b\u200bthat they had not learned before. And all the unbelievers who heard this noise were amazed and glorified God. After that, the disciples preached and spoke about God with power, and were not afraid of anything. God worked miracles and healed many sick people.

REITERATION: Review with the children the story of the last lesson. Let them tell you, and then show them the Baptism of Jesus craft.

CRAFTING:Give the children a sheet of drawing of praying class members. After folding a sheet of red paper several times, cut out the tongues of fire. You will get several at once, which the children will glue over the heads of the students. Write “120” at the bottom of the picture.

ENDING: End with a prayer and a praise song.

Lesson 49 Section: Holy Spirit. THE HOLY SPIRIT ON PHILIP PRAYER: “Lord, we thank You for the Holy Spirit, which You have given to all who obey You. We want to be always obedient to You, just like Philip. Help us in this. In the name of Jesus. Amen". GOLDEN VERSE:Children continue to learn today the verse "The Spirit of the Lord God is on Me" (). Make a set of cards with the word of the golden verse on one side and a serial number on the back. Ask two children to hold the thread or rope, and the third child who knows the numbers to hang the cards on the thread in the correct order using clothespins. Read the verse to the children, and let everyone repeat after you. Now ask the children to “read” for themselves. BIBLICAL HISTORY: AN UNUSUAL MEETING Once the Angel of the Lord told Philip, one of Jesus' disciples, to go to the deserted road leading from Jerusalem. Philip was very surprised: “Lord, I do not understand why I need to go on this road, which almost no one walks or drives. Maybe I just heard or was I wrong? No, if the Lord said this, then I must obey Him. " Therefore, Philip obeyed and went to the deserted road. He walked, glorified the Lord and prayed, when suddenly ... he heard some noise. Strange, Philip thought, what is this noise? Soon he saw a chariot approaching him. A man was sitting on it and reading something. The Holy Spirit told Philip to go to the chariot, and Philip heard that the eunuch (the servant of Queen Candace) was reading the Bible. Philip asked: "Do you understand what you are reading?" "No, I don't understand anything, but I would really like someone to explain to me." Then Philip began to tell him about Jesus and what God has done for every person. The eunuch believed in Jesus and right on the way, when they reached the water, he received water baptism. When they came out of the water, the Holy Spirit descended on the eunuch, and the Angel of the Lord transported Philip to the city of Azot, where he preached about Jesus to the inhabitants of this city. The eunuch went home joyful, glorifying God for the Holy Spirit, who descended on him and for the salvation that the Lord gave him. CRAFTING: Have the children glue the chariot on which the eunuch rode on the road from Jerusalem using matches. Make the wheels out of cardboard. When they are finished, have the children retell the Bible story for today's lesson. SCENE: Prepare a sketch for today's lesson with the children. Distribute among the children the roles of Philip, Angel, eunuch. Let a child speak the words of the Spirit, hiding from the rest of the children. ENDING: End the lesson with song and prayer.

Lesson 50 Section: Holy Spirit. THE HOLY SPIRIT ON JOHN PRAYER:“Lord, thank You for Your Word, which You gave us, and for the Holy Spirit, who teaches and helps us. Holy Spirit, help us understand everything that is written in the Bible. Teach us as You taught John. In the name of Jesus. Amen". GOLDEN VERSE: The golden verse of this section is found in Isaiah 61, verse one (“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me”). Make a paper strip mosaic by writing the words of the verse on it and cutting so that the children can guess which pieces are adjacent. BIBLICAL HISTORY: ON PATMOS ISLAND John, one of Jesus' disciples, lived on the island of Patmos. The emperor sent John there because he preached about Jesus. But John did not stop believing in God and continued to preach to those people who lived on this island. One Sunday John was praying and suddenly heard a voice behind him. A loud voice said, "I am the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last." John turned to see who was talking to him and saw Jesus. As soon as he saw the Lord, He fell at His feet as dead. But Jesus put His hand on John and said, "Don't be afraid." The Lord told His faithful disciple: "What you see, write in a book and send to the churches." God revealed to John the future and told what would happen before Jesus returned to earth. And today we can learn about it from the Bible. Much of what is written in the books of Revelation has already been fulfilled or is now being fulfilled. Therefore, we can be confident that Jesus will soon come to earth again for the second time. REITERATION:Have the children remember and tell the story they heard in the last lesson. CRAFTING: Make a small craft with the children that will look like a stamped scroll. Wrap the sheet of paper several times around the pencil. Glue the thread and the plasticine seal to the thread. On the scroll, write the words of the golden verse. At the end of the lesson, be sure to remind the children to take their crafts with them. ENDING: Sing a praise song, pray, and reward the children who have learned the golden verse.

Easter / Matt. 27: 38-66; Mt. 28: 1-10

Subject: Jesus died and rose again.

Truth: Jesus died and rose again so that we may live forever.

Purpose: To show that Jesus died for our bad deeds, but God raised Him up so that we too would live forever with Him. Teach to thank God for salvation.

Dogmatics: Jesus was crucified, buried and resurrected.

Interest:

Option 1:

Bottom line: "We shared the good news that each of us had, but do you know the good news that belongs to all nations?" This news is the best news for everyone! It spread very quickly and is transmitted from century to century - "Christ is risen!"

Option 2:

Guys, would you like to live forever with Jesus in heaven? How to get there? The teacher shows a folded paper rocket. Can you fly to the sky on a rocket? You can go to the moon. But the moon is not the sky.

The teacher makes a cross from a rocket. What is it? Today I will tell you why the cross will help us get to heaven.

Bible story:

1. Evil people.
2. Jesus was crucified on the cross.
3. Jesus asks the Heavenly Father to forgive the sins of people.
4. Women cry at the cross.
5. Jesus died for our bad deeds.
6. Joseph put the body in the coffin.
7. Guards at the coffin, the stone rolled away.
8. An angel and then Jesus appear to women.
9. Jesus was resurrected so that we may live forever.

The biblical story is told using a model of Mount Golgotha \u200b\u200bwith 3 rising crosses (the crosses are made of cardboard, lie on the mountain, the lower edge is glued to the mountain, rise by a thread tied to the upper edge), a garden with a coffin and figures of people or pictures.

Application:

Thanksgiving prayer. Children pray in a chain, thanking God for salvation.

Golden Verse:

“We believe that Jesus died and rose again” 1 Thess. 4:14

Memory game: "Echo".

Who knows what an echo is? (If you shout loudly in the mountains: "Katya!". The echo will repeat for a long time: "Katya, Katya, Katya ..."). The news that Jesus died and was resurrected echoed throughout the world.

Children with a teacher stand in a circle, holding hands. The teacher speaks one word from the golden verse, imperceptibly squeezing the child's hand now to the left or to the right of him. The child who has been shook hands repeats this word, then the next one and so on until the teacher. Thus, the children echo each word from the golden verse, and then the entire golden verse.

Craft "Jesus is alive." With its help, the biblical story is repeated.

Homework: verses by heart "Joy", "Our Lord"

Equipment:

- paper rocket

- scissors

- blanks for crafts
