This Sunday, we’re discovering…
Main Point: Jesus Connects Us to Each Other
Bible Story: Jesus Appears to the Disciples (John 20:19-31)
WHAT YOU DO
Watch the video! Sing and dance along to the worship songs, watch the Bible story, and connect the big idea to real life!
Talk about each of the questions to keep the conversation going
Do the activity together to have some fun and reinforce the big idea!
Talk It Through Together
Question of the day! (all ages!)
Go around the room and ask the question: “Would you rather go mountain climbing or skydiving?”
Story Questions:
How were the disciples feeling before Jesus appeared to them?
What did Jesus say to them when He showed up?
What did Jesus show the disciples to help them believe that it was really him?
Jesus connects us to others! What are some ways that we can connect with the people we care about?
Read 1 John 1:3, “...that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.”
Fellowship is another word for connection! How can we stay connected to God?
WRITE IT // field notes
Use your “Field Notes” notebook throughout the month of April to write down your thoughts on each Sunday’s prompt! Keep your field notes somewhere you can grab them each week!
APRIL 11 // Our big idea today is that “Jesus Connects Us to Each Other!” Even though Jesus connects us to each other through His Holy Spirit, He also calls us to make sure we stay connected to others.
What can you do this week to connect with the people in your life? Write down:
a way you can connect with your family
a way you can connect with your friends
and a way you can connect with your neighbors!
(Bonus Challenge: actually DO what you wrote down!!!)
YOU DID IT!
Continue the conversation all week by talking about how we can be a part of God’s plans!
