Hi Parents and Grandparents!


This week, Sunday, December 1, 2013, your child will hear this story:

Peter Walked on Water with Jesus Based on Matthew 14:22-33
Jesus had been teaching the people all day. He sent the people away and told His disciples to go to the other side of the lake in a boat. Jesus went up the mountain to pray.
After many hours, the boat was far away from land. The disciples struggled because the wind was strong. Jesus came to His disciples, walking on the water.
When the disciples saw Him, they were afraid. “It is a ghost,” they cried.
But Jesus spoke to them and said, “Do not be afraid. I am coming to you.”
Peter heard Jesus and said, “Jesus, if it really is You, let me walk to You on the water.” Jesus replied, “Come.”
Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water to Jesus. Then Peter saw the wind blowing the water, and he became afraid. Peter began to sink in the water and cried out to Jesus, “Save me!” Jesus reached out and took Peter’s hand. Jesus said, “Why did you doubt?” Jesus and Peter got into the boat, and the wind stopped blowing. Jesus’ disciples were amazed. “Truly He is the Son of God,” they said.


Christ Focus: Jesus has the answers we need.
Life Point: People need Jesus.
Life Verse: All things work together for good for those who love God. Romans 8:28

Question: How did Jesus help Peter?
Question: What are some ways Jesus helps you?

Bringing the Story Home: Ask your child to think of something he/she wants to do by him/herself but must have help to accomplish (for example, driving a car). Help him/her know that some things are ones we cannot do on our own and that we need Jesus to help us.
