Children's Ministry Message from Lori Herson, May 10, 2020
Happy Mother's Day! Thanks, moms, for all you are doing especially during these times to love and support your family! On this special day, I'm reminded of the verse found in Ephesians 2: "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." Do you know what your day holds today? Probably not. But God does, and He's given you enough grace for today. Walk with Him!
Below are some resources that you can use for you family Sunday worship time. We continue with the life and ministry of Jesus when He was on earth:
Here is a video of the lesson for Jesus' Early Miracles: https://sharesync.serverdata.net/us/s/RvNCHZR6z7Krx9ekNcKcRC003d1554

Here is some wording you can use with the lesson:
Early in His ministry, Jesus and His disciples traveled to Capernaum, a town on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Galilee. Capernaum became Jesus’ home and headquarters. (See Matt. 4:13.) He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, when people would gather to hear and learn from the Scriptures.
Jesus quickly set Himself apart from the scribes and other religious teachers. Unlike the scribes, who relied completely on traditional interpretations of the Torah from other teachers, Jesus spoke with authority. His teaching came from His own authority as the Author of truth, and it had a profound effect on His listeners—they were astonished!
The early miracles recorded in Mark 1 demonstrate Jesus’ power and authority as the Son of God. Jesus drove an unclean spirit from a man in the synagogue; even the demons obey His commands. Then Jesus healed Peter’s mother-in-law, and that evening the people in the town brought to Jesus all those who were sick or afflicted with unclean spirits. What did Jesus do? He healed them! (Mark 1:34)
Jesus’ miracles continued, and He healed a man with leprosy. Leprosy is a skin disease that would have marked a person as “unclean,” requiring him to be separated from the community. Jesus had compassion on the man and healed him immediately.
Jesus’ miracles brought many people to faith in Him. Jesus’ miracles proved that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God. They strengthened people’s faith and met their needs. Through Jesus, God did what is impossible for us to do on our own. He provided forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life.
