Today we're gonna see that Jesus is really powerful, even more powerful than this and this
and this.
He's more powerful than anything, even the things that really scare us.
So here's our big idea for today: Jesus is powerful.
Let's do those motions together.
Jesus is powerful.
Now do you know what this is?
It's a Bible, and it's all about God's story and how he rescued us.
In the beginning, God made the whole world and everything in it.
He made the sun and moon and planets and stars.
He made forests and mountains and oceans.
He made all kinds of animals like lions and elephants and birds.
Next, God made his most special creation of all - people like you and me.
The first two people were named Adam and Eve.
They lived in a beautiful garden filled with flowers and trees and fruit.
They got to spend time with God every day, and it was good.
Can you show good?
Great job.
Something sad happened.
Can you show me sad?
A snake lied to Adam and Eve, and they believed him and disobeyed God.
Then all the wrong things came into the world, like sickness and sadness and death.
But the story doesn't stop there, because even though Adam and Eve
disobeyed God, God still loved them, just like he loves us.
And he came up with a rescue plan so that Adam and Eve and you and me could be close to God again.
And our rescuer is Jesus.
Can you show me the sign for Jesus?
Great job.
One day, Jesus got on a boat kind of like this with his friends, and he sailed out into the sea.
Everything was peaceful.
The water was calm.
The weather was so nice.
So Jesus went to sleep.
While they were in the middle of the sea and Jesus was still asleep, a huge storm rolled in.
The water was crashing in the boat, rain was flying everywhere, the waves were huge.
Just imagine how scared Jesus's friends must have felt.
If you were on those waters in a tiny boat and a storm that loud was echoing all around you,
would you feel scared?
Me too.
Let's see what happens next.
Hmm.
Oh.
Hmm.
Wow, so who stopped that storm?
Yep, Jesus.
He is so powerful that he can just tell a storm to stop, and it stops.
The disciples didn't have to be afraid, because Jesus is powerful enough to do anything.
He is powerful enough to stop storms,
and he's also more powerful than any other thing that scares us.
Is Jesus more powerful than big dinosaurs that stomp and roar?
Yes.
Is Jesus more powerful than a really scary movie that makes us want to hide under our covers?
Yes.
Is Jesus powerful enough to help us when we feel sad or scared or lonely?
Yes.
He is more powerful than anything.
And when we are afraid or sad, we can ask Jesus to help us.
We can talk to him and ask him to be powerful.
In fact, let's do that right now.
Let's pray to Jesus right now.
When we pray that means we talk with Jesus and listen to him and he listens to us, too.
You can say these words after me.
Hi, God.
We love you.
You are so powerful.
Thank you for always being with us.
Amen.
Now, let's worship.
We're going to give all our attention to Jesus.
So let's stand up and sing as loud as you can while we sing this special song.
Do not be frightened
Do not be dismayed
Do not be frightened
Do not be dismayed
You say be strong and take courage
