The Christmas story isn't just about the birth of a baby. It's about the arrival of the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace promised in the book of Isaiah. In Christmas Unwrapped 4-Week Children's Ministry Curriculum, kids will explore the Christmas story and discover why “Jesus matters to me.”
MEMORY VERSE:
“And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. ” Isaiah 9:6b (NIV)
LESSONS:
1) Wonderful Counselor - A counselor is someone who you can turn to for advice, for a shoulder to lean on, for help with your problems. A counselor is there for you. Jesus is our wonderful counselor; he is there for us. Jesus is God with us. Scripture: Isaiah 9:6-7, A Child Is Born & Matthew 1:18-23, Immanuel
2) Mighty God - When the angel told Mary that she would give birth to Jesus, she thought that it couldn't be possible. But the angel reminded her, “Nothing is impossible with God.” When we face hard times or confusing things, we can turn to Jesus. Jesus is our Mighty God; nothing is impossible for him. Scripture: Luke 1:26-38
3) Everlasting Father - When something is everlasting, it means that it will never end. When King Herod learned that Jesus had been born, he knew his kingdom was coming to an end, so he tried to stop Jesus. Jesus loves us like a good father, and we can take comfort in knowing that Jesus’ love and Jesus’ kingdom will never end. Scripture: Matthew 2:1-16
4) Prince of Peace - When the angels told the shepherds that Jesus had been born, they said that He would bring peace. Even though we will have hard times, and sad times, if we bring our troubles and worries to God, He will bring us peace. Scripture: Luke 2:1-20
