Block Party Children's Ministry Curriculum Lesson Overview

Memory Verse:

“But I trust in your faithful love. My heart is filled with joy because you will save me.” – Psalm 13:5 (NIRV)

Lessons:

A Little Fishy

Scripture: Mark 1:16-20, Jesus Calls His First Disciples

Jesus went around looking for people with a little bit of faith to leave everything behind and follow Him. Jesus took a group of fishermen and built them into his first disciples.

Block Build: Boat on the water

Objective: Kids will learn “Putting your faith in Jesus builds a great new life.” 

Move Mountains

Scripture: Matthew 17:14-21, Jesus Heals a Boy

The disciples wondered why they were unable to drive out the demons that controlled a young boy when Jesus was able to take care of it right away. Jesus said they lacked faith. Even a little faith can have big results – like moving mountains!

Block Build: Mountain

Objective: Kids will learn “Just a little faith in Jesus can move mountains.”

Bring the House Down

Scripture: Luke 5:17-26, Jesus Forgives and Heals

A group of men had a friend who could not walk, but they had faith that Jesus could heal him. They were willing to go to whatever means necessary to get their friend to Jesus. Their faith reminds us that we should get rid of anything that keeps us from getting closer to Jesus.

Block Build: House with a hole in the roof

Objective: Kids will learn “Nothing should come between us and Jesus.”

Believing Is Seeing

Scripture: Matthew 8:5-13, The Faith of the Centurion

In Jesus’ time, Romans were considered outsiders by the people in Israel. One Roman Centurion had faith that Jesus could heal his sick servant. His faith was so strong, he knew that Jesus could perform a miracle even without going to the sick servant. Jesus praised this “outsider” for his faith and told the “insiders” that they should try to be more like him.

Block Build: A Fortress

Objective: Kids will learn “No matter who we are, we can put our faith in Jesus.”

Cross Paths

Scripture: Luke 23:36-43, The Thief on the Cross

As Jesus hung on the cross, the people mocked and jeered at him. But one man – a thief who hung beside Jesus – recognized that Jesus was the true King and Savior. Despite the terrible conditions, the thief put his faith in Jesus. . . and was rewarded with paradise with Jesus.

Block Build: What Heaven might be like

Objective: Kids will learn “If I put my faith in Jesus, I can have eternal life!”

EACH LESSON INCLUDES:

Make It Stick! Parent Sheet - so you can let mom and dad know what kids are learning each week and look like a rockstar teacher who's thought of everything.

Memory Verse - so that you can make sure kids are getting Scripture in their minds and hearts every single week and you can feel like each lesson was a success even when it seems like 90% of your lesson time is spent saying things like "calm down", "let's be quiet", "hands to yourself!"

Skit or Puppet Show - so you have a way to easily connect the lesson with your hands-on and visual learners. No drama team? No problem! Just hand the script to the kids. They'll have a blast and think you're the coolest.

Craft Activity - so you can give kids a physical reminder of the Bible lesson (and give yourself an activity to keep them busy until mom and dad come back!)

Game - so kids don't leave and say church was BORING! Games are so important to help keep kids engaged. Our large group games always include a "What's The Point" section to help you connect the game to the lesson.

Large Group Lesson - so you can present the Bible story in a clear and fun way, which means now you can enjoy Saturday nights instead of stressing over putting a lesson together!

Small-Group Discussion - so you can find out who was paying attention and who was talking to their neighbor.  Just kidding, this is a great way for you to build deeper relationships with your kiddos after each lesson, which means you're going to care about them so much you'll cry like a baby when they graduate and go to middle school :(

More! - Yes, there is even more than all of that so that you can easily put together the perfect lesson for your ministry each weekend, which means no more agonizing over how to adjust complicated lesson plans.
