Seeing God's WorldMade for RelationshipsMatthew 22:34-40; Genesis 2:18-24; 1 John 4:19-21When someone asked Jesus for the greatest commandment, He gave two that belong together – love God with everything, and love your neighbor as yourself. From the beginning God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone." We were made for relationship with God and with each other.New TestamentLove
Well Done! The Parable of the TalentsMatthew 25:14-30Jesus told a story about a master who went on a long trip. Before he left, he trusted his servants with his money. He gave one servant five talents, another two and another one, each "according to his own ability." The first two servants went right to work and doubled the money. The third dug a hole and hid his talent because he was afraid. When the master came back, he said to the two faithful servants, "Well done, good and faithful servant! Enter into the joy of your master!" Jesus is coming back too. Until then, He trusts us to use what He has given us.New TestamentResponsibility
With Building BricksJesus Is Alive: JoyMatthew 28:1-10; John 16:22; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4Jesus died on the cross, and His body was put in a tomb cut into rock. A huge stone was rolled in front of it. Early on Sunday morning, two women named Mary went to the tomb. Suddenly the ground shook! An angel rolled the stone away and sat on it. He said, "Don't be afraid. Jesus is not here. He has risen, just as He said! Come and see." The women ran with great joy to tell the disciples, and on the way, Jesus met them! Joy is the deep gladness God gives, because Jesus is alive and nothing can take Him away from us.New TestamentJoy
Make Way for Jesus: John the BaptistMark 1:1-8; John 1:19-34; John 3:26-30God sent John the Baptist to get people ready for Jesus. John lived in the wilderness, wore camel's hair and ate locusts and wild honey. Crowds came to hear him, and people turned from their sins and were baptized. Leaders asked, "Who are you? Are you the Christ?" John said, "No. I'm just a voice getting the way ready. I'm not even worthy to untie His sandals." When Jesus came, John pointed and said, "Look, the Lamb of God!" Later he said, "He must increase; I must decrease." Humility means making much of Jesus, not of ourselves.New TestamentHumility
With Building BricksThe Friends Who Opened the RoofMark 2:1-12; Luke 5:17-26; Galatians 6:2Four friends couldn't get their paralyzed friend to Jesus, so they opened the roof and lowered him down. Jesus forgave his sins and then healed him. Real friends carry each other to Jesus, because Jesus carries our biggest burden.New TestamentFriendship
Jesus the KingJesus Calms the StormMark 4:35-41; Psalm 107:23-31When a terrible storm hit the disciples' boat, Jesus woke up and said, "Peace, be still!" and the wind and waves obeyed Him.New TestamentFreePeace
With Building BricksJesus Calms the Storm: TrustMark 4:35-41; Mark 5:1; Psalm 56:3One evening, Jesus said to His disciples, "Let us cross to the other side." They got into a boat on the Sea of Galilee. Jesus was tired, so He fell asleep on a cushion. Then a huge storm came. Waves crashed into the boat and filled it with water. The disciples were terrified. "Teacher, don't You care that we are dying?" Jesus got up and said to the sea, "Silence! Be still!" The wind stopped, and it was perfectly calm. Jesus had said they would reach the other side, and they did. Trust means depending on Jesus and His word, even in a storm.New TestamentTrust
Jairus’s Daughter and the Woman Who Touched JesusMark 5:21-43Jairus begged Jesus to come heal his dying daughter. On the way, a sick woman touched Jesus' cloak and was healed, and Jesus stopped to talk with her. Then news came that the girl had died. Jesus said, "Do not be afraid; just believe." He took her hand, and she got up! We can trust Jesus even when it seems too late.New TestamentTrust
Jesus Blesses the ChildrenMark 10:13-16; Matthew 19:13-15; Luke 18:15-17When people brought little children to Jesus, His disciples tried to send them away. Jesus was upset and said, "Let the little children come to Me." He took them in His arms and blessed them. Jesus loves children and welcomes everyone who comes to Him like a child.New TestamentLove
The Rich Young Ruler: One Thing You LackMark 10:17-27; Matthew 19:16-26; Luke 18:18-27; Hebrews 13:5A rich man ran up to Jesus, knelt and asked, "What must I do to inherit eternal life?" He said he had kept the commandments since he was a boy. Jesus looked at him and loved him. "One thing you lack," Jesus said. "Go, sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me." But the man went away sad, because he had great wealth. Jesus said it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter God's kingdom – but "all things are possible with God." Contentment means being satisfied with what we have, because Jesus is our greatest treasure.New TestamentContentment
Blind BartimaeusMark 10:46-52; Luke 18:35-43Blind Bartimaeus kept shouting for Jesus even when the crowd told him to be quiet. Jesus stopped, called him over and asked, "What do you want Me to do for you?" Jesus healed him, and Bartimaeus followed Jesus. Jesus hears us, so we keep coming to Him and never give up.New TestamentPerseverance
The Widow’s OfferingMark 12:38-44; Luke 21:1-4At the temple, Jesus watched people put money into the offering box. Rich people gave lots of money. Then a poor widow gave two tiny coins. Jesus said she gave more than all of them, because she gave everything she had. God sees our hearts, and He loves when we give with love.New TestamentGenerosity
His Name Is John: Zechariah and ElizabethLuke 1:5-25; Luke 1:57-80Zechariah the priest and his wife Elizabeth loved God, but they were old and had no children. One day, while Zechariah burned incense in the temple, the angel Gabriel told him, "Your prayer has been heard." They would have a son named John, who would get people ready for the Lord. Zechariah didn't believe it, so he couldn't speak until it happened. When baby John was born, Zechariah wrote, "His name is John," and right away he could talk again, and he praised God with a song about the Savior who was coming. God hears our prayers and keeps His promises, right on time.New TestamentPrayer
Jesus the KingAn Angel Visits MaryLuke 1:26-38; Luke 1:5-20The angel Gabriel told Mary she would be the mother of Jesus, God's Son, and Mary trusted God's word, because nothing is impossible with God.New TestamentFaith
My Soul Magnifies the Lord: Mary Visits ElizabethLuke 1:39-56; 1 Samuel 2:1-10After the angel visited Mary, she hurried to the hill country to see her relative Elizabeth, who was going to have a baby in her old age. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, her baby jumped for joy, and the Holy Spirit filled her. "Why am I so honored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?" she said. Then Mary sang a song of praise – "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!" – because God had looked on her humble state and was keeping His promise to send a Savior. God lifts up the humble, and humble hearts praise Him.New TestamentHumility
Jesus the KingJesus Is BornLuke 2:1-20; Micah 5:2In Bethlehem, God's Son was born as a baby and laid in a manger, and angels told shepherds the good news of great joy that a Savior was born.New TestamentJoy
My Eyes Have Seen Your Salvation: Simeon and AnnaLuke 2:21-38; Isaiah 49:6When baby Jesus was about six weeks old, Mary and Joseph brought Him to the temple in Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord. An old man named Simeon had waited his whole life to see the Savior God promised, and the Holy Spirit had told him he would see the Christ before he died. Simeon took baby Jesus in his arms and praised God – "My eyes have seen Your salvation," a light for all the nations. Then Anna, a very old woman who worshiped at the temple night and day, came and thanked God and told everyone who was waiting about the child. God keeps His promises, and waiting for Him is worth it.New TestamentPatience
Jesus the KingBoy Jesus at the TempleLuke 2:41-52When Jesus was twelve, He stayed at the temple in Jerusalem listening and asking questions about God's Word, and He kept growing in wisdom.New TestamentWisdom
Jesus the KingJesus Calls FishermenLuke 5:1-11After a night of catching nothing, Peter trusted Jesus' word and let down the nets, caught so many fish the nets began to break, and left everything to follow Jesus.New TestamentFaith
Just Say the Word: The Centurion’s ServantLuke 7:1-10A Roman army officer in Capernaum had a servant who was very sick. The town leaders told Jesus, "This man is worthy of Your help." But the officer sent word, "I am not worthy for You to come to my house. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed." Jesus was amazed at his faith, and the servant was healed. When we come to Jesus humbly, we can trust His powerful word.New TestamentHumility
Do Not Weep: Jesus and the Widow of NainLuke 7:11-17; 1 Kings 17:17-24; Numbers 19:11; John 11:25Jesus and His disciples, with a big crowd, came near the town of Nain. At the town gate they met a funeral. A widow's only son had died, and she was walking behind his coffin, crying. No one asked Jesus for help. But when the Lord saw her, His heart went out to her. "Do not weep," He said. He touched the coffin and said, "Young man, I tell you, get up!" The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother. Everyone praised God – "God has visited His people!" Compassion means seeing someone's hurt, caring and coming close to help, the way Jesus does.New TestamentCompassion
Fruit of the SpiritFruit of the Spirit: LoveLuke 7:36-50; Galatians 5:22-23; John 13:34-35When a woman who had done many wrong things came to Jesus, she washed His feet with her tears and poured out perfume, because He had forgiven her. Simon, the proud host, gave Jesus nothing. Love is the first fruit God's Spirit grows in us, and it grows when we know how much we are loved and forgiven.New TestamentLove
Jesus the KingThe Good SamaritanLuke 10:25-37; 2 Chronicles 28:8-15When an expert in the law asked, "Who is my neighbor?", Jesus told a story about a Samaritan who stopped to care for a hurt stranger, and said, "Go and do likewise."New TestamentCompassion
With Building BricksThe Good Samaritan: LoveLuke 10:25-37; 1 John 4:19; Romans 5:8An expert in God's law asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?" Jesus told a story. A man was walking down the road to Jericho when robbers beat him up and left him half dead. A priest came by, but he passed by on the other side. A Levite did the same. Then a Samaritan came. Jews and Samaritans didn't get along, but he stopped. He bandaged the man, put him on his donkey and took him to an inn. He paid for everything. Then Jesus turned the question around. "Which one was a neighbor to the man?" Love doesn't ask, "Who do I have to love?" It asks, "Who can I love?" We love because God first loved us.New TestamentLove
