Did you know?
The Sea of Galilee sits 686 feet below sea level, and it’s not uncommon for violent storms to arise producing waves over seven feet high!
Jesus slept soundly during the storm while His disciples were fearing for their lives.
Connect as a Family
Your child is beginning to develop his imagination. Make some waves during bath time and allow him to act out this part of The Big God Story.
What was Jesus doing during the storm?
Sleeping! That’s right … Jesus wasn’t scared, because He is God and that’s amazing.
Blessing
Blessings are often used in the Bible. A blessing can be a prayer of commission, a portion of Scripture, or words to encourage and guide.
Open a Bible and read John 20v31a: “But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God.”
A blessing to pray over your child; (Child’s Name), I pray you will come to understand and know that Jesus is God and experience how amazing He is.
