Matthew 14v22–33; Mark 6v45–51. After praying, Jesus walked on the water to meet the disciples, who were out on the lake in a boat. Peter walked out on the water to meet Jesus. When Peter became afraid and began to sink, Jesus saved him.

Where we’re headed next time:

Big Idea: Jesus is King (part 1)

Matthew 21v1–11; Mark 11v1–11; Luke 19v28–38 Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. As Jesus rode into the city, the people celebrated while they shouted, “Hosanna, Hosanna!”

Dig into God’s Word

• Read Matthew 21v7–9. After reading, let your child know that by spreading their garments on the road in front of Jesus, the people were honoring Him as King.

Connect as a family

Your child enjoys role-play and dress-up. Allow your child to dress as royalty. Be sure to include a discussion about Jesus, our true King who loves us!

• What did the people say when Jesus came riding into Jerusalem?

• “Hosanna!” “Blessed is the king!”

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 Zechariah 9v9: “Rejoice! … Your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey.”
