Teaching Truth

  • A miracle is something wonderful only God can do.

  • Jesus has the power to change lives because He is God.

Questions to Ask Your Child

  • What was wrong with the man at the temple?

  • Who healed the man at the temple?

  • What did the man do and how do you think he felt when his legs began to work?

Family Activity

The man jumped and leaped around giving praise to Jesus when his legs were healed. Help your child make a shaker to help celebrate just as the beggar celebrated after he was healed. Using an empty water bottle, fill the bottle with dry rice, dry beans, or beads. Screw the lid on tight and tie ribbons around the top. Let your child shake the water bottle and sing songs to praise God.

Wrap-Up

With each lesson, help your child apply what they have learned by asking, “What do you think God wants us to learn from this story?” If you get stuck with finding the answer, refer to the weekly Teaching Truths.
