When we visit an aquarium, we find a whole world filled with sea creatures, plants, and more. Some of the discoveries we've made about what lives underwater can seem almost like a miracle. But it's not just under the sea where miracles happen-Jesus used water in some of his most well-known miracles! In this four-week series, kids will learn about some of the incredible miracles Jesus performed to help people grow closer to God. As they do, they'll learn how Jesus does everything out of love, calls us to follow him, knows what we need , and, most of all, that Jesus can do anything! BIG IDEAS & BIBLE STORIES Jesus does everything out of love. (Jesus Turns Water into Wine: John 2:1-12) Jesus calls us to follow him. (A Miraculous Catch of Fish: Luke 5:1-11) Jesus knows what we need. (The Healing at the Pool: John 5:1-9a) Jesus can do anything. (Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand: Matthew 15:29-39) WEEKLY CURRICULUM SUMMARIES: This week, kids will see the miracle of Jesus turning water into wine. When you step into an aquarium, you realize how water is more than just something to drink-it can be a home, a place to eat, and so much more. This week, we'll look at the story of when Jesus turned water into wine at a wedding. Jesus showed the guests that water can be so much more than we think, and his miracle helps us see that Jesus does everything out of love. This week, kids will see the miracle of Jesus providing Simon Peter, Andrew, James and John with boatloads of fish. Fish often travel in schools or groups because they've learned to trust each other and know things are easier as a group. This week, we'll look at the miracle of Jesus providing Simon Peter, Andrew, James, and John with boatloads of fish. Jesus did something miraculous to build trust in these men, and he does the same for us because Jesus calls us to follow him. This week, kids will see the miracle of Jesus healing a man who could not walk. There are so many different sea creatures in the world, and to take care of them, we have to know what each one of them needs. This week, we'll hear about the miracle of Jesus healing a man who couldn't walk. The man thought the water would heal him, but Jesus had something different in mind because Jesus knows what we need. This week, kids will see the miracle of Jesus feeding four thousand people. Aquariums don't just introduce us to amazing creatures, but they remind us that anything is possible underneath the ocean. This week, we'll hear about the time Jesus did something that seemed impossible and fed four thousand people. Even though there wasn't enough food for everyone, Jesus knew exactly how to help, and the story of how he cared for these people shows us that Jesus can do anything.
