Revealed: a 5-Week Teaching Series for Children's Ministry TOPIC: Jesus' Parables SCRIPTURE: Gospels DECORATING THEME: Illusions AGE GROUP: Elementary (Get the Preschool version here !) An illusionist's motto is "magicians never reveals their secrets." That is because once we figure out the mechanics of how each illusion is performed, the act loses its "magic." Jesus, however, shares with us all the trade secrets of being in a relationship with God and serving the Kingdom of God. Often times, it was through teaching with parables that these "secrets" were revealed, secrets such as: I can be a part of something big, God will never stop loving me, God made me to do great things, and God forgives me. Of course, kids will quickly learn that these aren't secrets at all and that they should share it EVERYONE! BIG IDEAS & BIBLE STORIES God can help me grow.
