(Week 12 Jesus teaches)

 Jesus came to show us what God is like.  He came as a baby and had a family because God loves families.  When he was little He went to church because God loves church.  Jesus had friends because God thinks friends are really important.  Jesus did lots of amazing miracles because God is amazing and can do anything - even impossible things.   But Jesus didnt just do wonderful things, He also told everyone what God was like.

So what did Jesus say about God?

Well, He said that God is LOVE.  ( 1 John 4:8)  God is made of love and He is where all the love in the world comes from.  Who loves you?  Who do you love?  Well all of that love comes from God.  Isnt that brilliant?

Jesus said that God loves us more that anything but He is sad when we dont love Him back.   God is hurt when we choose to do what we want instead of what He wants.  Just like when our Mummys and Daddys tell us to do things, like brush our teeth or put our coats on or eat our vegetables.  They dont tell us these things because they are mean, they know that these are good things which will keep us healthy and warm and safe.  If we dont listen to God and do what He says then that is called ' sin'.  Jesus tells us that God doesnt like sin.

Jesus also told His friends that when we die life doesnt just stop.  When we die our bodies stop being alive but our spirits, the place where Jesus lives inside us, keep going.  If we know and love Jesus our spirits go to heaven to be with Him.  Isnt it amazing that we can live in heaven with Jesus forever and ever.?   This is the GOOD NEWS that Jesus wanted everyone to know.

This video recaps all our teaching so far.

week 3 - baby Jesus

   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiEtuCaOEB4&t=46s    (Play from 1 min 16sec as this follows on from last week) Last week we learned that Jesus is God but in a body that we can see.  When we look at Jesus we can see what God is like.  So whatever Jesus says and does is what God is saying and doing.  And the good thing is that even though Jesus was born a long long time ago, what He said and did was so amazing that lots of people wrote it all down so that they could tell other people who hadn't met Him.  Like us.  Lots of the stories of what Jesus did and what He said are gathered together in the Bible. ( show the kids a bible ) In those days there were no cameras and televisions.  There were no phones.  But there were books.  So reading was the main way that people got to hear about what was going on.   Four of Jesus's friends wrote about Jesus - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.  The books they wrote are calle...

week 2 - nativity

 Last week we learned that God is made up of three parts.  Can we remember what they were? God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit live in heaven which is a special place that we cant see.  We know it is there but we can't see it.   Can you see the wind?  No, but you know it is there cos you can see it blowing things ( use a windmill to demonstrate)   We cant see God but we can see what He does, (and in the past lots of people saw what God had done and wrote down these things in a book.  All the stories of what God has done are in the Bible and its a really good book to read if you want to know what God is like.   But God knows that its easier to understand stuff we can see so thats why He decided to show us what He looks like by sending the Son, Jesus.   Remember that Jesus is a part of God, but He is a part we can see!!! God wants people to know what He is like.  What do you think God is like? (let the kids tell you and...
