Witness & Testimony | Children's Church

Hi there! This was my first Children's Church Lesson. It happened to be the Sunday before Palm Sunday. I'm only posting them to see how things turn out but also in case someone else wanted to use them for anything. Feel Free!

Bare with my outlines. I've been practicing my notes different ways.

Greetings (My name is Reggie) How are you this morning?

We’ve been reading John with SPECIAL friends. (Some friends from the church, including the pastor and person that usually does Children’s Church are away on a mission trip and we’ve been doing a Bible Study on the book of John.)

     a. Coming up on Palm & Easter Sunday now (So are the chapters we’re reading.)

Do you know what happened before Palm Sunday in all of those chapters?

     a. Jesus was with people performing miracles.

Here are some of them:

     a. He helped the Samaritan woman C4

     b. He Healed a lame man C5

     c. He fed thousands with just a few loafs of bread C6

     d. He healed a blind man and gave him sight.C9

     e.  He raised Lazarus from the dead. C11

Tell  - Every miracle that Jesus performed, people got excited. Some got upset but usually the people that saw or felt Jesus do something couldn’t wait to go tell someone about what was done and  how they met. Talking about what God is doing in our lives is called 2 different things.

     a. Witnessing – Like our friends in Cuba.

     b. Sharing our Testimony

Witnessing and sharing our testimony are very important things because it helps others learn about God if they didn’t already know him. 

     a. Philemon – Says that sharing your testimony helps to make your faith complete.

     b. Revelations – Says that sharing your testimony helps defeat the devil.

Challenge – I challenge you this week to look for someone that you can share your experiences with.

Prayer - Dear Father, Thank you for being so close and personal with each of us. Help us be excited about spending time with you. Give us each a testimony & the courage to witness to others. Make our joy complete and let it be contagious to others. Bless & protect each of us on our way.
