Follow the Leader

Going Further

Hi Everyone! A couple of ideas for family activities after watching this video:

1) Family Time.

• Read Matt. 4:18-22 together.
• Discuss why Jesus chose the analogy of fishing.  
• Discuss what the difference is between fishing on a boat and fishing for men.
• Craft: tie a string around a popsicle stick and attach a heart at the end. Explain this “fishing pole” is a reminder that if we want to draw others to Jesus, it’s done by loving them.
• Discuss what we do when others are hard to love. Can we still love them if their behavior is wrong? Does Jesus still love us when our behavior is wrong?
• Think of ways to show others that we love them (acts of service, words of kindness and encouragement, gifts, etc.). Have each child journal acts of love during the week and then share them with the family next week.
• Play “Follow the Leader.” Discuss how others are watching us and following our example; it’s important that we follow Jesus.

2) Activities. Have fun using the activities below.

• Draw a picture about today’s lesson, take a picture of it and send it to Pastor Shaun so that it can be shared in next week’s video.
• Scroll down to the music videos and sing along.
• Have fun using the activities below.
