Discussion:
-Today we are going to talk about a time one of the disciples called on Jesus when they were really afraid and how Jesus helped them.
-One day Jesus was with his disciples.
-He wanted to pray alone for a while so he sent his disciples in a boat ahead of him.
-It was very windy (Have the kids pretend to be wind)
-The boat was tossing back and forth in the wind.
-Jesus was ready to go and see the disciples.
-Most normal people would have called for the boat
-Instead Jesus decided to walk out to the boat.
-Do people float? (Drop figures in the bowl of water)
-When the disciples saw Jesus walking towards them they were terrified. They thought he was a ghost.
-Jesus said, “Don’t be afraid. It is only me.”
-Peter called out to Jesus, “Jesus if it is you tells me to come out on the water to you.”
-Jesus told him to come.
-Peter began to walk out on the water towards Jesus. He must have really trusted Jesus to do such a thing.
Then Peter looked around Him – He took His eyes off Jesus and started looking at how bad the wind and the waves were. He got really scared.
-What do you think started to happen?
-He started to sink,
-Peter cried out to Jesus.
-Jesus reached out and grabbed him and saved him.
