Programme biblique pour enfants : niveau 1 – NT leçon 6 “En passant par le toit”

Passage étudié : Luc 5


Asset-21@2x

Les Juifs attendaient la venue d’un messie. Mais le Christ est venu comme un charpentier modeste, une personne ordinaire à leurs yeux. Et beaucoup de gens, notamment les chefs religieux, avaient du mal à croire que Jésus était envoyé par Dieu. Les anciens prophètes avaient prédit que le Messie permettrait aux sourds d’entendre et aux aveugles de voir. Les gens apprennent que Jésus est capable de guérir les malades, alors ils viennent de partout pour voir s’Il fera un miracle pour eux. Ils sont tellement nombreux à venir Le voir, qu’un jour, certaines personnes vont devoir faire preuve d’un peu de créativité pour permettre à un homme qui ne pouvait pas marcher d’approcher Jésus.

Disscusion :

  1. Comment les gens savaient-ils que Jésus avait le pouvoir de guérir les malades ?
  2. Quelles étaient les personnes qui venaient pour être guéries par Jésus ?
  3. Qu’ont fait les amis du paralytique en voyant qu’ils ne pourraient pas traverser la foule pour l’amener auprès de Jésus ?
  4. Qu’a fait Jésus lorsqu’Il a vu cet homme qui était descendu par le toit ?
  5. Pourquoi les pharisiens étaient-ils contrariés que Jésus dise au paralytique que ses péchés étaient pardonnés ?
  6. Qu’a fait l’homme lorsqu’il a été guéri ? Essaie d’imaginer la scène si tu avais pu assister à cette guérison.

Mémorisation :

Luc 5:24

“Or, afin que vous sachiez que le Fils de l’homme a sur la terre le pouvoir de pardonner les péchés : Je te l’ordonne, dit-il au paralytique, lève-toi, prends ton lit, et va dans ta maison.”


God’s Festivals – Pentecost

God wanted a family,

and from the beginning He made a plan for His children. Do you remember Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? God worked with each of these men, and because they obeyed him, he decided to work out His plan through them to have a family. The children of Jacob (whose name you might remember God changed to “Israel”) would become the example  children for the rest of the world. God wants all people to be His children, but He had to start with a few people first to be an example for everyone else. So God was working out His plan for all people on earth through the example of the Children of Israel!

So what does this have to do with Pentecost? Just wait and see!


How it works:

This Study Guide is written for the purpose of helping parents teach their children vital Biblical topics in a focused, easy-to-follow format. Each section is not meant to be taught in one lesson, rather the topics are organized so parents can choose specific areas of focus and gear lessons toward the learning styles and ages of their children. Each topic is presented in a straightforward manner with accompanying verses for study. The main study should always come from the Scripture itself, while these lessons can act as a guide for reading passages from the Bible. Each lesson packet includes memory verses, questions for meaningful discussion, and activities (added at the end of the packet). Also, though some things may be labeled as Level 1, 2, or 3, the activities, questions, and scriptures for memorizing can be used to fit the needs and learning levels for children of all ages. Enjoy!


Children’s Bible Program – Level 3: NT Lesson 1 “The Word”

Featured Passage: John 1


Asset-21@2x

The question of who Jesus Christ is and why we should worship Him is perhaps the biggest, most life-changing, thought a human being could consider! Many people take for granted that they know the answer to this profound question, and many others have not thought about it at all. However, God reveals the answer to this question in the Holy Bible. The answer to this question starts before Genesis…before the Beginning!

Discuss:

  • Who existed in “the beginning”?
  • What does the book of John say about “the Word”? Who was the One who spoke when the world was created? Who created the first man and woman?
  • What do you think it means when John says that “the world did not know Him [the Word]”?
  • John 1:14 says “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” Who did the Word become? 
  • Why did Jesus Christ come to live as a human being on earth?

Children’s Bible Program – Level 2: NT Lesson 1 “A Voice in the Wilderness”

Featured Passage: John 1


Asset-21@2x

God had a plan for the world from the beginning. The great Being called “the Word” spoke the world into existence, but God knew because of sin the world would need a Savior. That Savior would be “the Word” Himself, sent as the Son of God to save every human being who would ever live. To get the people ready for the coming of His Son, God prepared a special messenger—a prophet—to announce that God’s own Son would arrive very soon with a plan to save the world!

Discuss:

  • Who is Jesus? 
  • Who did some Jews think John the Baptist was? Who did he say he was? (Be careful not to confuse John the apostle with John the Baptist! The Apostle John wrote the book of John.)
  • Why did John baptize people? What does it mean to repent?
  • Why did John baptize Jesus since we know that he never sinned? (You may find some help for this question in Matthew 3)
  • What is a disciple? Can you name one of John’s disciples who became Jesus’ disciple? 
  • What four men named in this chapter became Jesus’ disciples? Do you think they knew one another?

Children’s Bible Program – Level 3: NT Lesson 2 “The God of Israel”

Featured Passage: 1 Corinthians 10


Asset-21@2x

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob all had a personal relationship with God. Moses saw God and talked with Him (Exodus 33:18-23, Deuteronomy 34:10). How can this be true when the scriptures state that no one has seen God at any time (John 1:18)? We can understand the answer to this question when we understand that there are two God beings in the God family. God, who was later known as the Father, has never interacted directly with mankind, and no man has ever seen or spoken with Him. The Word who became Jesus Christ was the God of Israel.

Asset-22@2x

Discuss:

  1. The Word had to empty himself of his divinity in order to be born as a human (Philippians 2:5-11). What does this tell us about what He is like?
  2. Who is listed at the beginning of the genealogy of Jesus Christ in Matthew? Do you recognize any other people mentioned in the list?
  3. Have a Luke at the genealogy in Luke 3 and compare it to the one in Matthew. How far back does the one in Luke go? What are some reasons the lists are different?
  4. God carefully selected Jesus’ parents. What are some of the character traits Mary and Joseph must have had to be chosen for this honor? 
  5. Christ lived without committing a single sin for His entire life (2 Corinthians 5:21). Could we have access to eternal life if Christ had sinned?

Mary, Jesus’ mother, was going to a wedding! Jesus and some of His disciples were also invited. The wedding was being held in a little village called Cana. There were lots of people there having a good time when Mary noticed a problem. They had run out of wine. She came to tell Jesus right away. But what could He do about it?

Children’s Bible Program – Level 3: NT Lesson 3 “The Son of God”

Featured Passage: Matthew 1; Isaiah 53


Asset-21@2x

The prophets, like Isaiah and Jeremiah, spoke of the Messiah–the one who would come and restore the glory of Israel. They also spoke about One who would suffer and die to save all mankind. From the beginning, God planned to create human beings who could become like Him and live in His family forever and ever. God knew that because of sin, people would need to be saved from the penalty of death. So They planned that the Word would be born as a human being and would die to pay the penalty for the sins of all mankind.

Children’s Bible Program – Level 3: NT Lesson 4 “The King of Kings”

Featured Passage: Matthew 4; Isaiah 9, 11


Asset-21@2x

Jesus had been baptized and was preparing to begin His important ministry on earth. God had a very important mission for Him, and He knew that the lives of every human being depended on Him to be successful in the mission. Jesus also knew that if He succeeded He would one day earn a brand new title. He was about to be tested in a way He never had been before. He was about to enter a battle against the current ruler of the world – the one whose name literally means “adversary”.

Asset-22@2x

Discuss:

  1. Who is the god/ruler of this current age? (Hint: Have a look in 2 Corinthians)
  2. In what ways did Satan tempt Christ? How did Christ respond? What are some ways we can respond when we are being tempted to do something wrong?
  3. Why do you think Satan offered to give Jesus the kingdoms of the world? 
  4. What title(s) will Jesus Christ have when He returns to the earth? What will happen to Satan at that time?
  5. Christ will not return to the earth alone, the saints will be with Him. Who are the saints? What will the saints’ role be in the Kingdom of God? Why do you think Satan would be angry about that?
  6. What are some ways that life will change when Christ and the saints rule the earth?

Children’s Bible Program – Level 2: NT Lesson 3 “Born Again”

Featured Passage: John 3


Asset-21@2x

As Jesus began His ministry He became more popular among the people in the region. The Jewish leaders, the Pharisees and Sadducees, started to notice. The Sadducees were a group of Jews who had more liberal interpretation of the law and did not believe in angels or the resurrection. On the other hand, the Pharisees were very strict; they thought that following all their extra rules made them righteous. Jesus taught God’s law as it was in the Holy Scriptures which made the Jewish leaders angry. However, one leader came to Jesus seeking the truth.

Children’s Bible Program – Level 2: NT Lesson 4 “Woman at the Well”

Featured Passage: John 4


Asset-21@2x

After spending some time teaching in Judea, Jesus and the disciples headed home for Galilee. The shortest route to get there was to go through Samaria. Samaria had been in the land of the Kingdom of Israel before God allowed them to be taken into captivity by the Assyrians. The King of Assyria replaced the Israelites with people who mixed the worship of the true God with paganism (2 Kings 17:24-33). The Jews didn’t like the Samaritans and would usually travel many extra miles around Samaria to avoid meeting them–but not Jesus.

Asset-22@2x

Discuss:

  1. Why was the woman at the well surprised that Jesus asked her for a drink of water? From whose well did the woman draw water? 
  2. What did Jesus mean by “living water”?
  3. What did the woman do when she realized who Jesus was? 
  4. Why do you think the disciples were surprised to see Jesus talking to the Samaritan woman? 
  5. What did Jesus call His “food”?  
  6. What is the work that Jesus was doing? What are some ways you can help do the work that Jesus is doing today?
