J4K

LET’s Talk

J4K Sea Cruise is an adventure cruise that takes the kids through 5 islands. The ship is captained by a Pirate who was a very bad person. She had gone on a trip to five islands. During that time she met the greatest friend (Jesus) and his life changed for good!

You will introduce the kids to this Pirate and help them learn from her experience. To do that you will go on a video call. Pretend to make a video call on the phone while showing the video to the children. You will have to pause the video intermittently and say a few words to make this session interactive. Please find the instructions in the script below. This session will be used to teach the Memory verse of the day as well.

Please find the script for the Destination Island (Island #5) video below:

Bible Event

Bible Portion: Jonah 4;
Story Outline:

Jonah did what God asked him to do. 1,20,000 people were saved. However, Jonah was not happy. Isn’t that surprising? When Jonah ask God for help after he had made the mistake, God saved him in a big way. But now he was angry at God for helping the people of Nineveh. He complained and complained.

God is good. He did not get angry at Jonah. Instead he taught him another big lesson. He made a leafy plant grow over the shelter Jonah was sitting in. It made the space a lot more cooler and Jonah felt so comfortable and happy that the plant grew over his roof. The next day, God sent a worm that ate all the leaves in the plant. The place became so hot and Jonah got very frustrated.

God said to Jonah, “Why are you upset about the plant being destroyed Jonah? You did not plant it nor did you water it. But you are sad that it is destroyed. Think about the people of Nineveh. How much more important they are than the plant that got destroyed. Shouldn’t you be happy that 1,20,000 people are changed and living a good life?”

What do you think of God’s lesson? (Let the children answer!)

God is good. He does not want anyone to perish. Even when people in the world hate him, He would go to any extent to save them. Would you try to be like God and help others make the right choices wherever you can?
