1 date: Bible Passage: Matthew 8:1 4; 9:18 26; Mark 5:21 43 (Healing of the Leper, Jairus s Daughter, Sick Woman) REMEMBER VERSE I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20 God Responds When I Call for Help Schedule Anticipate 5 10 minutes Celebrate & Respond Large Group minutes Respond & Bless Small Group minutes Environment: OUT OF COMFORT ZONE In this lesson, we see the environment of OUT OF THE COMFORT ZONE in how Jesus responds when we call for help and seek after Him to meet our needs..

2 Inspire NOTES: I ve seen amazing miracles of healing and faith. I know someone who has been healed of lymphoma. I know other people who have been healed of injuries. I ve watched God transform the hearts of my father, my friends, and myself. God has answered my prayers and the prayers of people around me. However, I ve cried out to God for certain things, and it s felt like He never heard me. After a while I felt discouraged and stopped crying out for these needs to be fulfilled. I thought, What s the point? He s not responding, so I might as well stop asking. But many times in my life, I ve realized that this experience, this moment, this feeling of freedom or peace is exactly what I d prayed for. I realized that even when I stopped fervently begging God to free me of an emotional plague or heal my friend s mom of cancer, God was still working on His response to that prayer. He isn t hindered by time. He has all the patience in the world. I m the one who became impatient and lost sight of the fact that He s in control and responds in His own timing. God is big and powerful as well as attentive and loving. Though He could choose to ignore us, He hears our cries. Though He could choose to leave us to suffer alone, He responds to us in our need.

3 Equip A simple touch from Jesus but it was so much more. These three accounts in Scripture describe a touch between Jesus and someone who needed Him. A man with leprosy called out to Jesus for help, and Jesus did the unthinkable. Jesus didn t just heal the man; He touched him. We don t know how long this man had been suffering from leprosy, a contagious skin disease, but it could have been years since he d felt the warmth of human touch. Lepers were forced to walk on the other side of the street. One simple act of kindness healed this man s heart as well as his body. Then, a woman who had been suffering with a malady for 12 long years stepped way outside of her comfort zone to ask for help from Jesus. Because her illness involved an issue of blood, she was perpetually unclean and not allowed to enter the temple to worship. And anyone she touched would be unclean for a time as well. So she gathered up her courage and reached out for the hem of the Rabbi s robe for this was where a rabbi s authority was displayed. Just like a modern-day soldier exhibits his rank and honors on his uniform, rabbis and other leaders sewed their symbols of authority into the hems of their robes. So this woman with an issue of blood touched the symbol of authority on Jesus robe, and even though she knew she would be despised and cast out for making this Rabbi unclean, she trusted in God and Jesus healed her. Finally, the touch of Jesus brought a young child back to life and returned hope to a family previously lost in despair. A touch from Jesus brings life. When we call out to God, He responds. Environment of OUT OF THE COMFORT ZONE As children are challenged to step out of their comfort zones from an early age, they learn to experience a dependence on the Holy Spirit to equip and strengthen them beyond their natural abilities and desires. We believe this environment will cultivate a generation that, instead of seeking comfort, seeks a radical life of faith in Christ. The 10 Environments guide us in creating a climate that puts God on display.

4 Support In this lesson, Jesus commends a woman for her faith to go out of her comfort zone and crawl through the crowd to touch Him. Jesus also encourages faith from Jairus when the man hears from his friends that his daughter has died. Though God is faithful, faith isn t an automatic formula for getting what we want, or even what we think we need. Though we might have to wait patiently, God always turns to us and hears our cry. He might not respond in the way we would have imagined, but He hears, and He responds. TIMELINE ADAM & EVE NOAH ABRAHAM ISAAC JACOB JOSEPH MOSES JOSHUA DAVID SOLOMON Is there a place in your life where you need God to hear your cry? Have you given up hope that He will hear you in this area? Take hope. God is listening, and He will respond to your cry in His timing. 400 YEARS OF WAITING Pray the children would know that God will hear them and respond to them too. God loves them and cares about them because they are His children. Though they might need to be patient, they can trust that God will hear and respond.

7 SMALL GROUP SECTION Anticipate// 5 10 min. Small Group Leaders An energizing time for parents and kids to start engaging with the material that will be presented in the lesson. It is intentionally designed to spark curiosity and cultivate a sense of awe and wonder about God. Encourage parents to participate in this time with their kids. Feeling for Paper Clips Today the children will hear how Jesus healed three people through touch. Invite the children to participate in the following ANTICIPATE activity to get thinking about the sense of touch. SUPPLIES bucket or large bowl (1 gal.) uncooked rice (about 5 lbs.) paper clips (10) blindfold clock or stopwatch SET UP Pour rice into the bucket or large bowl and add the paper clips as you pour. ENGAGE Have the children form a circle. Place the bucket of rice in the center. Then ask for a volunteer to go first. Cover that child s eyes with the blindfold, and have her reach into the rice and try to find as many paper clips as possible within 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, count the paper clips, put them back into the bucket, mix them in with the rice, and ask another volunteer to try finding the paper clips. Repeat until everyone has had a chance to play. Isn t it amazing how not being able to see helps you focus on what you re touching? In today s portion of The Big God Story, we ll hear about three people a leper, a little girl, and a sick woman whose lives were changed by touching Jesus. 7

8 LARGE GROUP SECTION Celebrate//20 35 min. Host/Storyteller Kids get to be a part of the faith community of God s family. They participate in Traditions and share them with newcomers, connect through fun and interaction, and experience The Big God Story through Storytelling. Passin Party A Group Tradition Have the children pass an invisible ball from person to person across the room, as they add their own personal style to the way they pass the ball. Each time the ball is passed, try to make sure someone new gets a chance to catch it. Play upbeat music, and encourage the children to get creative and have fun! Welcome and Traditions REMEMBER VERSE This week s Remember Verse comes from the environment of OUT OF THE COMFORT ZONE, which says God transforms me when I step out in faith. The environment changes every four weeks. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20 Connect Question Would you rather visit the doctor or the dentist? Why? Activity: Number Off SUPPLIES Connect Activity slide (see Resource Files) ENGAGE Number off the children one, two, and three. Have the kids quickly get into groups as you call out different numbers of people needed for each number group. For example, you might say, I need five ones in the corner by the couch, and I need three twos by the door. Call out groups until everyone is in a group of two or more people. Finally, when you re ready to end the activity, have all the ones come together, all the twos come together, and all the threes come together. Raise your hand if you re in a group right now. (Allow kids to raise their hands.) When we re with someone else, we have someone to call on when we need help. Today we ll hear about some people who called on Jesus when they needed help. As Christians, we re never alone because God is always with us, and we can call on Him for help any time. 8

9 NOTES: The Big God Story Leader Tip Before sharing this part of The Big God Story, tell your kids they re about to hear a true story that s recorded in the Bible. Open your Bible to Matthew 8, and invite children to follow along in their own Bibles as you storytell. Ponder Point: God Responds When I Call for Help Bible Passage: Matthew 8:1 4; 9:18 26; Mark 5:21 43 Storytelling Technique: Calling for Help and Images SUPPLIES Bibles (1 per child) Timeline slide and animation (see Resource Files) images: Leper, Jairus s Daughter, Sick Woman (see Resource Files) SET UP Cue the images. ENGAGE Have the children stay in their groups from the CONNECT activity. If you didn t do the CONNECT activity, have the children form three groups, and have each group sit together. As we hear today s part of The Big God Story today, I m going to need your help. Group one, you ll represent the leper. Group two, you Il represent Jairus. Group three, you ll represent the sick woman. When I point to your group, you ll shout, Jesus, help! (Practice a few times.) Jesus responded to all of these people when they called for help. The leper was a man with a terrible skin disease called leprosy. In Bible times, if someone suffered from a disease, people sometimes believed that person deserved it because that person was sinful. Sick people were considered unclean. Religious leaders and Jews were taught to stay away from unclean people so they themselves wouldn t become unclean! That s why people with leprosy were forced to live outside the city. 9

10 The Big God Story NOTES: As Jesus traveled around, preaching, healing, casting out demons, and demonstrating God s love, He came upon this man with leprosy. (Show Leper Image. Point to group one, prompting them to shout, Jesus, help! ) Great job! Let s all turn to Matthew 8:1 in our Bibles. The leper knelt before Jesus and said (get on knees and beg), Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean (Matthew 8:2). The leper had faith that Jesus could heal him and make him clean. But no religious person would go near an unclean leper, let alone touch him. Even so, Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. I am willing, he said. Be clean! (Matthew 8:3). Another man named Jairus, a leader in the synagogue, had a 12-year-old daughter who was dying. (Show Jairus s Daughter Image. Point to group two, prompting them to shout, Jesus, help! Then invite children to turn to Mark 5:23.) Jairus pleaded with Jesus (fold your hands and beg), My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live (v. 23). Jesus started walking to Jairus s house to heal the girl. But crowds pressed in all around him. A lot of people wanted to hear and see Jesus. Have any of you ever been in a crowd with a lot of people? What was that like? (Allow responses.) One person in the crowd was a woman who had been sick for 12 years. (Show Sick Woman Image.) The Bible says she had gone to many doctors, spent all her money, and only gotten worse! The woman was desperate for healing. (Point to group three, prompting them to shout, Jesus, help! Then invite kids to follow along in Mark 5 starting with verse 28.) The woman thought (get on knees and reach out hand as if touching someone), If I just touch [Jesus ] clothes, I will be healed (v. 28). When the woman touched the hem of Jesus robe, she was showing radical faith, believing that Jesus was the Messiah and could heal her. And He did! Immediately she knew she d been healed. In verse 30, the Bible says, At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, Who touched my clothes? The woman was trembling with fear (v. 33). She, a woman who had been unclean, had touched this religious teacher! She came forward and explained what had happened. Jesus replied, Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering (v. 34). Jesus responded to her cry by healing her. While Jesus was talking to the woman, some men came from Jairus s house and told him his daughter was dead. (Point to group two and prompt them to shout, Jesus, help! ) Jairus must have been very upset, but Jesus told him, Don t be afraid; just believe (v. 36). 10

11 The Big God Story NOTES: When Jesus got to Jairus s house, people were already crying. But Jesus said to them (invite kids to follow along starting with Mark 5:39), Why all this wailing? The child is not dead but asleep (v. 39). The people thought Jesus was crazy. They didn t know Jesus was God and could do anything. Jesus took the girl by the hand and said, Little girl get up! (v. 41). Immediately the girl stood up and walked around (v. 42). Wow! Everyone in the house was completely amazed. All three of these people the leper, Jairus, and the sick woman went out of their comfort zones and cried out to Jesus for help. (Point to all three groups, prompting the kids to shout, Jesus, help! ) And Jesus responded with healing. When we call out to God for help, He responds to us too. Sometimes He heals us; sometimes He sends people to help carry our burdens; sometimes He uses His Holy Spirit to bring comfort and strength while we wait for healing but He always responds. When you call out to God, He will respond to you because He loves you. (Share a personal story of a time God responded to your cries for help.) 11

12 LARGE GROUP SECTION Respond// min. Host/Worship Leader This time allows kids to worship through silence, prayer, singing, giving, sharing, thanksgiving, and other ways. Make plans for your worship time, but prepare yourself and your team to hold them loosely if the Holy Spirit leads the group in a different direction. Response Station Ladder SUPPLIES square or round dowel (1 2 diameter; 3 5 pieces, each piece 1 2 long, depending on the number of rungs on your ladder and how wide you want it to be) 2 x 4 board (2 pieces, each piece 3 4 long, depending on the height of your ladder) nails (6 10, depending on the number of rungs on your ladder) hammer ENGAGE Place the two pieces of two-byfour wood side by side, parallel, on a table or the floor. These will be the sides of your ladder. Then place the dowel pieces horizontally between the sides of the ladder to create the ladder s rungs. Nail the sides and rungs together. SUPPLIES wooden ladder (at least 3 ; either purchased or built see callout box) gauze (1 roll; thick enough to write on with a marker) scissors (1 pair) dark-colored markers butcher paper (5 ) or small table bins or tubs (approx. 5 deep; 4 5) water (approx. 5 7 gal.) towels (4 5 bath-size or 6 8 hand-size) worship music (suggestion: Sincerely Yours, TruWorship Sincerely Yours; Premium, Unlimited, and Combo users see Resource Files; others see itunes or PREPARE AHEAD Use the building materials to create a small wooden ladder at least three feet tall, with the dowel pieces as the rungs and the two-by-four pieces as the sides. (Optional: To save money, build the ladder with sections of fence pickets or scrap lumber.) Cut the gauze into 12-inch pieces (at least one piece per child). SET UP Create the Healing Station by leaning the ladder against the wall on one side of the room. Put either the butcher paper underneath it or the small table next to it. Place the gauze pieces and markers on the butcher paper or table. Create the Cleansing Station by pouring the water into the tubs on the other side of the room. Place the tubs and towels on the floor. Cue the music. ENGAGE The leper, Jairus, and the sick woman all went out of their comfort zones to approach Jesus with radical faith. Jesus responded to their cries for help by healing them. Even though we live thousands of years after these people, God still responds to our cries for help, and we can ask Him to heal us and make us clean. Some of you may be feeling desperate for God to heal your relationships and wash away the harsh words that were said to you. You might feel scared at school or at home because of bullies or hard situations. You might also feel like you need comfort. Today, if you want God to hear you or to cleanse your heart of any unforgiveness toward those who have wronged you, cry out to the God who responds to our cries for help. Give children several moments to pray silently. Then point out the response stations. At the Healing Station, invite children to pray for themselves or others in their lives who may 12

13 NOTES: need to be healed. Encourage them to pick up a strip of gauze and a marker and write names or draw pictures of people they would like to ask God to heal. Then, as they pray for those people, the kids can take their strips of gauze and tie them or wrap them, like bandages, around the rungs and sides of the ladder. At the Cleansing Station, invite children to place their hands in the water and ask God to wash away the pain others may have caused them with harsh words or actions. Once the kids finish praying, they can dry their hands on a towel. Start the music, and invite the kids to move freely around the room and visit the stations. Position leaders around the room to help and to pray for kids throughout this response time. 13

14 SMALL GROUP SECTION Respond// min. Small Group Leaders A time to engage in relationship, reflect on the lesson with spiritual conversation, and/or create a meaningful project or piece of art. NOTES: Reflect: God Responds When I Call for Help Encourage the kids to open their Bibles and read the suggested passages. Questions for Younger Kids What is a leper? (Matthew 8:2) Why was it so amazing that Jesus touched the leper? (Leviticus 13:9, 11) Why did the woman touch Jesus clothes? (Mark 5:28) Have you ever cried out to God for help before? How did you see Him respond? Is there anything for which you need God s help today? Questions for Older Kids Who were the three people whom Jesus healed? (Matthew 8:2; Mark 5:22 23, 25) Why was it so amazing that Jesus touched the leper? (Leviticus 13:9, 11) Why do you think God wants us to have faith in Him? (Ephesians 2:8; Hebrews 11:1, 6; 1 John 5:4) Have you ever cried out to God for help before? How did you see Him respond? Is there anything for which you need God s help today? Engage: Hear and Draw Telephone SUPPLIES index cards (1 per child) pencils or pens ENGAGE Every time we cry out to God, He responds. Even though others may not hear us, God always hears us and responds to our cries for help. Because God loves us, is good, and knows everything, He responds with what is best for us. Resource Tip Picnic Games activities are available for this lesson. Premium, Unlimited, and Combo users may find this resource along with the Resource Files. Have the children sit in a circle. Give an index card and pencil or pen to every other child. Explain that you re going to play a version of the Telephone game. Choose a child without an index card and writing utensil to start. This child will think of a sentence and whisper it into the ear of the person to his right. This person will draw a picture of what she heard the person say. She can t use any words, letters, or symbols. Then she ll pass the index card to the person on her right. That person will look at the picture, decide what sentence the picture may be describing, and whisper that sentence to the next person, who will draw it, and so on. This speak-draw-speak pattern will repeat until the message gets to the last person. That person will say, aloud, what she thinks the sentence is. Compare the ending sentence with the beginning sentence. Play again. This time give the kids who drew an opportunity to speak and the kids who spoke,the chance to draw. 14

15 SMALL GROUP SECTION Bless// 5 min. Small Group Leaders A blessing can be a prayer of commission, a portion of Scripture, or words of encouragement or guidance. As you bless your kids, tell them they have the opportunity to also be a blessing to others. Encourage them to freely share the joy and love they have received from God. Encourage the kids to hold their hands in front of them, palms up. Then open a Bible and read Psalm 103:1 5: Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things. Blessings can be offered in order to ask God s Spirit to overflow from the child s life to bless others or prayed over a child for the purpose of declaring God s protection, joy, or wisdom. Now encourage the kids to respond by saying, Yes, praise the Lord after every sentence of blessing. Leader: May God come quickly to you when you call Him. Children: Yes, praise the Lord. Leader: May He Comfort you, heal you, and give you peace as you know the presence of His Holy Spirit. Children: Yes, Praise the Lord.
