Session 4: God Knows My Real Fears
Bible Story: Peter Walked on Water (Matthew 14:22-33)

CCW Kids Families,

This week, kids learned that God knows their real fears through the story of Peter walking on water from Matthew 14:22-33. In this Bible story, Peter and the other disciples were caught in a storm while on a sea. Suddenly, Jesus came to them—walking on water! Peter stepped out of the boat and began walking toward Jesus. But when Peter saw the storm raging around him, he grew afraid and began to sink. Jesus reached out, rescued Peter, got into the boat, and calmed the storm. Through this story, we can know that God knows our real fears, and He offers us love and care. God reminds us that He’s always with us, and when we follow Jesus, we can have a relationship with Him.

Using a toothpick dipped in lemon juice, write God knows my real fears on a blank piece of paper. Once it dries, show the paper to your kids (which now looks blank). Then, safely rub over the paper with a heated iron. Slowly, as the paper warms, the message will reveal itself. Talk about how, even though you can’t see God, you can know that He’s always with you. He knows your real fears, and you can remember that He cares for you.
