    My body, my blood John 6 51 I am that bread from heaven! Everyone who eats it will live forever. My flesh is the life-giving bread I give to the people of this world. 52 They started arguing with each other and asked, “How can he give us his flesh to eat?” 53 Jesus answered: I tell you for…

  • Kids Korner: “I live in you” (August 18th)

    Read John 6:51-58 with your family. Jesus talking about ‘drinking blood’ and ‘eating the body’ was beyond gross to those who would have heard these words in the first century, just as they are often heard as gross outside of church today. What did he mean? He didn’t mean his actual blood and body, did…

    Bread of Life John 6 35 Jesus replied: I am the bread that gives life! No one who comes to me will ever be hungry. No one who has faith in me will ever be thirsty. 36 I have told you already that you have seen me and still do not have faith in me. 37 Everything and everyone that the…

  • Kids Korner: Understanding the gifts of God (August 11th)

    Read John 6:36-50 with your family. Jesus tried to explain to the people around him what the gifts of God looked like. He used bread as a metaphor, a word picture of how God gives us what we need when we need it. The people listening didn’t understand and started talking poorly about Jesus. What…

    Bread of Life John 6 24 They saw that Jesus and his disciples had left. Then they got into the boats and went to Capernaum to look for Jesus. 25 They found him on the west side of the lake and asked, “Rabbi, when did you get here?” 26 Jesus answered, “I tell you for certain that you are not…

  • Kids Korner: God gives us what we need (August 4th)

    Read John 6:24-35 with your family. The Gospel of John can be a really hard book to read, and that’s why most children’s stories don’t include very much from this Gospel. When Jesus was teaching people about God’s love, he used examples of things around them every day. This lesson talks about bread, something that…

    People flock to Jesus Mark 6 Jesus crossed Lake Galilee, which was also known as Lake Tiberias. 2 A large crowd had seen him work miracles to heal the sick, and those people went with him. 3-4 It was almost time for the Jewish festival of Passover, and Jesus went up on a mountain with his disciples and sat down.…

  • Kids Korner: Jesus feeds the people (July 28th)

    Read John 6:1-21 with your family. This week we bounce over to the Gospel of John. The biggest difference between the Gospels of Mark and John is that in Mark, no one is supposed to know who Jesus really is until the end, while in the Gospel of John, everyone knows who Jesus is from…

    People flock to Jesus Mark 6 30 After the apostles returned to Jesus, they told him everything they had done and taught. 31 But so many people were coming and going that Jesus and the apostles did not even have a chance to eat. Then Jesus said, “Let’s go to a place where we can be alone and get some…

  • Kids Korner: Jesus is popular (July 21st)

    Read Mark 6:30-34, 53-56 with your family. Usually when people in the church talk about Jesus it is with a serious voice. We talk about belief and heaven and how to behave. But the people who knew Jesus, who met Jesus were not concerned about those things, and they didn’t always talk with a serious…
