Hey Kids and Parents! Our Kids’ Church lesson for June 15, is “Jesus’ First Sign“.  

Lesson Focus:  Jesus performed His first miracle at a wedding in Cana, turning water into wine. Then He traveled to Jerusalem, where He found merchants and money-changers in the temple. He became angry and drove them out with a whip. When the disciples saw Jesus’ first miracle and His righteous anger in the temple, they believed He was the Messiah.

Key Passages: John 2:5–11, 2:13–17

Memory Verse: 

Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.

John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

Key Points:

1. Jesus waited for the Father’s timing to do His first miracle at a wedding in Cana when He turned water into wine.
2. When Jesus’ disciples saw His first miracle, turning water into wine, they believed in Him. 
3. Jesus cleansed the temple in Jerusalem by driving out the animals and merchants and overturning the tables of the money-changers because they were misusing God’s house to make money, instead of worshipping God.

Talk About It:

1. What embarrassing thing happened at the wedding? 
2. What did Jesus tell the servants to do?
3. What were people buying and selling in the temple?
4. What if your friend says that she doesn’t apologize for losing her temper anymore because she read that Jesus got angry when He cleansed the temple? What could you say?
