1. WELCOME GAME: (10 minutes) - WATER WALKING:

Let children take off their shoes and socks and take turns placing their feet in a shallow pan of water and then the first child will walk on the floor or on the sidewalk and make watery foot prints. Then the next child will put their feet in the water and try to walk on the exact same footprints as the first child. Each child will follow after and see if they can walk on the same prints. If they happen to make a new print, then the children following can choose which foot prints they want to follow. Tell children that today we'll be talking about walking on the water!

2. TEAM GAMES: (10 minutes) - WATER RELAY:

Divide the children into two equel teams. The teams will take turns running to the far side of the room with an empty cup collecting a cup of water and running to the far side of the room to empty it into the empty bucket, handing the cup to the next runner who repeats the exercise until the bucket is full of water. and putting on a swim ring and run back to their team continue to play until all the players have run.

c. Teach the Lesson:

Jesus walks on the water, Peter Sinks on the Water

On the sea of life, there are floaters and sinkers -- which are you?

As you can see, I have a bucket of water and several other things with me this morning. Some of the items that I have with me will float in water and some of them will sink. I am going to show you an item and ask you to vote as to whether you think it will float or sink. Then we will put it in the water to see if you were right or not. Are you ready?

Here is a wooden building block. How many of you think it will float in the water? How many think it will sink? Let's try it and see. Great! Most of you were right. The block is floating in the water.

Here is the second item. A metal spoon. How many of you think it will float? How many think it will sink? Well, let's try it and see. You were right again! It sank!

Here is the another item. A piece of heavy duty foil. How many of you think it will float? How many think it will sink? Okay, let's see. You were right again! It floats!

Here is another piece of foil. It is exactly the same as the other one. (Wad it up into a ball.) Now how many of you think it will still float? How many think it will sink? Right again! It still floats.

Are you a floater or a sinker? Don't worry, I'm not going to throw you into a tub of water to find out, but I think we can find the answer in the Bible.

Read Matthew 14:28-31

After he had finished feeding the five thousand, Jesus told his disciples to get into their boat and go to the other side of the lake while he went up into the mountains to be alone and to pray.

While the disciples were going to the other side of the lake in their boat, the wind came up and the water began to get rough. The disciples became afraid that their boat would sink and they would be drowned. Then they looked, and they saw Jesus coming toward them and he was walking on the water. When Peter saw Jesus, he became excited and he said to him, "Lord, if that's really you, let me walk to you on the water". Jesus answered Peter and said, "Come."

Well Peter climbed over the side of the boat and started walking on the water to Jesus. Then he began to look around, he felt the strong winds and saw the waves and he became afraid and started to sink. He cried out to Jesus, "Help, save me!" Jesus reached out his hand and saved Peter and he said to him, "Oh, you of little faith, why did you doubt?"

6. APPLICATION / ENCOUNTERING GOD:

As long as Peter kept his eyes on Jesus, he was walking on the water, but when he took his eyes off of Jesus, he began to sink. As we go through life, there will be some storms. We will encounter some pretty rough water. As long as we keep our eyes upon Jesus and put our trust in him, we will be okay. But when we take our eyes off of Jesus and put our confidence in our own ability, we will surely sink!

Encourage the children to come to the alter. You can establish your own alter by placing a chair in the corner, cover it with a gold cloth, have the Jesus crown on the chair and surround it with the red cloth, creating the illusion of the blood of Jesus.

CLOSING PRAYER:

Dear Jesus, when the storms of life come against us, help us to keep our eyes on you and to put our trust in you. We now know that when we take our eyes off of Jesus and put our confidence in our own ability, we will surely sink! Keep us focused on You Lord Jesus, you who stilled the storm and walked on water. You are the miricle worker, You are our Living water. We put our trust in You. Amen.

NEXT WEEK: In Session #7 of the WATER Series we will be taught about the first miracle that Jesus performed, turning water into wine.

The Bible tells us that after they saw Jesus perform this miracle, the disciples believed in him. That was always the reason that Jesus performed a miracle. He didn't do it so that he would become popular or well-liked or show off! He did it so that all would believe that he was God's Son who had come to save them. Remember SIN separated us from God, we had a big problem and God solved that problem by sending His Son Jesus, to live a perfect and POWERFUL life.
