Jesus Heals a Deaf and Mute Man
Mark 7:31-37
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
We learned:
*Jesus healed a man who could not hear or speak.
*Everything Jesus does is good.
*We can trust Jesus to work good in our lives.
*Ephphatha=be opened

We sang with Mrs. Janna! 

What to review:
1. Where did Jesus go after He healed the woman’s daughter?
     Decapolis (which stands for the Ten Towns)
2. Who did the people bring to Jesus?
     A man who was deaf and mute.
3. Where did Jesus take the man?
     Away from the crowd.
4. How did Jesus heal the man?
     He placed His fingers in the man’s ears; He spit and touched the man’s tongue.Key verse:
“They were completely amazed and said, ‘Everything He does is good! He even heals people who cannot hear or talk.‘”  -Mark 7:37

 

A Note from Sarah:
It’s so easy for me to just read over something like this because Jesus healed so many people. But I have to stop and remind myself how miraculous this is and that it is something only our omnipotent Savior could do. I hope to convey the amazingness of this miracle to your children. And may God open our spiritual ears to hear His voice. “O for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer’s praise, the glories of my God and King, the triumphs of His grace…Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb, your loosened tongues employ; ye blind, behold your Savior come, and leap, ye lame, for joy.” 

Oodles of Love in Christ, who is music to my sinful ears,
Sarah
Psalm 19:14

Mark 1:14-20
Jesus Chooses Followers

We learned:

• —Jesus chose two sets of brothers to follow him: Simon & Andrew and James & John.
• —They were hard-working fishermen and were not rich or educated, but that did not matter because Jesus cared about what was in their heart.
• —The fact that the men left everything to follow Jesus shows their great faith.
• —When a person accepts Christ, they must leave all of their sinful ways and follow Jesus.

We sang:

♪      Work – Ephesians 6:7
♪      He Leadeth Me

♪      Treasures – Matthew 6:20-21
♪      Trust in the Lord – Proverbs 3:5-6
♪      I Will Make You Fishers of Men

Other things to talk and think about:

• Review the passage.  See how much your child can recall.
  -Where did Jesus go when He began preaching?  Galilee
  -Who were the first two men Jesus called?  Andrew and Simon
  -Who were the next two men Jesus called? James and John
  -What did these men do when Jesus called them?  They left their nets and boats and followed Him.
  -Why did Jesus choose fishermen to follow Him?  He was looking at their hearts and knew they had a lot of faith.

• Talk to your kids about how Jesus called you as I disciple and how you have followed Him.
• Emphasize that Christ chose His disciples (1 John 4:19).
• Key Verse: And Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”  (Mark 1:17)
