Remember last week we asked you
Have you ever been afraid?
(Give the children a chance to share)
When Jesus told his disciples that he was going to return to his
Father, they were afraid.
- What were they worried about? (Would the enemies recognize
them as his followers and try to harm them)
- What did Jesus ask His Father? (To send the Holy Spirit
to comfort his disciples)
- What did Jesus leave them? (His peace)

Introduction:
Today I want to tell you a story about a woman named Civilla Martin
who wrote a song about overcoming fear, worry, and discouragement.
Teaching:
Mrs. Martin and her husband were visiting a couple named Mr. and
Mrs. Doolittle, she was crippled and had to move about a wheelchair.
Mr. Doolittle had been confined to bed for over twenty years. Despite
the problems they faced in life, they always seemed to be have a
cheerful outlook on life. Mr. Martin asked "How do you manage
to remain so joyful when you face so many problems?" The reply
was simple. "If God has his eye on the sparrow, then I know
he is watching over me."
Mrs. Martin was so touched by the reply that she wrote a poem
“Why should I feel discouraged? Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart feel lonely, and long for heaven and home? When
Jesus is my portion, a constant friend is He. His eye is on the
sparrow and I know He watches over me. His eye is on the sparrow;
and I know He watches me. I sing because I’m happy. I sing
because I’m free! His eye is on the sparrow; and I know He
watches me. His eye is on the sparrow; and I know He watches me.”
The next day Civilla Martin mailed the poem to Charles Gabriel,
a gospel songwriter, who wrote a tune for it. "The rest,"
as they say, "is history."

In Matthew chapter 10, Jesus was teaching his disciples that even
though they were going to be facing some difficult times as his
followers, they should not be afraid.
| Bible Reading: Matthew
10:28-31
Who should we NOT be afraid of? (Those who kill the body
but cannot kill the soul.)
Who should we be afraid of? (The One who can destroy
both soul and body in hell.)
Remember not one sparrow will fall to the ground outside
your Father’s care.
Isn't that amazing? (Give the children time to respond) |
|
God knows everything that we go through. Nothing happens to us
that he doesn't know about. When we feel lonely and totally abandoned,
when it seems that our prayers are unanswered, when everything seems
hopeless, God knows/God cares.
