Gospel Project Handout for Older Kids  Unit 20, Session 4

This family worship time will be most valuable to your family if you preview the materials ahead of your planned family gathering so that you can assess what is appropriate engagement for the age of your kids. 

In general a child's attention span is 3 to 5 minutes per year of a child's age for best engagement of their listening and comprehension.

Suggested outline of previewing material and Family worship time:

Parent: view How to use video- Plan your Family Worship time

Print/view Activity Pages: starter activity and coloring page/journal page

Watch: Bible Story video 

Discussion: Blog questions/ Family Discussion on right side of the activity page; Also BIG Picture Question (Doctrine) 

Prayer: Outline of suggested areas. 

Unit 20/Session 4: Jesus Called Disciples

Unit Verse: “He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 3:30 CSB

Story Point:
Jesus Chose Disciples to Follow Him   

I would suggest that you first discuss what will be seen on the Bible Lesson video, then view the content together; let the last part be your discussion;

Preschool and age 5:  Discussion
In Bible times, disciples chose their teacher.
Why is it special that Jesus chose His own disciples?

What did Jesus say to the religious leaders who thought
Jesus should not be friends with certain people?

Who needs to hear about Jesus?

Ages 6 and older: Discussion: Activity Page Questions available.

Follow up with a three questions method 

What did our Bible Story tell us about? (Facts)

What did you learn about yourself/humanity/character?(Lesson teaching)

How will you apply/tell others about what you learned? (application/main teaching called to action)

**Close your time in prayer**

Thank God for what you learned today.

Everyone shares one thing they are grateful to God for 

and one thing they would like to ask God for.

Consider who else to pray for, especially those who don’t know Jesus.
