The Cost of Following Jesus

5-11s | Sunday 18th April

We hope you joined us at 9.30am on our zoom call if not email hello(at)godfirst.church and we will send you the link for next week.

This morning we continued our series on how we learn to ‘Think and Live like Jesus’ today we are learning about how people often had to give things up to follow Jesus.

This Bible story is based on text from Matthew 4:18-22, Luke 5:1-11, and Mark 1:16-20. You could read about it there too

Have you made a decision to follow Jesus? If you’re not sure then why not have a chat with your parents or one of the GodFirst Kids Team.

Here is a great song about following Jesus. Serving Him, Loving those he loves.

Today’s bible story

If you want to read it again it comes from Matthew 4 v17-22 - why not imagine yourself in the story. How would you have felt looking on?

We also looked at the bit in Galatians where it talks about Fruit of the Spirit something that once we have decided to follow Jesus he wants to develop in our lives. Have a look again at them here in Galatians 5 v22-26 can you name all 9 of them!
