Elementary
Wake Up, Little Girl!
Mark 5:21-43
BIG IDEA: I can ask God for what I need and be confident in His love and help.
GET TALKING:
- What did Jairus want Jesus to do? (Heal his sick girl.)
- How did Jesus know He had healed the sick woman? (Felt power leave His body.)
- What did Jesus say to Jairus when his friends told him his daughter was dead? (Don’t be afraid. Believe.)
CONNECTING TO JESUS: A desperate father and a long-suffering woman both came to Jesus because of their belief in Him. Even though there was a crowd of people, Jesus did not ignore these believing people. How Jesus healed the woman and brought Jabirus’s daughter back to life gives us a reminder of how Jesus helps and saves us. We can call on Him, not only for salvation, but also for help every day.
ACTION PLAN: Talk about different ways God responds when we pray.
