Easter Lessons

Calvary Children’s Ministry will teach about Jesus’ triumphal entry on Palm Sunday and His death and resurrection on Easter Sunday.

We will remind the children how God created a good world without sin. But when Adam and Eve disobeyed God, sin entered the world. God promised to one day send a Savior who would defeat sin and death once and for all. From Abraham to Moses and through all the kings and prophets, God reminded His people that He would save them from their sins.

At the right time, just as God had planned, Jesus was born. He lived a perfect life, always obeying God the Father. Jesus performed miracles, showing everyone that He is God’s Son. He taught the Scripture and preached the Gospel, leading people to eternal life in Him. 

Palm Sunday commemorates Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, where He was greeted by crowds waving palm branches and shouting “Hosanna.” Jesus entered the city, knowing He would be tried and crucified. He told His disciples that He would rise from the grave and save us from sin! 

On Easter Sunday, we will remind children that at the right time, God faithfully provided His Son, Jesus, to be our Savior. Jesus was born in Bethlehem. He grew up and called people to repent, for the kingdom of God had come. Then Jesus died and rose again! Everyone who places their faith in Him will receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life. 

Christ Connection

This is the big idea of how this week’s Bible story points to Jesus.

• Babies & Toddlers: Jesus died on the cross for our sins, rose from the dead, and is alive! If we believe in Jesus, He saves us from sin, and we will live with Him forever.

• Preschool: Jesus came to earth to rescue sinners. Jesus died on the cross and rose again so that everyone who trusts in Him has forgiveness and life with God forever.

• Kids: God’s plan was always to send Jesus to die for the sins of the world. Jesus died on the cross, was buried, and rose on the third day. All who place their faith in Him will receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

Big Picture Question & Answer

This is an important biblical truth that your child will encounter on Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday.
