Main Focus: God Knows Everything

(John 4:1-42)

Anticipate: Game-Focus

In the Big God Story, we hear about Jesus and His disciples’ journey from Judea to Galilee. This journey could have been taken the long way around through safer areas, or the short way, which meant traveling through a dangerous town, Samaria. The Israelites and Samaritans were in a big fight, so traveling through Samaria would be the more dangerous path,
but that was what Jesus and His disciples decided to do. Upon reaching Samaria, they stopped at a well for a drink of water. This was where Jesus met a Samaritan woman, who to her surprise, Jesus knew much about! Jesus knew everything about her and her sins and wanted to redeem every part. Like the Samaritan woman, we might be surprised when God proves he knows everything about us, the world, things going on around us. This simple activity shows how we may think we know something, especially after studying it, taking notes, drawing pictures, etc., but we might not know as much as we thought. Let’s let this serve as a reminder
that God, the Creator of our universe, is the only one who know everything.

Memory Verse:

"Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.  See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." --Psalm 139:23-24

God knows all things 

We learned about Jesus' conversation with the woman at the well.  Jesus knew that the woman was a Samaritan and that she was living in sin. He knew everything about her, both the good and the bad, and still wanted a relationship with her.  Jesus knows everything about us and wants a relationship with us, too!

Bless:

May you rest in the peace of being known by your Heavenly Father.  May you tell others the good news of Jesus.
