Episode Synopsis

Send us a textAfter an exhausting day of preaching to the multitudes, Jesus got in a boat and told the disciples to sail to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. Jesus went to sleep. A squall arose, and high winds and raging waters put the boat in peril. Jesus slept through it all! When the frightened disciples woke Jesus, he simply “rebuked the wind and raging waters” and everything became calm.Jesus is so powerful that he can control nature.Bible verses used in this episode:Luke 8:22-25Colossians 1:15-16Psalm 89:8-9Psalm 107:23-32Job 38:8-11Outline:Nap on the boat (Luke 8:22-23)Dangerous storm (Luke 8:23)Jesus calms the storm (Luke 8:24)The disciples react (Luke 8:25)Additional Links:The Galilee Boat from Drive Through History with Dave StottsThe Land of the Bible: Ancient Galilee BoatPhotos of the Galilee / Jesus boat and reconstruction of the boatTips for teaching:Bring a box to class so small children can pretend it is a boat.  Re-enact the storm, and then one child calls out "Peace be still!" to make the storm stop.Child's craft: Fill a clear water bottle with water and then add sand, sea shells and various beads and glitter.
