Let's Go Deeper! (for older kids)
Read this story in the Bible: Exodus 14-15

Explore these ideas:
  • Imagine what it was like to walk across the sea, between two huge walls of water. 
  • Who made the wind blow in order to make a dry path through the sea so that the people could cross between the walls of water?
  • What do you think about a God who can do that?
  • What did you learn about Jesus from this story? 

"I will sing to the Lord...
The Lord gives me strength and protects me.
    He has saved me.
He is my God, I will praise him."

The people rejoiced! They sang and danced and praised God! (Exodus 15:1-2)

Praying this story...
Thank you, God, that you are the Great Rescuer. Thank you for parting the sea so your people could walk through on dry land.  Help me to always trust you, and to remember your great power and infinite love!  In Jesus' Name. AMEN
