It All Comes Back to Jesus! This is the catchphrase for Lifeway’s Boomerang Express Vacation Bible School. We are in the middle of Bible School this week. I decided to give our adults a whirlwind presentation of Bible School in 37 minutes last Sunday. The children are learning about Peter, my favorite New Testament preacher. Peter I can identify with, becasue he was 100% human, yet 100% sold out for his Savior, Jesus Christ. Each night the children look at a significant event in Peter’s life, and how it impacted his love for Jesus Christ. The nights are themed as follows: 1. Follow Him Bible Story: Peter’s Invitation John 1:40-42 Peter Decides to Follow JesusBecoming a born again Christian requires a decision. It is not left up to chance, or your works or even hope. You consciously decide by FAITH to see Jesus as your Lord and Savior. When you make that decision it is as significant as saying “I DO” at the wedding altar. Do you remember the song titled “I Met the Master”? by Dottie West Like a babe when it cries For its His mother Like a child I was helpless and alone Then I met the Master And now I, I am one of His own CHORUS For all things were changed When He found me And a new day broke through All around me For I met the Master Now I belong to Him When you meet the Master, and your eyes are opened to His Deity, His Sacrifice His Resurrection, YOU KNOW IT! Life Application: Because Jesus loves and chooses me, I can follow Him. Peter Discovers Jesus is the Son of God2. Worship Him Bible Story: Peter’s Discovery Matthew 14:22-33 In this event Peter discovered what it means to worship Jesus. When Jesus saved his life, it brought a totally new perspective to his view of Jesus. And when the other disciples saw just a glimpse of who Jesus really was, they changed from seeing a ghost to seeing the “Son of God” Life Application: Because Jesus is the Son of God, I can worship Him. Peter Denies knowing Jesus3. Confess Him Bible Story: Peter’s Challenge Luke...

Like a babe when it cries
For its His mother
Like a child I was helpless and alone
Then I met the Master
And now I, I am one of His own
CHORUS
For all things were changed
When He found me
And a new day broke through
All around me
For I met the Master
Now I belong to Him
When you meet the Master, and your eyes are opened to His Deity, His Sacrifice His Resurrection, YOU KNOW IT!
Life Application: Because Jesus loves and chooses me, I can follow Him.
