The Parable of the 10 Virgins

Matthew 25

A split image featuring a biblical parable illustration of Jesus telling a story about ten girls with lamps on the left, and on the right, instructions for a craft project to create clay or salt dough lamps, including materials and steps.

We have the hope and promise that Jesus is coming again! Jesus wants us to be ready when He comes. It seems like it is taking Jesus a loooooong time, but the time of His coming is getting closer! We need Him, his Holy Spirit, in our hearts and lives. Our prayer is that we will be forever faithful to Him. In this presentation the kids get to make little clay lamps. We put battery operated tea lights in ours. Just like it’s important to have an extra battery in case we have to have our lights on for a long time, it is important to keep Jesus in our hearts each and every day. He will give us the energy to live faithfully forever!

Three Parables: Lost and Found

Luke 15

The Prodigal Son, The Lost Sheep, and the Lost Coin

A visual representation of Luke 15 from the Bible, depicting a scene between a father and son, with the son expressing regret and asking to be treated as a servant.

This presentation combines the three Lost and Found stories in Luke 15. The lost sheep, lost coin, and the prodigal son teach us how much God loves us! Jesus came to seek and to save the lost. All heaven rejoices when even one sinner turns their heart towards God. He is so ready to forgive! During this presentation, the kids get to play hide and seek with objects, act out the story, and finish with a party, rejoicing that they too are found, saved, and very precious to God!

Parable: The Good Samaritan

Luke 10:25-37

Illustration of a Samaritan helping a wounded man, with a speech bubble saying, 'Oh no! This poor man! I will help him!'

What are the two greatest commandments? Love God and Love your neighbor as yourself. Who is your neighbor? Jesus responded with the story of the Good Samaritan. In this presentation, we read the account from the book of Luke. We reenact the story and learn some basics of first aid. The craft reminds us to love one another.

Parable of the Sower

Matthew 13

A visual depiction of a man scattering seeds in a rocky terrain with dry soil, illustrating the parable of seeds on rocky places.

his parable is full of truth for all of us. Jesus is a generous sower sowing seeds of truth and love everywhere. But not all the seeds fall on good soil. How is the soil of your heart? Are you ready to listen and take in the message? During this presentation we will learn about seeds, act out the parable, color, sing, and plant seeds in soft soil.

Our youth group enjoyed putting on a fun skit based on this story. It was written by Julianne Bruce for GROUP Funtastic Skits. Since then, I haven’t found it online. But maybe you can.

Parable: The Good Shepherd

John 10 and Matthew 18:12-14

An illustrated storytelling scene featuring characters like a robber, gatekeeper, and shepherd set against a pastoral background with sheep.

Jesus wants us to know how much He cares for us. He told the story of the Good Shepherd. Like the good shepherd, Jesus (God) protects us from evil, provides us with food and water, finds us when we are lost and brings us to a safe place. Jesus knows us by name and we know His voice and follow Him. Jesus was even willing to die to save our lives. He gives us eternal life! He is the way, the truth, and the life. In this presentation, the kids build the setting of a sheep pen, grass and stream. Then with Lego people or other action figures, they illustrate or act out the story while it is read. There also is a craft, songs, and a game similar to Duck, Duck, Goose.
