The story of Jesus walking on water is a reminder that we, as humans, cannot achieve such a feat on our own. The story of Peter being saved by Jesus from the waves emphasizes the fact that we can always count on Jesus to lift us out of our fears and worries. To celebrate this story and remind children to look to Christ, we have created two craft ideas. The first one is a “Floatable Boat” with a fun nautical theme, while the second one is a “Rise Above the Waves Sign” that highlights how Jesus helps us during tough times. Let’s get creative and make these crafts!
Here’s a summary of the video titled “Craft Ideas: Walking on Water Matthew 14:22-33”: The video presents creative craft ideas related to the biblical story of Peter and Jesus walking on water. These crafts are designed to remind children to keep their eyes fixed on Jesus and find strength and faith in Him during difficult times. Here’s what the video covers:
