Dear Parents,

Say: In this series of Fear Not we are learning that God does what He says He will do, so we need to be faithful. So, what does being faithful mean? It simply means to put our trust in Jesus and know that He will take care of us. God always keep His promises! In everything the Lord wants us to trust in Him and have no fear! The Bible tells us in 2 Timothy 1:7 "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." Isn't that so cool that God gives us love and peace as a gift! That's why there's no reason to fear because the Lord gives us his peace and is watching over us! In our lesson this week we're looking in the bible where Jesus healed an official's servant. This Roman officer highly valued his servant so much that He saw him as a son. Jesus was asked to come heal the official’s son but when He got to the house the official came out and asked Jesus not to come in his home because He wasn’t worthy of such an honor. The Roman official had so much faith that He told Jesus just to say the word and He knew his son would be healed! Jesus was amazed at seeing this man's faith and told the man His son would be healed. When the roman officer got back home, He found His son to be completely healed. He knew that His son was healed because of Jesus! This story shows us that we need to trust In God because He does what He says He will do and He is faithful to those who are faithful! The bible shows us that the Lord protects us! So, remember to have faith because there's no reason to fear!

Ask: What gifts has God given us to cast out fear? Peace, Love, and a Sound Mind.

What has no power over us because of Jesus? Fear

Who did Jesus heal? The Official's Son

What did the official have In Jesus? Faith

Can you tell me a time you were afraid of something or had faith for something and had to look to Jesus?
