Great is our Lord, and mighty in power
(Psalm 147:5a)
Lesson 4
God is All-powerful (Omnipotent)
Elementary
Verse: “It is He who made the earth by His power” (Jeremiah 51:15a).
Focus: God is so powerful that He created the universe.
Practical Application: Talk to the children about how a plant sprouts. For us it takes a lot of work to help fruits and vegetables to grow. But God only had to say a word (Genesis 1:11). Bring pictures (waves, waterfall, wind, etc.) of things in God’s creation that show God’s power.
Intermediate
Verse: “And the sun was still, And the moon stayed, Until the nation avenged themselves of their enemies” (Joshua 10:13a). OR “Great is our Lord, and mighty in power” (Psalm 147:5a).
Focus: God is so powerful that He can make the sun stand still and heal people with a word.
Practical Application: Give examples of how God is all-powerful. Ask them, “Can you stop time?” God can and He did (Joshua 10). “Can you heal people just by a touch or by a word?” Jesus did (Matthew 8).
