The Greatest Dad - Father's Day Bible Lesson for ages 5-11 (download only)

 “The Greatest Dad” is a stand-alone Father’s Day lesson. In this lesson, children will see the failure of several Biblical dads, while focusing in on the goodness of God the Father. The main text for the week is the genealogy of Jesus from Luke 3, focusing on the final line, “the son of God,” showing how Jesus is the Son of God, not the son of Joseph. While walking through this genealogy, kids will be reminded of several fathers in the genealogy and what we know about them as fathers from the Bible.

In small groups, kids will get a chance to review what it means that Jesus is the Son of God and how all who follow Jesus can turn to God as their Father. They’ll also have a chance to thank God for their earthly fathers (who hopefully point them to God the Father) and make something they can give to their dads for Father’s Day.  

This lesson is designed to be used on Father’s Day Sunday, or during the week before Father’s Day and is perfect for slotting in between other curriculum materials.
