The Lord Is My Shepherd (Preschool)

Let's play a fun game! It's called "Who Do You Trust?" I will ask a question. Then you pick a friend to help answer!

Ready? Here's my first question. It's about the Bible. Who knows about Jonah? Jonah got swallowed by a big, big fish! Can you make your arms big like a fish? Good job!

Let's try again! This question is about TV. Who is green and lives in a trash can? Oscar the Grouch! Can you be grouchy like Oscar? Grr!

You are so smart! Playing games is fun. But do you know who we can always trust? Jesus!

The Bible says Jesus is like a good shepherd. Do you know what a shepherd does? A shepherd takes care of sheep. The sheep follow the shepherd everywhere. Baa! Baa! Can you say "Baa" like a sheep?

When sheep are hungry, the shepherd finds yummy grass. When sheep are thirsty, the shepherd finds water to drink. When sheep are scared, the shepherd keeps them safe.

Jesus is our Good Shepherd. We are like his little sheep. Jesus takes care of us every day. He gives us food. He gives us water. He keeps us safe. We can trust Jesus!

When you feel scared, remember Jesus is with you. When you need help, Jesus will help you. Jesus loves you so much!

Let's pray: Dear Jesus, you are our Good Shepherd. We are your little sheep. We trust you. We love you. Amen.
