Use this Easter children’s message, God Is All-Powerful, to help kids get to know Jesus at Easter.

On Easter we celebrate Jesus’ defeat of death. He’s alive and will live forever. On Easter, Jesus showed that God is all-powerful. And Jesus wants us to be his friends. Share the good news that God is all-powerful with kids through this engaging Easter message.

Easter Children’s Message: God Is All-Powerful

You’ll Need:

• Bible (try this kid-friendly version!)
• ruler or measuring tape
• music player
• worship song (check out Group’s catchy tunes!)

Measure Up

Have kids form trios. Say: Let’s look at a verse from the Bible that tells us about God’s power.

Read aloud Ephesians 3:20. Ask:

• What do you think it means when it says God’s power is at work within us?

Give each trio a ruler or measuring tape.

Say: There are some things I want you to measure. I’ll name them, and give you time to measure each item.

• Measure the foot of someone in your group.
• Now measure the arm of someone in your group. 
• Next, find a chair, and measure how high it is.
• Now measure the length of one of the walls in our meeting area. 
• Next, measure the height of one of the walls in our meeting area.

Give kids about five minutes to collect all their measurements. Then gather the kids back together.

Say: Some of you couldn’t measure the wall because you weren’t tall enough. But what if I asked you to measure the height of our church building? Or what if I asked you to measure the distance from here to the star in the universe that’s the farthest away?

Welcome students’ surprised reactions.

Say: That’s right, you can’t do it because the distance to that star is immeasurable. We can’t measure it.

That’s what the Bible verse says about what God’s power can do for us. It’s so big and wonderful we can’t measure it. But we know it’s there because God told us he’s powerful, and God’s power is shown in raising Jesus from the dead. That power can help you every day in school, with your friends, at home, with any hard things in your life.

Collect the rulers and measuring tape.

Talk About It

Have kids gather together in a large group.

Say: I want you to think of one thing in your life in which you need God’s power this week. We’re going to be really quiet for a few seconds, and during that time, I want you to ask God to use his power to help you this week.

Have a short time of silent prayer.

Close the prayer time by thanking God out loud for raising Jesus from the dead and for giving us that power in our lives.

End the session by singing a worship song like “Jesus Is Alive.”
