Jesus - The King of Everything
Sunday, September 20th, 2020
intro
Last week, we talked about how the wind and the waves obeyed Jesus when he told them to be still.
Do you know that ALL OF CREATION is meant to listen to and obey Jesus?
Name some things that God created.
Because God created everything, like the animals, the mountains, the sea, YOU AND ME, he has authority over everything and so does Jesus. But wait, what does the word authority mean? That’s not a word, we use everyday, right?!
What is a king or a queen?
What does a king or a queen do?
A king or a queen rules over the kingdom. They give the people rules and they obey them. The kingdom listens to their ruler. This is what it means to have authority.

Discuss
What is Jesus King of?
Where are his rules or commands that we should follow? *Hint. Is there a book that he gave us where we can read them?
What are some of those rules or commands?
Do you know that even evil things know that Jesus is in authority over them?
In many fairytales or even movies, there is a kingdom. Queen Elsa and Queen Anna live in a kingdom, right? And sometimes there are evil things or bad people in the kingdom.
Name some of your favorite kings, queens, princes or princesses from stories or movies.
Name some bad or evil people from theses stories or movies.
At the end of the stories or movies, who wins? Good or evil?
There is good and evil in those movies or books and that is the same in our world, but Jesus ALWAYS wins over evil.
Jesus has authority over ALL CREATION, even evil things. Nothing can beat Jesus. He is the most powerful of all!
He even had authority over death when he came back to life after his own death! Not even death could have the power over Him! Whoaaa! Isn’t that amazing!?
Because Jesus is our King, it also means that we should listen to him and obey his commands.

If you feel equipped and that your children are ready, go through the story of the man with the unclean spirits in Mark 5:1-20. Jesus has authority over EVERYTHING, even evil spirits!
