THE LIFE OF JESUS: Jesus Chooses the 12 Disciples

Kids learn how Jesus chose twelve ordinary people to be His disciples and invited them to follow Him. Through the calling of fishermen and a tax collector, we see that Jesus didn’t choose perfect people—He chose sinners He loved and came to save.


🌟 What Kids Will Learn:



  • What a disciple is and what it means to follow Jesus



  • Why Jesus chose ordinary people—not famous or important ones



  • How Jesus called fishermen and a tax collector to follow Him



  • That Jesus doesn’t wait for people to be perfect before loving them



  • Why Jesus came to save sinners and invites us to follow Him too



📖 Bible Passage:


  • Matthew 4:18–22

🧠 Big Truth:



  • Jesus came to save sinners. He lovingly calls ordinary people to follow Him and uses them to share the good news about who He is.
