Preschool Sunday School Lessons: 3 Ideas for Children’s Messages

3. Preschool Sunday School Lessons: Can a Bandage Fix That?

Theme: Jesus heals our wounds

Scripture: Psalm 147:3

Supplies: First-aid Kit filled with bandages, ointment, wipes, gloves, etc.

Ask: Who can tell me what this is? A first-aid kit

What do we do with this kit? We keep items that can help us when we get hurt.

Begin pulling out items and asking kids what each one is for. 

Say: When we get hurt, we need items like this to help heal our wounds.

What happens when our feelings get hurt? Can we use the items in a first-aid kit to heal our feelings?

No, we can’t use these items to heal our hurt feelings. But someone more powerful than any of these items can heal our hurting hearts. That someone is God.

God knows everything about us. He knows when we’re sad and when our feelings are hurt. And the coolest thing? God has the power to heal us!

Bible Application

Psalm 147:3 says: “He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.”  

Because God loves us so very much, He heals all the things that make us sad. We just need to pray and ask God to heal our hurts. And not just our boo-boos, but our hearts and the things that make us sad. Maybe someone said something mean to you or your brother or sister wouldn’t share with you. Anything that makes you sad, God can heal.

God has the power to heal. He loves us so much and doesn’t like it when we’re hurting. God promises to heal our broken and sad hearts. We just need to believe in His healing power and ask for His help. God loves you and wants to heal your wounds and your sadness.

Prayer: Dear God, thank you for loving us. Thank you for healing us when we’re sad. Help us always believe in your healing power. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
