Theme: Extra-Ordinary. Inventors take ordinary objects and transform them into extraordinary innovations with some creativity and a lot of tinkering. But Jesus didn’t need tools, blueprints, or a workshop to make extraordinary things happen. On the outside, Jesus may have seemed ordinary, but his life, actions, and love regularly defied expectations. He transformed ordinary people and situations, showing us what an extraordinary God can do.
Scriptures: Luke 2:41–52; John 1:10–14
Big Idea: Jesus is one of a kind.
Memory Verse: “Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name.” — Philippians 2:9 (NIV)
Discipleship Emphasis: Use Your Gifts. God has created each person with unique abilities and passions. Using our gifts to serve others helps us grow in faith and reflect the extraordinary love of Jesus in ordinary, everyday ways.
