Lesson 1

Peter was just an AVERAGE, ordinary guy. He was a fisherman by trade, and knew nothing but fishing. That is, until Jesus called him to become a follower. Peter had to be willing to leave behind everything he had worked his whole life to build. He dropped his nets, left his fishing business, and followed Jesus everywhere He went for the next three years. Today, the children will learn that God wants to use AVERAGE, ordinary people to do BIG things for Him. If they are willing to give up their dreams for God’s dreams and leave their “old life” behind, then God can use them to change the world—just as he did with “Average Pete.”
