But guess what! There are other pictures hidden inside this big picture. Let’s play a little ‘I Spy’ and find them! Place your finger on the picture box right here. (Demonstrate with an Activity Page.) What pictures do you see in the picture box? (Pause.) Yes! There’s Jesus, three hearts, and a Bible. I want you to find these pictures and circle them. Got it? You found all of the pictures. Good job! (Give two thumbs up.) We can believe that Jesus is God’s Son. We can believe that Jesus loves everyone, no matter what. And, we can believe that Jesus is alive! A lot of people saw Jesus after He came back, and they wrote down what they saw. We can read what some of them wrote in the Bible, and we can believe in Jesus, too. Who can believe in Jesus? [Bottom Line] I can believe in Jesus!”
- Drive Time
- As you drive, take turns with your child naming things you believe. You may say, "I believe some trees are green." Or you may say, "I believe birds can fly." Your child will probably come up with all kinds of interesting ideas! End your drive by saying, "I believe Jesus wants to be our friend forever."

When you spy the picture of baby Jesus, color it. Now, I spy a picture of a stable in the town of Bethlehem. That’s where Jesus was born. Color the stable when you spy it. Oh, look! I spy a picture of some fish and bread. Jesus fed a huge crowd with just one small lunch. Can you color the bread? Do you spy the picture of Jesus healing the sick man? Color the picture when you spy it! And finally, the last picture I spy is Jesus telling the storm to STOP! Did the storm stop when Jesus told it to? (Pause.) Yes! Color your picture. We spied Jesus, God’s Son! These pictures show us some of the amazing things Jesus did so that we can all believe in Him. Tell me, who can believe in Jesus? [Bottom Line] I can believe in Jesus. It’s true, friends! Spying all of these amazing things about Jesus helps me to remember that [Bottom Line] I can believe in Jesus.”
