MEMORY VERSE
Psalm 25:4 (NIrV)
“Lord, show me Your ways. Teach me how to follow You.”
SYNOPSIS
Parables are short stories that Jesus told with a much bigger meaning. In some ways a parable is a lot like a pumpkin seed. It starts out as just a small story, but after you spend time thinking about it you realize it has a really big and important message to tell. These four lessons will use pumpkins to teach children about 4 of Jesus’ parables.

Not Just Teaching Character, but Leading Kids into the Freedom of Christ
“The Fruit of the Spirit” curriculum is more than just a Sunday School lesson plan. It’s a rescue mission that guides children away from the constant pressure of the world and into the freedom that Christ gives. Children are constantly pressured to measure up, chasing after something that never satisfies. This curriculum frees them from the burden of always trying to be good enough, by leading them into lasting peace that only Christ can give.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23 (esv)
Main Idea for Kids: The Holy Spirit Sets Me Free to Be Who God Made Me
I don’t have to do it all on my own. God is helping me every day to be more like Jesus. That’s real freedom!
We’ve included clear, simple definitions of each fruit of the Spirit so kids can understand what God is growing in them. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness—these aren’t just good ideas; they are real ways the Holy Spirit changes our hearts.
Everything is tied back to Jesus’ example—not as a comparison that makes kids feel like they can’t measure up, but as inspiration to see what God can do in their lives. When children see how Jesus lived, they realize the Holy Spirit is at work in them too—helping them grow, love others, and live in the freedom of Christ!
GOSPEL CONNECTION
Jesus welcomes us into God’s family and gives the Spirit to shape our character. He sends us into school to shine for Him—doing what’s right, honoring God with our choices, serving others, and standing firm.

MEMORY VERSE
John 14:6b (NIrV)
“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life.’”
| LESSON | SCRIPTURE | OBJECTIVE |
| 01 — Jesus Was Born Jesus came to earth as a baby born to parents who were so poor that he had to be born in a barn for animals. Because Jesus is God’s son, he deserved to be born in the nicest palace to the richest family. But by choosing to let his son be born in a barn, God showed us that it doesn’t matter who you are or what you’ve done, God loves you and sent Jesus for you. | Luke 2:1-20 The Birth of Jesus | Little ones will learn that “Jesus could have done anything, but he chose to be a little kid just like me because he loves me” |
| 02 — Jesus Studied God’s Word Jesus set an example for us by studying God’s Word. Even though he was the son of God, he still studied God’s word to learn what it says and obeyed what God taught him. | Luke 2:41-52 The Boy Jesus in the Temple | Little ones will learn that “I can study the Bible, just like Jesus did.” |
| 03 — Jesus Was Obedient John the Baptist told other people about the coming Savior. When Jesus came to him to be baptized, John knew that the Savior arrived. Little ones will learn that Jesus set an example for us by being obedient to God when he was baptized. Jesus taught us that we show God we love Him when we obey Him. | Matthew 3:1-17 The Baptism of Jesus | Little ones will learn that “when I obey God, I’m showing that I love God.” |
| 04 — Jesus Never Sinned Every single one of us has sinned at some point when we were tempted. As the Son of God, Jesus is the only person in history who lived a perfect life without sin. With Jesus’ help, we can resist temptation too. | Luke 4:1-13 The Temptation of Jesus. | Little ones will learn that “Jesus never did anything wrong, and he can help us to make right choices.” |
| 05 — Jesus Called His Disciples When Jesus began his ministry, he asked 12 men to be his disciples and to follow in his footsteps and learn from his teaching and his actions. Even today Jesus wants us to be his disciples and commit to following him by obeying what he has taught us in the Bible. | Mark 1:14-20 Calling the First Disciples | Little ones will learn that “I can follow Jesus, by obeying the Bible.” |
| 06 — Jesus Preached Jesus gave many sermons during his ministry, teaching people a different way to live and telling them that we could never do enough good things to go to heaven, but that God loves us and will forgive our sins if we will believe in Jesus as our Savior. In this sermon, Jesus shows how those who believe in Jesus can be a light to the world. | Matthew 5:13-16 The Sermon on the Mount Salt and Light | Little ones will learn that “when I tell people that Jesus loves them, I’m helping make their life brighter, like a light in a dark room.” |
| 07 — Jesus Calmed a Storm When a storm threatened to sink the small boat that Jesus and the disciples were sailing in, Jesus commanded the storm to stop. And it did! We can trust Jesus with any problem, because He is powerful. Little ones will name something that they want to ask and trust God to help them with. | Mark 4:35-41 Jesus Calms the Storm | Little ones will learn that “I can ask God for help when I’m afraid.” |
| 08 — Jesus Healed Because of his great love and compassion, Jesus healed many people that He encountered during his time on earth. One of them was a man who did not have the ability to walk. Little ones will learn that Jesus loves us and cares about each of us. | Luke 5:17-26 Jesus Heals a Paralytic | Little ones will learn that “I can ask God for help when I’m in need or someone I know needs help.” |
| 09 — Jesus Came To Bring Peace When Jesus entered Jerusalem for the last time, he rode on a donkey. The donkey was a symbol of a king who came in peace. Jesus showed us that he came in peace to let the world know how much God loves us. | Matthew 21:1-11 The Triumphal Entry | Little ones will name one way that knowing Jesus loves them gives them peace right now. |
| 10 — Jesus Paid the Price for Sin Jesus was arrested even though he had done nothing wrong. He was sentenced to die a very painful death on the cross. We have all sinned and don’t deserve to be in Heaven with God. Jesus was the only person who never sinned and deserved to go to heaven without dying, but he chose to die in this way to pay the price for our sin so we could go to heaven too. Little ones will thank Jesus for dying for their sin. | Matthew 26:47-56, Luke 23:32-47 Jesus Arrest and Crucifixion | Little ones will learn that “Jesus took the punishment for every time I’ve made a bad choice.” |
| 11 — Jesus Rose from the Dead! Jesus died for our sins, but on the third day He was raised back to life in power! Because Jesus paid the price for our sin and has power over sin and death, we can live forever with him in heaven. | John 20:1-23 The Resurrection | Little ones will learn that “I can trust Jesus to be my friend forever.” |
| 12 — Jesus Will Return Jesus told his followers that he would be coming back to earth, but that their job and our job until then was to tell people how much God loves them, and to make new disciples of Jesus. Jesus wants us to share the good news of Jesus with other people so that when he returns to earth there will be many more people who believe that He is the Savior. | Matthew 28:16-20 The Great Commission | Little ones will name 1 person they are going to tell about Jesus this week. |

Teach Preschoolers The Fruit Of The Spirit.
SUMMARY
The fruit of the spirit is food for our hearts that helps us love like Jesus.
MEMORY VERSE
Galatians 5:22-23a (NIrV)
“But the fruit the Holy Spirit produces is love, joy and peace. It is being patient, kind and good. It is being faithful and gentle and having control of oneself.”
| LOVE | The Bible says that “God is love.” When we live by His Spirit, we will be like Jesus and do things out of love for others instead just doing things for ourselves. Luke 15:1-7 The Parable of the Lost Sheep. |
| JOY | True, lasting joy can only come from knowing we have eternal life by believing in Jesus and accepting him as our Lord and Savior. Luke 24:50-53 The Ascension |
| PEACE | Peace isn’t just about feeling calm; we need to be peacemakers, helping people find peace in the midst of conflict. 1 Samuel 25:1-35 Abigail Creates Peace |
| PATIENCE | Sometimes we want things done on our schedule, but we need to be patient and realize it’s ok for others to go first and realize that sometimes waiting is part of God’s plan. Genesis 21:1-7 The Birth of Isaac |
| KINDNESS | God is filled with loving kindness, and when we are filled up with God, we will show kindness to others whether or not they deserve it. 2 Samuel 9 David and Mephibosheth |
| GOODNESS | Any goodness we have comes from God. We need to remember that we are naturally sinful, but that we can do good things when we choose to live God’s way. Mark 2:1-12 Jesus Heals and Forgives |
| FAITHFULNESS | When we commit to doing something and don’t quit until it’s done, we are showing faithfulness. When we always choose to make the right choice, even when tempted to do wrong, we are showing faithfulness. With help from the Holy Spirit, we can be faithful to God. 1 Samuel 24 David Spares Saul’s Life |
| GENTLENESS | Gentleness may sound weak, but it actually takes more strength to be gentle. Displaying gentleness to others means that we are considerate of other people and treat them with love and respect even if they don’t treat us the same way. Jesus is our perfect example of gentleness that is also strong and bold. Matthew 11:25-30 Rest for the Weary |
| SELF-CONTROL | Self-control means exactly what it sounds like, controlling one’s self. It means we are able to tell ourselves and others no when we may be tempted to do wrong. While the other young men in the king’s court indulged in whatever they liked, Daniel and his friends exhibited self-control and they were blessed because of it. Daniel 1:1-17 Daniel’s Training |
