The Peter Sinks, Jesus Saves! lessons adapted for Home Use, Intergeneration, or "Short Class" times –Lessons for Families at Home



Here are 5 "at-home" -style lessons adapted from the Writing Team's full "Peter Sinks, Jesus Save" lesson set.

They are based on the Writing Team's original in-class Peter Sinks lessons and have been shortened and adapted for home use (originally during the 2020-21 pandemic but great for any time). Each of these adapted lessons has a PDF that you can print or email to share with members of your church.

  • “3D Hands” Art Lesson: Make and color a “3D” picture of Christ’s hand reaching out to save Peter, as a reminder that Jesus reaches out to save us—even when we fear and doubt. See the lesson below or download and share the pdf.


  • Boat and Butter Cooking Lesson: Fill a "boat" container with heavy cream, and then shake, rattle and roll your boat through a variety of story-related situations. The cream changes to butter, just like our faith changes and grows when we are part of God’s family (the Church). See the lesson below or download and share the pdf.




  • Water Workshop Lesson: Gather around "The Sea of Galilee" (a bathtub or wading pool) to re-tell the story with an extra focus on the meaning of the waves and boat in the story. See the lesson below or download and share the pdf.


  • Matching and Mad Libs Games Lesson: Play a memory card matching game with pictures of the story—but you can only turn cards over to try and make a match after answering a question about the story. You will also come up with a “Jesus version” of Psalm 46, complete with some of your own fill-in-the-blanks. See the lesson below or download and share the pdf.


For adults who want to dig a little deeper into the study of this story, we recommend our Bible Background.
