Mary, being highly favored by the Lord, was taught a vital truth by an angel of the Lord: “With God, nothing shall be impossible.” Thankfully, this divine decree is recorded forever in scripture! The word of the Lord on the matter is perfectly clear. God is all powerful! And with God, nothing shall be impossible! If His power was in question, could we really have faith in Him to redeem us? To raise us up in the resurrection?
This lesson bundle is designed to help you and your children rejoice together over the glory and power of Almighty God! He indeed has the power to lift us up in resurrection, to redeem us and to qualify us for exaltation!

➤ P R E P A R A T I O N:
You will need a plate, some water, some pepper, and some dish soap.
➤ I N T R O D U C T I O N
Fill the plate with a small pool of water. Invite the children to gather around the plate. Sprinkle a light layer of pepper around the surface of the water. Invite each of the children to try to clear an open space in the center of the water by moving all of the pepper flakes to the edges of the plate. (This should be very difficult. The pepper won’t stay in position, and the pepper will start sticking to their fingers!)
Explain that there are many things that are impossible for us to do. However, God is all powerful and nothing is impossible with God. If God says he will do something, He has the power to do it!
Now invite one of the children to dip their finger in a small amount of dish soap. Explain that this represents God’s power. Sprinkle another thin layer of pepper on the water. Ask the volunteer to place their finger in the center of the water and see what happens! (The pepper will magically move to the edges of the plate!)
After you complete the activity, discuss the following questions:
1) Can you think of some things that God has done that would have been impossible for us to do? (Discuss miraculous events from the scriptures.)
2) Can you think of some promises that God has made that seem like they will be impossible? (Discuss some of the Lord’s promises that can be found in the scriptures.)
3) Do you think any of these promises are impossible for God? (Discuss.)
