Preparation: 
Prayerfully study and think about what the specific needs of your primary are and how you can teach them this doctrine.  

Sharing Time Instruction:
Begin by showing the primary children the poster that says, "Miracle".  Invite the children to share with you what they think the word Miracle means.  Thank the children for their participation.  Explain that a miracle is, “A miracle is an extraordinary event caused by the power of God... Faith is necessary in order for miracles to be manifested” (Guide to the Scriptures165).

Show the week theme poster and invite the children to repeat, " Jesus Christ is a God of miracles."

Before hand place pictures on the board, over the pictures place a piece of paper with a number on it.  Place some pieces of paper with numbers on them underneath some of the children's chairs.  Invite the children to look under their chairs to find the pieces of paper.  Explain that on the board are pictures of some of the miracle of Jesus Christ.  Invite one of the children to come up and find the picture that has the same number that was under their chair.  Take the paper off of the picture.  Ask the primary what miracle is shown in the picture.  Discuss that miracle with the primary children.  Continue until all pictures have been discussed.

Share your testimony of the miracles of the Savior how it showed his dominion over the earth and how by faith He helped other people.

Here is a list of the pictures of Christ's Miracles:

  1. Stilling the Storm, scripture reference: Luke 8:22-25 What to talk about: While Christ and His disciples were sailing on a ship there arose a storm. The disciples were afraid.  The Savior arose and calmed the storm.

  3. Claims to be of a "miracle mind" is really the ego, forgiveness-to-destroy and spiritual specialness. The ego speaks first and the loudest. Love is quiet; and love is expressed in this world through right-minded forgiveness. A course in miracles blog

  4. we are working a miracle Acim blog, it is in reality the Holy Spirit who manifests the miracle or brings it to pass. So what is needed to operate in this particular gift of the Spirit? The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus means that Christ is living his life in and through us as Christians. This involves the fruit of the Spirit in its entirety: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. That is why against such things such as these there is no law, because this is the highest law you can get. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus or the very life of Christ Jesus is being lived and manifested through us as Christians.
