Family devotional  , "a blessing with every lesson", week 25 - an angel visits mary -, bible time fun through the bible, kids bible lesson 25 - an angel visits mary.

Welcome to week 25!

This week your children learn the Bible story about a faithful girl named Mary.

God sent an angel, Gabriel, to deliver a special message to Mary. Gabriel told Mary that she would be the mother of the Son of God. What an honor! Mary did not believe that she, a virgin, would have a miraculous pregnancy of the world’s most important baby, Jesus. Mary was very excited to be the Lord’s servant. 

In this Bible lesson, the children will learn that God can do anything and he is worthy of our trust. We must be willing to serve God with all our hearts. Have fun learning this wonderful story!

Who is it bible Activity

It was a miracle for Mary to have this special baby. She knew it was a miracle from God.

We used the "Who Is It Bible Activity"   to teach our daughters about the importance of each character in the 'An Angel Visits Mary' Bible story.

stand up angel Bible craft

The angel Gabriel, told Mary she would be the mother of the Son of God. Mary’s pregnancy was a miracle.

This 'Angel Visits Mary' Bible craft can be made by making a standing angel with a piece of white card stock paper. First, cut the upper body (including the head) with one half of the paper.

Next, using the second half of the paper, make a cone shape that can stand to be the bottom part of the angel.

Finally, draw a face on the angel, then attach a craft stick to the back of the upper and lower part of the angel. 

(We used the “Stand Up Angel Bible Craft" found in

the Bible Time Family Fun Pack ).

servant of the lord bible craft activity

Mary was happy to serve the Lord!

We too should be willing and happy to serve God.

We used the   " Servant Of The Lord Bible Craft Activity" ,   to help our girls learn Mary’s response to God.

trust bible walk 

It can be hard to put our trust in someone, especially if you don’t know what the outcome will be. Mary trusted God, even though she did not understand everything.

To help demonstrate trust to our girls, we guided them through a path blindfolded. We gave them verbal commands and they carefully followed.

We explained how this demonstration is like us putting our trust in God. We might not know where we are going, but if we listen to his guidance, he will lead us down the right path.

ready to serve Bible gift BASKET

Mary was willing to be the Lord’s servant. Her service to God was a blessing to many other people.

For this preschool Bible activity, we made gift baskets to deliver to our local YWCA. We talked about the joy of giving and how acts of service make both us and those being served happy. 

During  the 'Ready To Serve' Bible Gift activity, I reminded the girls how important it is to serve God.

I Believe It! bible game

God sent a message to Mary that she would have a special baby that would be God’s own Son. 

Even though this seemed impossible, Mary believed God because she knew that God can do anything.

We played a fun game called  "I Believe It! Bible Game" , that showed the girls how great God is.

Gabriel Visits Mary (Kids Bible Lesson) Isaiah 9; Luke 1:26-38

Lesson Opening: A Long-Awaited Promise

Ask if anyone has ever been promised something that they had to wait awhile to receive. Maybe it was a gift of some kind, a special trip, etc. Ask what was difficult about waiting? How did they feel when they finally received what had been promised. Was the gift, trip, etc. worth waiting for? Say that God made a promise to send Jesus long before he was born, and today we’ll hear prophecies that were made hundreds of years before His birth. God’s people waited a long time for the promised Messiah to arrive. Pray that God would open our hearts to His Word today and that He would draw us closer to Him through Christ.

Tell the Story

Ask: Does anyone know what it means to make a prediction? Ask: Can you think of any examples of predictions people make? ( Weather forecasts, which sports team will win, product sales, end of the world, etc.) Say: Did you know that there are predictions in the Bible? They’re called prophecies, and they tell about things that will happen in the future. Say: Today we’re going to learn about a very important prophecy in the Bible that tells us something special about Jesus. We’ll also hear how that same prophecy came true and that Jesus is God’s promised Son. That’s our main point for today so let’s learn the hand motions together. Main Point: Jesus is God’s promised Son. Say: Isaiah was a prophet of God. That meant that God spoke to Isaiah and Isaiah wrote down the things God said so he could share them with all of God’s people. One day God spoke to Isaiah about something really special that God was going to do. You see, the world was broken because of sin, and God’s chosen people had stopped believing and trusting Him. But God had a plan to rescue His people and bring them close to Him again. This was the special plan that He told Isaiah about, and Isaiah wrote it all down. Say: I’m going to read a few verses from Isaiah’s prophecy and as I do listen for the different things that he said about God’s Son. Read from Your Bible: Isaiah 9:6-7 Ask: What are some things Isaiah said would be true about God’s Son? ( He would be born as a baby, he would be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Prince of Peace, his reign will never end, etc.) Say: God told Isaiah that He would send His Own Son to live among the people on earth. His name would be Immanuel, which means, “God is with us.” He would be a great king, but not like the kings anyone had ever known before. He wouldn’t live in a fancy palace and have lots of money. No, this king would be poor. In fact, he would be a servant. That might not sound much like a king to you and me, but God promised that His Son would rule as king forever! God also said that His Son would come to earth as a little baby. That sounds crazy right? God planned to rescue the whole world and He would do it with a helpless little baby? It might sound strange, but that’s exactly what God promised. Say: That reminds me of our main point. Let’s practice it again together. Main Point: Jesus is God’s promised Son. Say: Later on in God’s Word, in the New Testament, we read how all these promises of God came true. This time God sent an angel named Gabriel to speak to a young girl named Mary. Mary was engaged to a man named Joseph, but they weren’t married yet. The angel Gabriel appeared to her and he must have been really big and bright because Mary felt frightened. Gabriel told her to not be afraid and that God was very happy with her. Gabriel told her that she was going to have a baby boy and she would name him Jesus. Jesus would be God’s Own Son that He had promised years and years ago. This little baby boy would grow up to rescue the world and bring everyone close to God again. He would beat sin and death and help people to believe and trust God again. Say: At first Mary was surprised. She wasn’t even married yet. How could she have a baby? But Gabriel said that nothing is too big or too difficult for God. Mary trusted that God would do what He had promised. Read Luke 1:31-33 Ask: What are some things you heard that Gabriel said about Jesus? ( Allow 2-3 kids to respond.) Say: That’s right! Gabriel said that Jesus would be God’s own Son and that he would reign as king forever, just like Isaiah had written about! Who remembers our main point? Let’s say it again together. Main Point: Jesus is God’s promised Son. Ask: Have you ever gotten to share some really good news with a friend or family member? What was it? ( Allow 1-2 kids to answer.) Ask: Isaiah and Gabriel got to announce some really good news didn’t they? It’s good news for us that Jesus came to earth because we’re people that he came to save too! God wants to rescue all people, including you and me, from our sin. He wants us to be close to Him and know Him and love Him. When we know Jesus we can know God. That’s why Jesus came to earth in the first place. He wants us to let him beat the sin in our hearts so we can be close to God again. Say: Do you like sharing good news? Of course you do! Everyone loves to tell people about good things that happen to them. Well, the news of Jesus’ birth and life on earth is news that you can share too. You probably know someone (or lots of people) who aren’t close to God. Because we have the good news about Jesus that means we can share it with others so they can know and love God too. Pray …. Dear God, thank you for your Word and for sending Your Son Jesus to earth to live a perfect life and die for our sins so that we could be close to you again. Help us to share this good news with people that we love who don’t know you yet! Amen.

Review Questions

• What was the main point from our lesson? ( Jesus is God’s promised Son.)
• What was the announcement that Isaiah made in the Old Testament?
• Who did God send to announce Jesus’ birth to Mary?
• Why is the news of Jesus coming to earth good news for us?

Learning Activity 1: Trusting God’s Plan                                         

Supplies: Bibles, paper, markers

• Say: When someone is about to have a baby there is a lot they need to do to prepare. They have to make sure they have a bed ready for the baby, blankets, diapers, a car seat, etc. When the angel came to Mary he was telling her about a very special baby that she would have. He would be the very Son of God! Mary was probably nervous and scared about the angel’s announcement.
• Have one child read Mary’s response to Gabriel in Luke 1:34-38.
• Ask: What was Mary’s attitude about this special assignment from God? (She was completely submitted to God’s will, even when it seemed scary.)
• Ask: Has God ever asked you to do something that felt impossible? What was your attitude about it?
• Ask the kids to think about a time that they felt overwhelmed by something God has asked them to do. Give them a few minutes to write about or draw a picture of that time. Give them time to share with the rest of the class if they would like.

Game: Trust Walk Maze                               

Supplies: Masking tape, blindfolds for half the class

• Prior to class starting create a pathway around the room using masking tape.
• Have the kids pair up with a friend. One kid will be blindfolded and the other will have to guide them along the tape pathway using only their voice. Allow time for each child to be blindfolded.
• Come back together as a class and ASK what was difficult about this game. Was it easier to be the blindfolded partner or the one giving instructions?
• Say that sometimes following God feels like walking with a blindfold on, but we can trust that God has a good plan for our lives, even when we go through difficult times. It was probably hard for Mary to trust God at times, but He never left her and He blessed her abundantly!

3 thoughts on “Gabriel Visits Mary (Kids Bible Lesson) Isaiah 9; Luke 1:26-38”

I love this class. It included very important points very easy for the kids to understand. Thank you for your help.

Thank you very much Pastor. God has answered my prayer, we have been looking for bible lessons for our children ministry. May the Lord bless you in all your ways. Most of the information on the internet is not for free, but you have given us expensive information for free. I pray that you may be richly blessed, may God grant all the desires of your heart. thank you Lucy.

I publish our church newsletter. I have a column called the Children’s Corner that is something for parents to do with their children to help them understand the Bible and living the life God wants. I am starting with the life of Jesus. I was difficult to find information on Gabriel’s visit to Mary. This lesson is great. Thank you.

Three Activities for Preschool Families: Angel Visits Mary

All too often we as adults lose the wonder of the Christmas story in the midst of its familiarity. It really is an amazing, awe-inspiring, true story! An angel – yes, big, frightening, heavenly being – came and talked to Mary. He told her she was going to have a baby, and she was still a virgin. This baby would be God’s Son, the long-awaited Messiah, sent to save the people from their sins. That is a story worth taking time to marvel about and to worship our God because it is true. Experience the wonder of the story through the eyes of your preschooler this week as you reinforce this story through these activities.

This week your child learned that Mary was chosen by God for a very special job. She was given this message by the angel, Gabriel, who came to her one day and told her she would have a baby and His name would be Jesus. He would be a very special gift to the world—He would be the Son of God. Mary was frightened, but the angel told her not to be afraid. God was pleased with her and would take care of her. Mary chose to be obedient to God’s plan and trust in Him. She said, “I am the Lord’s servant. May it be to me as you have said.” After Mary thought about these things for a while, she went to visit her cousin Elizabeth and tell her the good news (Luke 1:26-38).

Teaching Truths:

• We can trust God no matter what happens
• Jesus is God's plan to rescue the world from sin

Memory Verse:

"For God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

3 Activities that Help Us Learn This Week's Teaching Truth:

1. colorful angel.

Over the next few weeks, let’s make a few ornaments to remind your child of the events of Christmas. This past weekend, your child learned about the appearance of the angel to Mary. So, let’s make a Christmas angel ...First grab your supplies: 2 coffee filters, washable markers, a squirt bottle or small glass of water, plastic spoon, and tape. Lay out the filters and let your child scribble on both of them with the markers. Use the squirt bottle and spray in the middle once or twice and watch the colors spread, usually takes about five minutes. Let the filters dry completely, about 30 minutes. Scrunch one filter in the middle and wrap tape around it for the wings. Fold the second filter in half, wrap together to make a cone and tape it so it is secure. Tape the wings to the back of the cone. Draw a simple face on the plastic spoon and insert it into the hole at the top of the cone. Lastly, as your child finds a spot to place the angel on the tree, talk to him about how Mary reacted to the angel by using these questions.

• Mary had a trusting heart when the angel told her what God wanted her to do.
• What does God ask you to do today?
• How can you trust God like Mary?

2. Song Time

Incorporate Christmas carols into the time you spend together with your child at bed time or during the day singing songs together. Take time to talk about the words to songs like “Away in the Manger”, “Silent Night”, “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing”, or “What Child is This”.

3. Hit the Road

Take your family to experience a live nativity! Many churches in the area provide an opportunity to see a live reenactment of the nativity.

Pray a short, simple prayer thanking God that we can trust Him no matter what happens.

Give an index card and pencil to each child as they arrive. Ask them to write down at least four things about themselves that make them likeable. When everyone has at least four things, collect all the cards. Then read them one by one to the class and have the kids try to guess who it is. After everyone has guessed, let the owner of the card speak up. How many did each child guess correctly?

SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (15 minutes)

Introduction: Many years ago in Galilee, in a town called Nazareth, there lived a young woman named Mary. She was about to be married. During those days, it was customary for girls to be promised to be given away as young brides as soon as they reached puberty, which is about twelve years old. This custom was called betrothal, or engagement. The girl's parents had a lot to do with these decisions, not like today where the man and woman decide if they want to get married. A betrothal is not a practice in our culture today, but that was not the only unusual thing about Mary's engagement. She also had a strange visitor just before she was married. This visitor gave her news that was not only surprising, but it turned out to be Good News for all ages to come. Our story today is found in Luke 1:26-38.

Read Luke 1:26-38 (Jesus' Birth Foretold) Have the kids find this story in their Bibles. Ask for volunteers to read the passage, or if you prefer you can read it to the children.

Discussion Questions: 1. Does anyone know the significance of Gabriel's visit being on the 6th month? (Refer to Luke 1:5-25 for background information. Gabriel also visited Zechariah before the birth of John the Baptist, who was to be a prophet of the most high, and a forerunner of Jesus. Zechariah's wife was named Elizabeth, who was also Mary's cousin. John needed to be born before Jesus so he could tell the people to get prepared for the arrival of Jesus. The angel visited Mary about six months after John the Baptist was conceived.) 2. How did Mary react when Gabriel greeted her? (She was troubled at the greeting.) 3. After telling Mary not to be afraid, what was the Good News that Mary received? (She will give birth to a son named Jesus. He would be great, and called the Son of the Most High.) 4. Why was Mary chosen to be the mother of Jesus? (She found favor with God. See Luke 1:28.) 5. God was pleased when Mary surrendered to His Will and became obedient to Him. What other characteristics do you think Mary may have had that were pleasing to God? (The kids may want to refer to the list they created when they arrived.) 6. How about you? In what ways can you be pleasing to God, your parents, or your friends? Will others see you as a good person with these characteristics? (Allow for discussion.)

APPLICATION (2 minutes)

There are many words in the English language that mean "pleasing to God". Virtue, goodness, holiness, righteousness, honor, uprightness, integrity, and morality are a few. When these characteristics are missing, the person is not complete. Just like a memory verse with missing vowels. But a person who is pleasing to God and pleasing to others can be used in a mighty way. That's how God used Mary above all the other virgins to be the mother of His only Son. How wonderful! Who knows what great things are in store for all of us as we live lives that are pleasing to God.

Do you know who your grandfather is? How about your great-grandfather? How about your great-great-grandfather? Next week, we will discover who the great-grandfather of Jesus was, with great said 38 times. Any guesses?

The Angel appears to Mary

by truewaykids | Dec 5, 2019 | Bible Lesson , Christmas Lessons , New Testament | 0 comments

This week, we will look at our second week of the Christmas lessons. ( If you missed week one click here ). We will focus on Mary and her reaction to the angel’s message. This passage can be found in Luke 1:26-38.

Some of the key points we will look at are–

• Nothing is impossible for God.
• God works in ways we don’t understand.
• We can ask wise people for advice and counsel.

The Angel appears to Mary – Lesson Guide

There are some helpful animated videos and song ideas included in a youtube playlist to go along with this lesson.

Share with your child, how God often gave important messages to angels to deliver for him. Try to remember some from the Old Testament. Abraham for example.

Ask the child if they know who Mary is. Explain that Mary was a simple Jewish girl who honored God. Talk about how God chose her to give birth to His Son. Point out that people would be mean to Mary for obeying God, but she obeyed Him anyway. Explain that people thought Mary had done a bad thing, but she hadn’t. Remind the child that they should obey God, no matter what other people say.

Pull out baby photos of your child, you, your parents, etc. Point out characteristics that you have in common with your child, or they have in common with your parents. You can play a matching game, such as these two people have this similar feature or personality trait. Remind the child that every baby ever born needs both a mommy and a daddy. Then point out that God told Mary she would have a baby without a daddy, because God would be the baby’s Father. Marvel that nothing is impossible with God.

Mary sang a song to praise God. Talk about how God likes it when we sing praises to Him. Sing a song of praise to God with your child. You may also choose to create a song such as singing “Jesus is the Light of the World, Light of the World, Light of the World. Jesus is the Light of the World. He came on Christmas Day.” Sing these words to the tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb. You may select another phrase or tune (very simple children’s tunes are best) to allow your child to have the joy of creating their own song to praise God.

Point out that God works in ways we don’t understand. Pull up an online clip of a cartoon or other children’s show in a foreign language. Watch the clip together (make sure the content has speaking in it). Ask the child if they understood the talking in the video. Point out that we cannot understand the clip since we do not speak the language. Select a verse in a foreign language (if you know someone who speaks a foreign language, choose that one) or a children’s Bible song. Learn the verse or song with your child (you may use an online video to ascertain correct pronunciation). Then learn the verse or song in English. Talk about how God reveals some things to us, but others, only He understands.

Explain that just like we watched a video or asked a friend about the correct way to say something in another language, people can help us understand God better. Point out that when Mary needed help, she went to Elizabeth.

Ask the child who they can go to for advice. Point out that the Bible is filled with instructions on how to live. Ask the child if they can think of a verse that tells us how to live.

Share how God had also allowed Elizabeth to have a baby, even though she was too old and had waited a long time. Speak how God has a plan for people of all ages. You are never too young or too old to God.

If the child has memorized the song or verse in a language known to a friend, have the child share the song/verse with the friend.

As it is the second week, add Mary and Joseph to the nativity scene you are building. Point out that the time for Jesus’ arrival is getting close.

Pray with your child and thank God that nothing is impossible for Him. Ask Him to help you always obey Him.

Games and Activities

Visit a friend

Christmas is a great time to catch up with friends who maybe we don’t see to often. Reflect on how Mary planned a trip to visit Elizabeth, by planning a trip to visit a friend or family member. Thank God for the people He puts in our lives.

Make cards for a care Home

We all love receiving Christmas Cards. Remind your child how the angel delivered important messages from God. Make some Christmas card with your child and deliver them to your local care home. You could use the template provided or make your own. Ask the staff to give them to some of the residence who maybe otherwise wouldn’t have any. Remind your child the Christmas is for everyone, young and old. (Zechariah and Elizabeth thought they were to old).

Leap for Joy:  Remind your child how Elizabeth’s baby jumped with joy as Mary and Jesus approached. Give jumping directions for your child to follow. For example: jump high, jump low, jump forward, jump to the side and so on.

You could also turn it into a game by seeing who can jump the highest, furthest, funniest etc.
