Bible Hero
Devotional Bible Lessons for Kids & Youth

Introduce real Bible hero characters to kids by using what they already know about comic book heroes!  Whether your helping your own child learn to dig into God's Word or want to use these to go along with some of our other themed lessons - "I Am Incredible" identity Bible lessons or our Armor of God lessons, these free printables will help you place God's Word into their hands, minds & hearts.

We all would love to see ourselves as a "super hero"!  Well, the real Super Man was "just" Clark Kent; the real Spider Man was "just" Peter Parker, etc.  - ordinary people with supernatural gifts/abilities.  God uses ordinary, unexpected people to do extraordinary spectacular feats!  The disciples were a motley crew that Jesus empowered to turn the world upside down, and He is able to do the same with us!

God did not create us to be a bunch of minions that look alike and live just to find an evil master to serve.  We are each a masterpiece created by the Creator of all to be uniquely who He has called us to be....His children.

Our focal verse for memory for these Bible hero lessons is Psalm 139:14, “I am fearfully and wonderfully made!”   Each of these Bible lessons for kids focuses on a special aspect of what our identity becomes when we trust Jesus.

Bible Hero Devotional

"Incredible Me" was our theme for our kids' camp a couple of years ago, and these are the Bible hero devotional lessons I wrote for it.  Feel free to use them at no cost, but please do not publish, copy or distribute in any way except for your small group.  Thanks!

A few include:

Spiderman (Peter Parker)

VS

Bible Hero Peter

Batman 

VS

Bible Hero Moses

Hulk

VS

Bible Hero Samson


I printed the Bible hero devotions on card stock leaving the back for notes.

I then cut them apart, punched holes for the metal binder rings, and added the Minion devotion cover.  The cover may be laminated if you want it to last longer.

The smaller size and ability to flip back and forth made these easily portable for the kids at camp.

Each devotional also included the Gospel message and how to have a quiet time.  We used the first four Bible hero devotions at camp and then added the nine Armor of God devotions for youth to continue once at home in hopes of them developing an ongoing daily quiet time with God.

Each Bible hero devotional includes a short superhero/Bible hero comparison, a section to help them "look it up" in their own Bible, something to think about, a takeaway to remember and a prayer prompt. 

Day 1 - "I Am Chosen!"

Do you remember Spiderman’s real name? It was Peter Parker, and he was just an ordinary, even “nerdy” high school kid with problems fitting in just like everyone else! Peter got bitten by a radioactive spider, and his life was changed; he became Spiderman!

Now what happened to Peter Parker was random,; it was an accident, and well, he wasn’t really real anyway! He reminds me of another Peter mentioned in the Bible who was real. His name was Simon Peter. What happened to him was anything but random or an accident…He was chosen!

Simon Peter was an ordinary young guy in the family work of fishing. He and his brother, Andrew, were out in their boat fishing away one day and catchingNOTHING. Then they met Jesus!

LOOK IT UP: 

Find the Gospel of Matthew in your Bible. (Hint: It’s the first book in the New Testament.) Go to chapter 4 and read verses 18-20.

Jesus chose Simon Peter and 11 other ordinary men to follow Him. They weren’t rich or super smart or super talented…they were 12 regular guys. They each had a choice of whether they would follow Jesus or not. Peter did follow Jesus, and God used him in incredible ways! Why he was the only one who walked on the water other than Jesus! Flip over to Matthew 14:23-33 and read it for yourself!

THINK ABOUT: What caused Peter to start sinking? What happens when we take our eyes off Jesus? When are some times in your own life you doubt? Jesus didn’t give up on Peter when he doubted, He reached out and saved Peter!

REMEMBER: Jesus has chosen me too! Salvation is not automatic though; He lets me choose whether I will follow Him or not.

PRAY: Thank God for sending Jesus to be your Avenger/Redeemer! Thank Him for choosing you & loving you!

"Incredible kids" Lesson Plans:

These Bible hero devotionals corresponded with our "Incredible Me" Bible lessons for morning devotions and then to extend to take home Bible devotions.

  1. "I am Created"- I am incredible because God created me in His image!  Includes Bible verses from Psalm 139, Genesis & John with an object lesson & game!
  2. "I am Chosen" -  I am incredible because God loves me and has made a way for me to choose Him! A salvation focused lesson based on the life of David and how he was chosen but also chose God.
  3. "I am Christ's" - I am incredible because with Jesus I am never alone; He is always with me and makes me a part of God's family!  Based on the story of Ruth and Boaz.
  4. "I am Called" - I am incredible because God has a plan & purpose for my life! This is shown through the life of John the Baptist.  We make Jesus known to others!

These seven Bible hero kids' lessons are included in the thirteen free Bible hero devotionals which are available to print with the "Incredible Me" devotional cover.

Special note: We do preview the websites to which we link, but are unable to peruse them completely. We try to check others' faith statements and make sure they do profess Jesus Christ as God's Son and salvation is found only in Him. It must, however, be your responsibility to personally dig into God's Word and allow the Holy Spirit to be your first and final teacher on all subjects.
