About This Preteen Bible Lesson

This free printable Bible lesson introduces preteens to the Bible passage in John 2:1–11, where Jesus performs His first sign at a wedding in Cana. Children explore how Jesus steps into an ordinary moment of need and quietly reveals His power, compassion, and divine authority. The lesson follows the Trueway Word W.O.R.D. Bible study method, guiding preteens to Walk into God’s Word, Observe what the passage says, Reflect on what it means, and Discover how to live it out in everyday life.

The Big Question

Does God care about the small things in my life?
This lesson helps children see that Jesus notices what others overlook. By caring about a simple but embarrassing problem at a wedding, Jesus shows that no concern is too small to bring to God, and that His care reaches into everyday pressures and needs.
