Materials Needed:

  • Internet access
  • What happens when something or someone gets a makeover or transformation? (Answers may include: They look brand new; they look completely different; there have been transforming changes; etc.)
  • Who or what have you seen receive a makeover or transformation? (Answers may include: Our house got a new coat of paint; my room was rearranged and looked totally new; my mom got a new haircut, etc.)

Before and after pictures can be pretty amazing.  A house with a new coat of paint on it, or a friend who gets a new haircut can look completely different. Some makeovers or transformations are more dramatic than others.

Some of you may have heard of TV shows about hoarders who keep everything. Their homes become full of items they can’t let go. Check out this video of a hoarder’s house before and after being cleaned.

  • What do you think of the house before and after cleaning? How has it changed? (Answers: It’s clean, you can see the floor, you can sit on the furniture, you can use the table and counter space, etc.)
  • What are some other things you’d like to see receive a makeover? How would you give them a new look?  (Answers will vary.)

Makeovers or transformations can make us feel like a brand-new person. The before and after can be dramatic. Many times, these changes only focus on the outside and what we can see. What about changes on the inside? Can that need a makeover too? The condition of our hearts needs more care and attention than anything we see on the outside! 

Today we’re going to meet someone who was in desperate need of a makeover. However, the makeover we’re going to learn about today was a supernatural makeover done by Jesus Himself.  Let’s see what happened in this all-inclusive, life-changing makeover story.
