More about these Bible coloring pages

β€˜As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee’ (Matthew 4:18), He called Simon Peter and Andrew to follow Him. My kids love this story, and with these six images, they can color moments from that scene. One page shows Jesus with the disciples in a boat, while another has them pulling in their nets. I printed these out last Thursday for our homeschool group. The kids responded with excitement, asking questions about why they would leave everything to follow Jesus. It opened up beautiful conversations about faith and commitment. I love how this sea of galilee coloring page for kids brings the Bible story to life.
