Teacher Resource (05.17)

You may have noticed we skipped the lesson on the martyrdom of Stephen.
You can refer to  his story as part of the persecution.

Here is a "Bible Study activity" you can do with young kids.
God made the promise in Acts 1:8.
God begins fulfilling the promise in Acts 8:1
Click on the picture for the pdf or just write this on poster board and have the kids draw lines between similar BIG words.

Teacher Resources (05.10)






















Nothing is going to stop the spread of the Gospel.

The use of STOP signs would be a very helpful visual this week.

Explaining Gamaliel's counsel in Acts 5:38, 39 is essential 

"So in the present case I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or this undertaking is of man, it will fail; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You might even be found opposing God!”
"One of the greatest platform for evangelism is a growing changing life." 
How can we become the opposition to the Gospel?

For younger kids breaking down barriers such as walls of blocks or butcher block paper could be a good visual.
Another example for all ages is receiving directions from two different people, an adult and a friend, which should you follow and why?

Teacher Resources (05.03)

Authentic (Barnabas) vs. Fake (Ananias & Sapphira)

This month's memory verses are Philippians 4:12, 13
Remember to keep verse 13 in the context of verse 12.
"I can do all things through him who strengthens me" is not to try superhero type activities.

This week's story and this month's memory verses (12 and 13 together) provide a great start to talk about offerings and giving (spiritual disciplines).

Be sure to check the teacher note also.
