Today in Kids' Connection: Paul Became a Missionary (Acts 13-14)

BIBLE STORY SUMMARY:
• The Holy Spirit chose Paul and another believer, Barnabas, to share the good news about Jesus to Jews and Gentiles.
• They traveled to Lystra and preached the gospel. In Lystra, they faced trouble from Jews who came from Antioch and Iconium. They turned the people in Lystra against Paul.
• Then Paul and Barnabas went to Derbe and shared the gospel. Many people believed, and churches were started.

CHRIST CONNECTION:
God had a plan for Paul to share the gospel with Gentiles, no matter what troubles he faced. Many believed in Jesus. The church grew and the gospel spread so that people all over the world could be saved from their sins by trusting in Jesus.

BIG PICTURE QUESTION:
Who can be saved? Anyone who trusts in Jesus can be forgiven of their sins and be right with God.

**Next Week: Family Worship Sunday

Today in Kids' Connection: Paul Became a Christian (Acts 9)

BIBLE STORY SUMMARY:
• On the way to Damascus to arrest Christians, a bright light flashed around Saul. Then Jesus asked Saul why he was persecuting Jesus.
• Saul couldn’t see and needed help getting to Damascus. In Damascus, a believer named Ananias restored Paul’s sight.
• Saul was baptized and began to preach that Jesus is the Son of God. Saul was a Christian.

CHRIST CONNECTION:
Jesus appeared to Saul and changed him inside and out. Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners.
(1 Timothy 1:15) Jesus called Saul, who was once an enemy to Christians, to spend the rest of his life telling people the gospel and leading them to trust in Jesus.

BIG PICTURE QUESTION:
Who can be saved? Anyone who trusts in Jesus can be forgiven of their sins and be right with God.

Today in Kids' Connection: We Are Part of One Church (1 Corinthians 12)

BIBLE STORY SUMMARY:
• Paul wrote a letter to the church in Corinth to remind them not to be divided. He said Jesus came to bring people together as one body.
• Paul said the body is made of many parts that are unified.
• Paul wrote that every part of the body is important.

CHRIST CONNECTION:
Paul told the believers in the Corinthian church to come together because of the gospel.
He reminded them that Jesus saves sinners. Because of Jesus and what He has done,
believers from every nation, tribe, people, and language can humbly come together as one body—the church.

BIG PICTURE QUESTION:
What is the church? The church is all Christians everywhere, who gather together in their communities to worship and serve God.

Today in Kids' Connection: Fruit of the Spirit FAITHFULNESS

BOTTOM LINE: Be faithful to God.

OBJECTIVE: Kids will be able to state what faithfulness is.

KEY PASSAGE: 1 Samuel 24, David Spares Saul’s Life

MEMORY VERSE:
“But the fruit the Holy Spirit produces is love, joy and peace. It is being patient, kind and good. It is being faithful and gentle and having control of oneself. There is no law against things of that kind.” Galatians 5:22-23 (NIrV)

SUMMARY:
When we commit to doing something and don’t quit until it’s done, we are showing faithfulness. When we always choose to make the right choice, even when tempted to
do wrong, we are showing faithfulness. With help from the Holy Spirit, we can be faithful to God.
