FAMILY PLUS Preschool - July 21


Summer is coming to a close next week. I hope you had the opportunity to spend time with your families over the summer. It's not to late. You don't have to spend a lot of money. Your back yard is full of memories waiting to happen. Pitch a tent, spend time looking at the moon and stars, or catch lighting bugs. The important thing is to spend time together. 
 
This Sunday July 24, 2011
 
Each age group's story is the same this week. I have simplified each age level.
 
*See below for upcoming events
 
1's and 2's
God gives all believers spiritual gifts that he expects them to use in His work. He also calls all believers to share the gospel by using those spiritual gifts. Satan is sure to bring opposition, but God sustains us through the opposition.

God used Paul and Barnabas  in Iconium to reach many Jews and Gentiles with the gospel. However, they also encountered opposition. Do you think the persecution discouraged Paul and Barnabas? God's word is clear that they continued to preach, spending a considerable time there. These leaders were committed to the Lord so they could carry out His will.

Read Acts 14:24-28. Paul and Barnabas returned to Antioch and told the church what God had done through them. God had enlarged His kingdom through their efforts. This weeks story reminds us that we need to pray for missionaries and people who need to hear the gospel. I often remind the preschoolers that they are missionaries too. That you don't always have to travel the world to be a missionary. Go tell others about Jesus. 

Bible Story: Paul and Barnabas Told About Jesus Acts 13:1-3; 14:1-3, 21-28

Bible Truth: People can help others learn about Jesus.

Bible Story: Paul and Barnabas Told About Jesus Acts 13:1-3; 14:1-3, 21-28
Paul and Barnabas were teachers. They and others taught  in the church at Antioch. One day when the teachers in the church were worshiping God, god told them He wanted Paul and Barnabas to do some special work. The others teachers prayed for Paul and Barnabas and sent them off to other places to tell about Jesus. Paula and Barnabas became traveling missionaries. 

Paul and Barnabas traveled to may places teaching about Jesus. In one town, they went into a synagogue and listened to someone read from the Bible Scroll. Paul taught the men more about God and Jesus. When they started to leave the synagogue, the people invited them to come back the next week and teach them more about Jesus.

During the week, people followed Paul and Barnabas to learn more about Jesus. The next week a large crowd of people came to hear them at the synagogue. Some of the leaders did not want Paul and Barnabas to talk to the crowd of people. They said unkind things about Paul and Barnabas. 

Paul and Barnabas said, "We will tell everyone about Jesus. God wants all people to know that He sent His Son, Jesus." Some people were happy to hear about Jesus. They told others the good news about Jesus.

The same thing happened in another town. Paul and Barnabas left that town and told people in other places about Jesus. In all those places they helped people begin churches where they could learn more about Jesus.
 
Bible Truth: People go everywhere telling others about Jesus
 
Bible Verse: Go and tell others about Jesus Mark 16:15 and Teach other people about Jesus. 2 Timothy 2:2
