When has someone brought you a message of hope that made a huge impact on your life? Think of how the people of Philippi must have felt when Paul visited to tell them the good news!
After Pentecost, Jesus’ disciples traveled all over, preaching the good news that God was reconciling the world to Himself through Christ’s death and resurrection. Miracle followed miracle those were amazing days! Saul of Tarsus was born spiritually in those astonishing times, and he began to declare that God’s Son had paid the price for sin. A dream from God led him to go to Philippi. Paul didn’t know what to expect, but he knew it was right to act in obedience to what God told him to do.
• Who may God be nudging you to tell about Him?
• What can you do or say to follow God’s leading?
As you pray for the children in your class, ask God to lead you in class to show Jesus’ love
with your actions and your words. Each week in class, we don’t know what to expect, but we
do know that God has plans to use us in leading kids to Jesus.
