BIBLE STORY COLORING PAGE (PRINTABLE)

1. PLAY IN A TENT - Build a tent with your toddler using a couple of blankets, a few chairs, and a broom or mop for the center. Sit in the tent with your toddler and have a snack as you talk about the Bible story. SAY: Paul told people about Jesus everywhere he went. Paul met Priscilla and Aquila, who made tents like he did. Together they told others about Jesus and helped them understand the Good News about Jesus because,CHRISTIANS TELL OTHERS ABOUT JESUS!
   
   
2. GO AND TELL -Clear your living room floor of obstacles and get some music ready. Tell your toddler that when the music starts playing he/she is supposed to "GO" (start walking in a circle) and when the music stops playing to stop and "TELL" (shout, "JESUS LOVES YOU!") others about Jesus. SAY: The Holy Spirit sent Paul to Jerusalem. Paul told people about Jesus everywhere he went because telling people about Jesus is most important. CHRISTIANS TELL OTHERS ABOUT JESUS, and we can too!
   
   
3. EXAMINE THE BIBLE - The Bible, it’s God’s words, and God’s words are true!The stories in the Bible are not made up, they are about real events, real people, in real places that you can actually still visit today!
   This week's story is about the Holy Spirit sending Paul to Jerusalem, Israel and Paul going even though he knew persecution was waiting for him there. He went anyway because he knew that telling others the Good News about Jesus is the most important! More important than his own personal comfort and even more important than his personal safety. Help your child to see that Jerusalem is a real place. The events of the Bible are not a seperate history, but a part of the real historical timeline of our world. You can read this week’s story from Acts 18:1-4, 24-28; 20:17-38. If you do not have a Bible or would like your toddler to have one of his/her own, please contact us at [email protected] and we would be happy to help get one to you. Help your child experience that this isn’t a story just on the video, or told by Miss Laura, this is a true story that is right in their very own Bible! The Entire Bible is about God's plan to send Jesus to rescue us! This was Paul's message everywhere he went, "Anyone who trusts in Jesus will be saved!"
   CHRISTIANS TELL OTHERS ABOUT JESUS so others can love Him too!

VBC Kids jr.
Intro with Ms. Omaira, Mila & Lucas!

Bible Story: Paul's Third Journey (Acts 18:1-4, 24-28; 20:17-38)
Bible Verse: You will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth. Acts 1:8
Big Idea: Christians tell about Jesus.
Main Point: Christians tell about Jesus
Big Picture Question: How do people hear about Jesus? God uses Christians to tell others about Jesus.

Bible Story Video Questions: (Watch the video and ask your kids these questions)

1. How did Aquila and Priscilla help Apollos? (They taught him more about Jesus)
2. Where did God want Paul to go? (Jerusalem)
3. What would happen to Paul in Jerusalem? (We would be put in prison)
4. What was more important to Paul: having an easy life or doing the work God had for him? (doing the work God had for him.)
5. What was the work God had for Paul? (telling people the good news about Jesus)

SAY • The good news about Jesus was spreading through many people. God helped Paul preach with courage while he did hard things. Paul knew telling people the good news about Jesus was more important than having an easy life.

Family Activities:

HIDDEN PICTURE (PRINTABLE) Activity Sheet  

MAKE A TENT: Provide large sheets and invite your child to make tents. Your child may simply drape the sheets over chairs or tables. Consider hanging a string between two walls. Make sure the string is secure. Help your child drape a sheet over the string to create a tent. Prove pillows and books to fill the tents. 

SAY • We have been learning a lot about Paul these last few weeks, but did you know that Paul had a job? Paul made tents. In today’s Bible story, Paul made some new friends who were also tentmakers. Paul stayed with them and worked with them.

MAKE FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS: Lead your child to cut colorful drinking straws into pieces and string the pieces onto a chenille stem. When your child has finished stringing straw pieces, show her/him how to twist the ends together to form a bracelet. Be sure sharp edges are bent back. Invite her/him to give the bracelet to a friend.

SAY • What friend are you going to give your friendship bracelet to? Paul became friends with Pricilla and Aquila in today’s Bible story. Then Priscilla and Aquilla became friends with Apollo. The church leaders loved Paul and prayed fro him. God helped Paul preach with courage. 

MAKE CARDS FOR CHRISTIAN PRISONERS: Identify an organization that ministers to persecuted Christian and distributes letters of encouragement to Christian prisoners. Read and follow the guidelines the organization lays out for sending letters to prisoners. Set out construction paper, stickers, and markers or crayons for your child to make and decorate ards. Write “I am praying for you!" On each card. Take time to pray for the prisoners who will receive your child’s cards. Place the card in an envelope to mail to the delivering organization.    

SAY • God wanted Paul to go to the city of Jerusalem. He knew that he would be put in prison there. God helped Paul preach with courage. Paul knew that having an easy life was not the most important thing; the most important thing was to do the work God had for him. Today there are Christinas in prison just because they love and follow Jesus. We can pray for them and encourage them.

BIBLE STORY: Paul's Third Journey (Acts 18:1-4; 20:17-38)
BIG IDEA: Be brave and tell someONE about Jesus.
BIBLE VERSE: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8

ACTIVITY PAGES:

YOUNGER KIDS (PRINTABLE)
OLDER KIDS (PRINTABLE)

DO IT: BLANKET TENTS
Use large blankets, chairs, and tables to make a tent. 
Paul was a missionary, but he also worked as a tentmaker. Doo you think Paul's tents were better than yours? How did Paul use tentmaking to spread the good news about Jesus?

DO IT: CARDS FOR MISSIONARIES
Look on the world outreach page and find a missionary you'd like to send a card to. Pray for them and make them a card or picture. Take it to the church office and they'll mail it for you!
Being a missionary is often a difficult calling. God gives us the Holy Spirit to help us push through hard times and obey Him even when we are afraid. God helped Paul preach with courage even when he was in danger, and the church prayed for and encouraged Paul. We can pray for and encourage missionaries too!

 

 

ASK YOUR FAMILY: 

If you were going to be a missionary where would you go and why?
You can be a missionary right here too...be brave and tell someone about Jesus!
