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

 

Bible Story: Peter Visited Cornelius (Acts 10)

Bible Verse for January: "for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure." Philippians 2:13

Big Idea: The Holy Spirit Helps Us

Family Activities:

BIBLE STORY ACTIVITY SHEET FOR KIDS JR (PRINTABLE)  

Watch the Bible story video and ask the following review questions;

1. 1. What did Peter see in the vision God gave him? (all kinds of animals)
   2. What did a voice say when Peter did not want to eat the animals? (“God has made these clean.”)
   3. How many times did Peter see the vision? (three)
   4. What did Peter’s vision mean? (The good news about Jesus is for all people.)
   5. Did Cornelius, his family, and his friends believe the truth about Jesus? (yes)

SAY: Godgave Peter a vision to teach him something important. Peter thought the good news about Jesus was just for the Jews, but he was wrong. Peter learned the gospel is for all people. Everyone who believes inJesus will have their sins forgiven.

GO ON AN ANIMAL SAFARI - print from website Post the images throughout the room. Make some more challenging to find than others. Invite your child to go on a “safari” and locate all the animal images around the room. Your child can play out being each animal that they find. SAY • In the Old Testament, God gave His people rules about animals. Some animals were called clean and other animals were called unclean God’s people were not supposed to eat the unclean animals. In today’s Bible story, God taught Peter something about, but more importantly, God taught Peter something about the gospel, or good news about Jesus.

MAKE A MOBILE: – Give your child four different colors of multicultural people cutout, Guide your child to use markers of crayons to decorate their cutouts. Tie a length of yarn to each decorated cutout by punching a hole through the top. Write The gospel is for all people on a paper towel tube for your child. Invite your child to use stickers to decorate the tube. Hang each people-cutout from the paper towel tube by tying the yarn around the tube. Then run yarn through the length of the paper towel tube. Tie the ends together to form a hanging string. SAY • Everyone who believes in Jesus will have their sins forgiven. Peter learned the gospel is for all people. God used a vision to show Peter that the good news about Jesus is for everyone. God wants believers to tell everyone the good news about Jesus no matter who they are or what they do.

SORT ANIMALS: Set out a variety of animals for your child to sort. Ask your child to sort animals based on where they live, how many legs they have, or by color. For older preschoolers, consider using Leviticus 11:2-47 or finding a list online to guide your child in sorting the animals as clear or unclean.
SAY: Peter saw in a vision all kinds of animals, snakes and lizards, and birds. God used the vision to show Peter that the good news about Jesus is for everyone. Peter learned the gospel is for all people. God wants believers to tell everyone the good news about Jesus no matter who they are or what they do. Jesus is the Lord of all.

Grab a globe and let your fingers "trot" on it and spin it. (If you don't have a globe you can use a printout of a world map) When your fingers stop, figure out what country it landed on and pray for that country!
