Acts 24-26

Discuss

Mommy….Mommy….MOMMY! Have you ever heard a small child who wants to tell their parent something? Even if the parent is busy, the child will continue to shout their name until someone gives them the attention they want. The child thinks whatever they have to say is the most important thing, and they will do anything to get you to listen!  
 
Paul wasn’t shouting for his mommy, but he was continuously shouting the story of how Jesus had saved his life. Paul knew that this was the most important news anyone could hear, so he wanted everyone to listen! God gave Paul the opportunity to share the good news about Jesus with governors and kings. Even when the people tried to stop him, Paul was faithful to tell people about Jesus.  
 
Every follower of Jesus has a great story to tell! Like Paul sharing how Jesus had saved him on the road to Damascus, every believer can use their testimony to tell others about Jesus. Jesus has the power to save, and that’s a story worth sharing!
  

God had chosen Paul to take the gospel to Gentiles, kings, and the Israelites. Paul met with people again and again to tell the good news about Jesus. He wanted everyone to believe that Jesus is Lord. Because Jesus has the power to save people from sin, Paul was willing to do whatever it took to share the gospel.
Who are the people who share the good news about Jesus with you?
Why is this message worth sharing?
Who needs to hear about Jesus?

Act

For Fun
Encourage each family member to write a short story about what life would be like if you moved to the moon. If your family has younger kids, work with them to write their ideas into your story or draw pictures. Ask each family member to read their story for the rest of the family. After, discuss how Paul used his story of life-change to help others hear about Jesus. How can your testimony be a tool in helping others hear about Jesus?

To Serve
Take time to pray for local and national government leaders. Mail an encouraging card to their office that lets them know your family has prayed for them and the work they’re doing.
