Grace Kids
This Sunday, we will begin a new unit titled The Church Is Opposed. Our kids have been taught that Jesus had promised that his followers would face opposition just as he did, and it didn’t take long for that to happen. The church was opposed by outsiders as it also experienced conflict from within. But just as God had used the opposition of Jesus for good, he would use the opposition of the church for good, too.
Continuing our study of Acts, this week we’ll teach from Chapter 5 and find that the apostles didn’t stop sharing the gospel even when they were arrested and faced opposition. They wanted to obey God. Jesus calls his followers to be faithful and tell others about him, even in times of trouble. Just as Jesus experienced rejection and suffering, so will his followers. We can have joy in suffering, knowing God uses our suffering, like Christ’s, for his glory.
Please pray for our kids to understand and believe that Jesus suffered to save us from our sins. Pray for them to desire to obey God with all their heart even in times of trouble.
Mark your calendars:
Summer Adventure will be June 24-28, 2024.
Volunteer registration begins on April 1, 2024.
