If interested in serving in this worthwhile ministry, call Wagner Floriani at 661-296-8737 X153 for a volunteer application.
Grace Kids
Our Bible story this Sunday is challenging to hear because it teaches us how Stephen, a follower of Jesus, was killed because of his faith in Jesus. Even though followers of Jesus will face suffering, we can trust that Jesus is with us. He understands our suffering because he suffered on the cross for our sins.
As the early church began to grow, they began to face persecution. Many apostles were questioned, arrested, and beaten. Peter and John were told never to preach the gospel again, but they continued, knowing it was more important to obey God than men.
Last week, we learned that believers also faced problems within the church. But God gave the church wisdom to appoint men to serve the needs of the church, and the church continued to grow. Jesus told his followers that they would be persecuted, hated, hurt, or even killed for loving him. Jesus also said that those who suffer for him would be blessed. We can face suffering in this life because Jesus suffered first. He died and then rose again, and he is waiting for us in heaven.
Pray for our kids to choose to trust in Jesus and to ask him to forgive them of their sins. Pray for them to put their hope in Christ, knowing that he died so that they could live forever with him in heaven.
Mark your calendars:
