THE CHURCH: Paul’s First Missionary Journey
Anna and Matt follow Paul and Barnabas as they travel to Antioch sharing the good news about Jesus. Some people believe and others reject their message, but Paul and Barnabas keep going because they know the results belong to God. ⭐ What Kids Will Learn: 🌱 Paul’s job was to faithfully share the gospel, but only God could change someone’s heart and save them. 🗺️ Paul and Barnabas traveled to other places to tell people the good news about Jesus. ✝️ They taught that Jesus lived a perfect life, died for our sins, and rose from the dead. 🌎 The gospel isn’t only for one group of people. God’s rescue plan has always included people from every nation. ❤️ Both Jews and Gentiles believed the good news and became part of God’s family. ⛪ The church is everyone who loves and trusts Jesus. 📖 Bible Passage: Acts 14:27 🏡 Try This at Home: 💌 Make a card for someone you love and send it to them. Include something your family has been learning about Jesus. 🌱 Talk about Becca’s garden example: We can plant gospel seeds by telling others about Jesus, but who makes those seeds grow? 🌎 Pray for missionaries who are sharing the good news about Jesus in other places. ⛪ Remind your kids that the church is much bigger than the people they see on Sunday. Everyone who loves and trusts Jesus is part of God’s family. ❓ 5-Second Fly Through Review: What do we call someone who tells other people in other places the gospel truth? (A MISSIONARY) Paul went on how many missionary journeys? (THREE) Did Paul and Barnabas share the gospel with the Jews in Antioch? (YES!)

THE CHURCH: Saul Meets Jesus
Anna and Matt continue following the growth of the early church with the incredible story of Saul. Saul once hated the church and tried to stop people from following Jesus, but everything changed when Jesus met him on the road to Damascus. ⭐ What Kids Will Learn: ❤️ Saul had a heart sick with sin and did not believe that Jesus was God's Son. ⛓️ Saul tried to stop the church and even traveled to Damascus to arrest followers of Jesus. ✨ Jesus appeared to Saul on the road to Damascus and Saul became blind. 🙏 God sent Ananias to pray for Saul, even though Ananias was afraid of him. 🕊️ The Holy Spirit gave Saul a new heart that loved and trusted Jesus. 🌎 God chose Saul to take the good news about Jesus to people all over the world. 📖 Bible Passage: 📖 Acts 9:1–19 🏡 Try This at Home: 🙏 Think of someone you know who doesn't yet love and trust Jesus. Pray that God would give them a new heart and help them believe the good news. 💬 Ask your kids, "Do you think anyone is too sinful for Jesus to save? Why not?" 📖 Read Acts 9 together and look for all the ways God changed Saul's life. 🌎 Ask God to give your family courage to tell someone about Jesus this week. ❓ 5-Second Fly Through Review: Who hated the Church and tried to stop them by throwing them in prison? (SAUL) Saul hated the Church so much because He had a heart that was sick with sin and did not believe what they were saying about… (JESUS) Where was Saul going to arrest followers of Jesus?

THE CHURCH: Simon the Magician and the Holy Spirit
Anna and Matt continue the story of the early church as Philip takes the good news about Jesus to Samaria. Kids will learn about Simon the Magician, who used tricks to make people think he was powerful, and discover that real, life-changing power belongs to God alone. ⭐ What Kids Will Learn: 🎩 A magician's tricks may look amazing, but they aren't the same as God's real power. 🌎 Philip shared the good news about Jesus with the Samaritans, even though Jewish people and Samaritans usually didn't get along. 🕊️ God gave the Holy Spirit to the Samaritan believers and showed that they were part of His family too. 💰 Simon tried to buy the power of the Holy Spirit, but God's power can never be bought. 👑 Only God is in charge of everything and has the power to save sinners and change hearts. 📖 Bible Passage: Acts 8:20 🏡 Try This at Home: 👟 Each morning when you put on your shoes, pause and pray: "God, You're in charge today, not me. Help me follow You and rely on Your Holy Spirit instead of trying to do things my own way." 📖 Read Acts 8 together and talk about the difference between Simon's tricks and God's real power. 💬 Ask your kids, "What is something you're tempted to control instead of trusting God with?" 🙏 Thank God that His Holy Spirit is with everyone who loves and trusts Jesus. ❓ 5-Second Fly Through Review: Who took the gospel to the people of Samaria? (PHILIP!) Did Jewish people and Samaritans normally get along? (NO!) What did God use Philip to do in Samaria? (HEAL PEOPLE / MIRACLES!) What was Simon’s job/what was he doing in Samaria before Philip arrived? (A MAGICIAN TRICKING PEOPLE!) Was Simon actually as powerful as God? (NO!) Who is ALWAYS in charge of everything?

Parent Talk: Is My Child Ready for Baptism?
Anna and Matt help parents navigate one of the biggest questions that can come up when raising kids in the faith: How do I know if my child is ready for baptism? Children can genuinely love and trust Jesus, but parents also want wisdom to discern between a passing moment and lasting evidence of the Holy Spirit’s work. ❤️ The REAL Marks of Grace 🙏 R — Repentance Look for more than an “I’m sorry” after getting caught. Is your child beginning to recognize their own sin, confess it, and understand that they need Jesus to forgive them and change their heart? ❤️ E — Expressed Love for Christ Does your child talk about Jesus outside of church or family worship? Do they show a growing desire to read the Bible, pray, and know Jesus without always being prompted? 🌱 A — Active Fruit of the Spirit Look for growing evidence of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, especially in areas where your child has struggled before. The fruit won't be perfect, but is there real growth? 🏃 L — Lasting Perseverance Faith isn't only about an emotional moment. After correction, disappointment, or an ordinary day, does your child continue returning to Jesus, prayer, and God's Word? 💧 Disciple Expectantly. Baptize Evidentially. The goal isn't to wait until your child is perfect. Instead, disciple your children expectantly, believing the Holy Spirit can genuinely save them at any age, while baptizing evidentially, looking for clear and lasting signs of repentance and faith. 🏡 What Parents Can Do Next 🙌 Praise God when your child expresses interest in following Jesus or baptism. 📖 Keep discipling them by reading Scripture, praying together, and modeling repentance. 👀 Look for the REAL Marks of Grace over time rather than rushing after one emotional moment. ⛪ Talk with your local church about its beliefs and process for baptizing children. 💬 Ask simple questions like, “What do you think baptism means?” and “Why do you want to be baptized?” ✝️ What Baptism Is—and Isn't Baptism does not save your child. Only Jesus saves. Baptism is a beautiful public picture and declaration of what Jesus has already done: a believer has died to sin and been raised to new life in Christ. It's an act of obedience to Jesus and a joyful testimony before the church family. 🙌 Encouragement for Parents You don't have to manufacture your child's faith or rush God's work in their heart. Keep making your home a place where Jesus is loved, the gospel is talked about, repentance is modeled, and God's Word is treasured. Pray for wisdom. Watch for God's grace. Walk alongside your local church. And trust the Holy Spirit to do what only He can do.
