Happy Sunday! Thanks for checking out the online resources for this Sunday. Here you will find a video lesson as well as some activities to do as a family.
Elementary
Determination: deciding it's worth it to finish what you started.
Key Truth: God gives you what you need to keep going!
Memory Verse: "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." (Galatians 6:9)
1. Watch the video https://bit.ly/3bbZV4V. Select Elementary or 4th-5th can watch the Preteen video.
2. Read the story from the Bible: Acts 2:1-47. Review questions: 1. What did Jesus ask the disciples to do? How was He going to help them do this?
3. Lesson Activity: With an adult, turn off all the lights in your house and find a penny, a piece of string, your favorite stuffed animal, and a matching pair of socks. That sounds impossible right? Well, if you grabbed a flashlight then you could do it. That’s like what Jesus did for His disciples. He gave them a flashlight, the Holy Spirit, to help them! Know that God will give you whatever you need to do what He asks you to do!
4. Use this prayer as a guide: “Dear God, when something is really hard and we want to give up, please give us what we need to keep going. We know that there’s a lot we can’t do on our own, but You want to help us have determination. When we get discouraged, please encourage us with Your Spirit. And when the people we love get discouraged, help us to know how to encourage them to keep going, too. Thank You that You’ve never and WILL never give up on us! In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.”
