Acts Ch. 9

This chapter of Acts is a defining moment in the spreading of the Gospel. Saul, the persecutor of Christians, goes blind by God's grace to teach Saul a lesson. Saul is then lead by his friends to Damascus. He is blind for 3 days and nights before Ananias comes to pray with him and bring forth the Holy Spirit. Ananias was lead by Jesus in a dream. Saul immediately becomes baptised and starts proclaiming the name of Christ. Christians are scared of him and the Jews wanted to kill him. Saul finds himself in the middle of two worlds. It's a good thing Barnabas is around to help Saul find his way.

We are having FCA this week 11/19/10

There is a family breakfast this Friday 11/19/10, but this will not stop FCA from meeting. This breakfast is fantastic, but it's not as popular as donuts with dad, or muffins with mom, so we will continue to have FCA. I understand if you can't make it because you will be attending this breakfast. FCA will be meeting in my room this Friday.

Acts Ch 8

It takes 7 chapter, or a long period of time for the apostles to realize that Jesus meant what he said. Acts 1:8 you will be my witness in Jerusalem, in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. It takes Stephan's death to jump start the gospel.
Paul is on the move in this chapter. He ravages the Christian people, placing them in jail. Most of the Christian followers leave town, while the apostles stand their ground.
Philip, one who left Jerusalem, began spreading the Good News in the city of Samaria. He was healing the sick and lame. This had a huge impact on the spreading of the Church.
An Angel of the Lord spoke to Philip. He said to go to Gaza. Philip finds an Ethiopian in need of translation. Philip helps and baptizes him. The Gospel is on the move!!!!!!!

1. Why do you think the Christian people left Jerusalem?
2. Would you have left Jerusalem?
3. If you didn't know Jesus and you saw someone healing the sick and lame, would you join them?
4. Do you think Philip is brave?
5. Can you share your faith like Philip?
6. The Lord speaks to Philip. Will you listen when the Lord calls upon you?
7. What do you think the Ethiopian man did next?
8. How can you become an Acts 1:8 kid?
