Go Obey!!!The apostles obey by taking a stand for Jesus (Acts 5:17-32)
Bible Memory: Joshua 1:9
Dear Parent or Guardian,
Your child learned the story of the apostles taking a stand for Jesus in the temple. It is the perfect example of obeying God rather than men. Kids also learned that obeying God is the most important thing a person can do.
In response to today's Bible Story, the kids were encouraging to obey God, their parents, and rules. You can reinforce the "Go Obey" concept of this session by reminding your child that praying for help from God will help child learn to obey. Watch for times during the day when your child has obeyed a command or rule you have given her. Praise her for doing so. If your child is having trouble obeying, remind kids to pray about their obedience.
Ask your child;
- Before Jesus went back to Heaven, what did He tell His followers to do? (tell everyone about Him)
- Why was that command hard for the followers to obey? (Some followers were thrown into prision for telling about Jesus)
- Why did they keep telling about Jesus even when they knew they might be thrown into prison? (answers will vary)
- While they were in prison, what did God command the followers to do? (get back out there and tell others about Jesus)
- How did the followers obey God's command? (by going back out and teaching people about Jesus, even when they knew they might be arrested again)
