Children's Ministry Lesson for April 18

There will be classes for all our kids at Gospel Life Church this Sunday.

• Tots (ages 1-3) will be in the Tots room
• Tykes & Kids (ages 4-8) will be outside, weather permitting, please have your child wear close toed shoes and bring a light jacket
• Students (ages 9-11) will be downstairs

And now for this week's lesson...

This upcoming Sunday your child will learn about:  Paul's First Journey
Story Point:  Many people rejected the good news about Jesus, but God had a plan for Paul to share the gospel with Gentiles, no matter what troubles Paul faced. Many believed in Jesus. The church grew and the gospel spread so that people all over the world could be saved from their sin by trusting in Jesus.
Family Bible Reading:  Matthew 28:19-20
Big Picture Question:  What is our mission as Christians?
Big Picture Answer:  Our mission is to make disciples of all nations by the power of the Holy Spirit

Jesus’ followers preached the gospel in Jerusalem, and the good news spread to places like Judea and Samaria. More and more people believed, and new churches began as both Jews and Gentiles began to follow Jesus.
The Holy Spirit sent Paul and Barnabas to tell Jews and Gentiles about Jesus. If Paul had not taken the gospel to the Gentiles, many of us would probably not be believers today. God uses people to tell others about Jesus so that people all over the world can be saved.
