New Believers in Christ — The First Church

by Leave a comment

Jesus commissioned his disciples to tell others the good news of salvation. They did not do this alone. They waited for the gift Jesus promised, the Holy Spirit, who enabled them to speak in many languages, do miracles in Jesus’ name, and gave them courage, wisdom, and unity. More and more believed in Jesus and accepted Him as their Savior every day! The following PowerPoint presentations tell their story and teach how we too can be witnesses for Jesus.

Pentecost, A promise kept, and a New Covenant — Acts 2

50 days after Israel was set free from Egypt, God met them at Mt. Sinai. He reminded them how He had cared for them and told them that He had chosen them to be a kingdom of priests. They were to tell others about God. God made a covenant with them and gave them the 10 Commandments. After Jesus died and rose again, He appeared to the disciples over 40 days, then He ascended to heaven. 50 days after He rose again, it was Pentecost. God sent the Holy Spirit on that very day. The Holy Spirit guides us, teaches us the truth, and empowers us to tell others about God. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace patience, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The presentation includes an object lesson about the Fruit of the Spirit and a craft.

The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost — Reader’s Theater

Unity in the First Church — Acts 2

The lesson story is short, but the message is huge. The number of those who believed in Jesus’ resurrection and the message of the gospel grew and grew! We call this the first church. There was unity amongst them. They took care of each other and praised God together. This is a lesson in unity, working together, and sharing. We practice sharing, work on collecting items for a food bank, and learn how ants, too, work together.

The Apostles put in Prison Acts 5

This is just a short presentation of Acts 5. The kids had fun acting out the story. We were in the middle of JAMII KINGDOM VBS for campmeeting. We followed up this presentation with Day 4. You can too, here is the You Tube link.

Be my Witnesses — Acts 1

Luke witnessed Jesus alive here on earth. He wrote down the stories for us to read in the books of Luke and Acts. We too see God working about us, even tho we can’t see Him. We see lives changed. We see people get well. We can be God’s witnesses too.

I enjoy planning lessons, directing VBS and child care programs. Children's ministry is my passion. God Almighty is my strength and inspiration. For fun I choose hiking, canoeing, camping, cooking, and reading.
