1 Week of July 24, 2011 Lessons for the Leader Paul and Barnabas worshiped through telling others about Jesus. How will you lead worship today? Tell the children the exciting news of Jesus. Read Acts 13:1-3. The five men called prophets and teachers were worshiping God and fasting. The men may have been praying for fellow believers or they may have been praying that God would call people to spread the gospel. God told the men to send Saul and Barnabas to spread the gospel. The church fasted and prayed to make sure God's will was done. These believers were not careless; they wanted to be certain God's will was done. Too often we act hastily in making decisions about spiritual things. Read Acts 14:1-3, God used Paul (Saul) and Barnabas to reach many Jews and Gentiles with the gospel in Iconium. However, Paul and Barnabas also encountered opposition. The men faced many people who disagreed with them concerning the message they preached. Paul and Barnabas used the beliefs and understandings of these individuals as starting points to share about Jesus. Are you discouraged about your worship leadership or other ministry? Renew your commitment to His call where He has placed you. Notice how God affirmed Paul and Barnabas' ministry by allowing them to bear fruit. He also assured them of His presence through the miracles God performed through Paul and Barnabas. God blesses those who are diligent in His service regardless of the hardships. Read Acts 14: Paul and Barnabas left many leaders to continue what they started. The men returned to Antioch and gathered the church people together to tell what God did through them. What has God done for or through you? What do these symbols mean? 1a Application Activities Format: Follow the numbers with arrows for a 30-minute, large group plus 20-minute Application Activities format. 1 Large Group Only Format: Follow all the numbers for a 45- to 60-minute large group only format.

Paul and Barnabas traveled to many places and taught about Jesus. In one town, the men went into a synagogue and listened to someone read from the Bible scroll.

During the week, people followed Paul and Barnabas. The people wanted to learn more about Jesus. The next week a large crowd of people came to the synagogue to hear the men teach. Some of the leaders did not want Paul and Barnabas to talk to the crowd of people. The leaders said unkind things about Paul and Barnabas. Paul and Barnabas said, "We will tell everyone about Jesus. God wants all people to know that He sent His Son, Jesus." Some people were happy to hear about Jesus. The men told people the good news about Jesus. The same thing happened in another town.

The person frozen answers 'about Jesus' and is unfrozen." d Buddy Tag Explain: "Everyone get a buddy. Buddies will move around the room trying not to be tagged. The buddies who are It can both tag people. You must keep your arms locked together at all times. When tagged, the team must stand frozen.
