4 PRE-SESSION, Younger Child LIFE OF PAUL #2 Faithful Stephen But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you.... Matthew 5:44 Copyright 1996 Communication Resources, Inc.

5 MEMORY VERSE HELPS MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 5:44 LIFE OF PAUL #2 The Stoning of Stephen But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them.... (The underlined portion of the verse indicates what the younger children should memorize. See Involvement Helps for Younger Children for helps in teaching the verse to the younger children.) INTRODUCE THE VERSE: When someone treats you wrong, or hurts you, or says something mean or unkind to you, the natural thing to do is to get mad or even. But, the Bible verse for today gives a better way. READ THE VERSE: Read the verse from the Bible or have an older child read it; then have all the children read with you from the verse visual. EXPLAIN THE VERSE: Matthew 5:44 This is where this verse is found in the Bible. We call it the address. It is found in the book of Matthew, chapter 5, verse 44. The dots at the end of the verse mean there is more to this verse that we are not going to memorize. But I say unto you, Jesus was speaking to His people, the Jews, and also to those who know Him as their Saviour. love your enemies, It is easy to love those who love us, but we are to love those who don't like us and are unkind to us. bless them that curse you, We are to speak well of those who speak evil about us. When we talk to these people, we should speak kindly, not answering back in anger. do good to them that hate you, We should always be ready to do something to show kindness to those who hate us. and pray for them.... Jesus prayed for those who mistreated Him, and that is exactly what He wants us to do. REPEAT THE VERSE: Ping Pong After reading the verse from your Bible, explaining what it means, and repeating it at least two times, you may begin this drill. Divide the class into two teams. Each team says one word as you point to them. This can also be done between two people. If they miss a word, another child is chosen as a replacement. You can repeat this several times.

6 INVOLVEMENT HELPS FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN by Linda D. Ruth MEMORY VERSE: Shortened verse LIFE OF PAUL #2 The Stoning of Stephen Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you.... Sing to the tune of It s a Small World. Stay on say and on love for two pitches each. Put up a finger as you sing each of the three commands. BIBLE LESSON HELPS: Throughout Card 2-1 Card 2-3 Card 2-4 Card 2-5 The Main Thrust statement is It is God the Holy Spirit who will help you love your enemies. Each time you use this, at love, have children move hands to make a heart shape. At enemies, children make a fist. Have one child stand as Peter and boldly announce, By the name of Jesus Christ. Rest of group as Jewish rulers, rise and shake fists in anger, saying to one another, We must do something! Give several children, one at a time, the opportunity to repeat the name Gamaliel. Choose seven children. Put your hand on each head as you say each child s name. Count them. The seven then pass out food to others. Everyone, being Stephen, stands calmly, looks upward and says together, I see Heaven and the Son of Man with God. Have one child stand as Saul. Several others pretend to take off coat and place it at his feet, saying, Here, watch my coat for me. They pick up a stone and throw it. BIBLE LEARNING GAME: (adapted from London Bridge ) Choose two children to be the bridge as in London Bridge. Children form a line and keep walking under bridge while everyone sings to London Bridge tune: God wants you to love your enemies, Love your enemies, love your enemies. God wants you to love your enemies. He will help you. Bridge falls. Ask caught child, How do we know God wants you to love your enemies? Let s help (child s name) say the verse from God s Word. Everyone repeats today s memory verse together. Caught child then exchanges places with a child who was a part of the bridge. Repeat several times. CHILD EVANGELISM FELLOWSHIP OF EASTERN PA, INC.

7 LEARNING ABOUT THE BIBLE & THE OLD TESTAMENT BOOKS WEEK #18 (Place figure #1.) Before starting today, we need to review the first six books of the Minor Prophets: Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah. (Place figures #39 and #40.) Today, we are going to learn a little about the books of Nahum and Habakkuk. (Place Nahum wordstrip.) About 150 years after Jonah was there, the city of Nineveh had returned to doing sinful things. God used Nahum to predict the coming destruction of this city. This time there would be no mercy for them. (Place Habakkuk wordstrip.) Habakkuk is the next book of the Minor Prophets. He predicted the coming invasion and capture of Judah, the two southern tribes of Israel, by Babylon. He also wondered why God allowed a wicked nation such as Babylon to do such a terrible thing. Let s say the names of Nahum and Habakkuk twice. Now let s repeat the first eight books of the Minor Prophets: Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk.

8 GO AND TELL BOX Week #19 Great Commission #1 INFORMATION PRAYER (Suggested item to put in the Go and Tell Box word GO.) What do you think this word has to do with going and telling? (Let the children share their ideas.) GO Just before the Lord Jesus went back to Heaven, He said some important words to His disciples,... Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature (person) Mark 16:15. We call these words the Great Commission, which is God s c o mmand to share the Gospel of Christ with every person. God loves each person in the world, and He wants everyone to hear about His Son, so they can have the opportunity to receive Jesus as their Saviour. Christians have been telling others the Good News about Jesus for almost 2,000 years, but are we reaching every person? Today, the total world population is over seven billion. That s the number 7 with nine zeros after it. Seven billion is a lot of people. Let s begin by thinking about America where we live. There are about 325 million people in America. You and I know some of those people who do not understand that Jesus came to be their Saviour from sin. They may be a neighbor, a friend you play with, or someone in your family. You can share with them the things you learn in Good News Club (Released Time Class) so that they can learn about Jesus. Perhaps you can invite them to come with you next week. Adapted from: THE GREAT COMMISSION MISSIONS (Original content from William Carey Library) THANK God for sending Jesus to be your Saviour. ASK God to help you to be willing to tell those you know how Jesus can be their Saviour. NOTE: It would be good to have permission slips for club for those who want to invite a friend or a tract they can share with their friend. CHILD EVANGELISM FELLOWSHIP OF EASTERN PA, INC. P.O.
