“FOR THE PERFECTING OF THE SAINTS”

WEEK 40: SUMMARY

Paul's message to the Ephesians was filled with hope. He saw their steady progress as Gentile converts and hoped to take them further by teaching them about God's plan, the power of Prophets and Apostles, strengthening the inner man, and putting on the whole armor of God.

Next, we'll create delicious caramel apples to talk about Paul's invitation to come closer to God in small, doable steps. Finally, we'll study the pieces of God's armor in a fast-paced dice game.

“WALK IN THE SPIRIT”

September 25 – October 1

WEEK 39: SUMMARY

The Galatians were struggling to understand salvation. Paul had taught them to look to Christ but others came in and distorted his teachings. They taught a need for the Law of Moses and focused on the works of the law. Paul wrote this epistle to counter their teachings and point the young saints in Galatia back to the truth of the gospel.

On the creative side, we'll guard against personal apostasy by testing our scripture skills in a Quarter 3 Kahoot challenge. Next, we'll make invisible ink appear bold and bright while we talk about how revelation comes to prophets and apostles. Finally, we'll create adorable low-poly fruit while we chat about personal revelation and the fruit of the Spirit.

“Ye Are the Body of Christ”

August 28 – September 3

The Savior taught, "I say unto you, be one, and if ye are not one ye are not mine." Paul taught that same message to the Saints in Corinth.

“Be Perfectly Joined Together”

August 21 – August 27

Paul is worried about the Saints in Corinth. It's been a few years since he spent 18 months teaching them and many are drifting in their testimonies. This week we'll study some of his guidance to help them set aside pride and sin and align themselves more closely with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

We'll get adventurous on the creative side of week 34. We'll talk about using weak things to manifest God's power with DIY Lava Lamp. Next, we'll create our own "puffed up" balloons to show the risks of being prideful. Finally, we'll sample delicious cream cheese mints to talk about the risks of allowing small sins to linger. It should be a fantastic week!

“A Minister and a Witness”

July 31 – August 6

We're covering the last 7 chapters of Acts and diving into Paul's life story - both before and after that pivotal day on the Road to Damascus. We'll read his testimony to the Jews on the street, the council of the Sanhedrin, Roman rulers, a storm-soaked ship, and ultimately King Agrippa's court.

On the creative side, we’ll tap into our Religious Liberty by using an important Gospel Library App area. Next we'll play a pattern game to help us understand being a minister and a witness. Finally, we'll create our own venomous vipers to help retell the miraculous story of Paul's visit to Malta.
