Acts 16:16-39

On day two the kids will see our athletes talking about the importance of working with others. We will also see Paul invite others on his road to following Jesus.

Paul’s journey has begun. After he meets Jesus on the road to Damascus his life race is changed forever.  When he once hated Jesus, his heart is now filled with love for his savior. Instead of trying to diminish Christian growth, he is now helping the church grow!

On the road to following Jesus, Paul is inviting others to join him. The race that Paul talked about in our memory verse (Acts 20:24) is sharing the message with others of God’s grace.

Take some time to read today’s passage, its a little heavy; a young girl is filled with an evil spirit that speaks against Paul and his friends, Paul and Silas get thrown in prison for helping her and for telling their story of God sending Jesus to rescue them, during the night the prison breaks open, and then the guard is invited to join Paul on the road to following Jesus.

Review yesterdays story:

Before Paul meets Jesus on the road to Damascus how does he view the purpose of his life?________________________________________________________

After Paul meets Jesus how does he change both physically and spiritually?___________________________________________________

In today’s story we see that Paul even wants to invite others with him and together join in the race!

Think of a time you have shared the story of God sending Jesus to rescue you from your brokenness.
