Teaching Truth

  • Jesus has the power to change lives because He is God.

  • When Jesus changes our lives, we want to tell others about Him.

Questions to Ask Your Child

  • Did Saul treat followers of Jesus kindly?

  • How did Jesus appear to Saul?

  • What became Paul’s new job?

Family Activity

Cut a large heart out of paper. Have your child make the heart look dirty by scribbling on one side or gluing some dirt. Turn it over and on the “clean” side, have your child draw or glue on some eyes that are open. Talk about how the dirty side is a picture of Saul’s heart before he asked God to forgive him. Then turn it over and explain that when God forgave Paul, his heart was made clean and his eyes were opened.

Wrap-Up

With each lesson, help your child apply what they have learned by asking, “What do you think God wants us to learn from this story?” If you get stuck with finding the answer, refer to the weekly Teaching Truths.
