GOD SENDS PHILIP TO AN ETHIOPIAN
Main Point: The Holy Spirit gives us direction.
Summary: An angel tells Philip to head south on a road. As Philip does, he sees an Ethiopian man in a carriage. The Holy Spirit tells him to walk beside the carriage, and Philip gets tot tell the Ethiopian about Jesus. Later, the Holy Spirit snatches Philip away and puts him in a new spot. The Holy Spirit gives us direction, too.
Supplies Needed: large bowl of water, sewing needle, magnet, small foam circle
Family Dinner Discussion: What’s an area of your life in which you need more direction?
Continue the lesson throughout the week:
- Whenever you’re out with your family, ask the Holy Spirit to show you people who need help.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to show you how you can help the people you see. It might be buying a meal at a fast food restaurant, giving them a kind word, or something else.
- Have family members share what direction the Holy Spirit is giving them, and then follow his leading together.
