JESUS SENDS THE HOLY SPIRIT
Main Point: The Holy Spirit gives us power!
Summary: Jesus’ followers are meeting together when all of a sudden, a sound like a mighty windstorm fills their meeting room! Then flames appear over their heads. After that, the Holy Spirit gives everyone the ability to speak in other languages. People from a lot of countries come and hear about Jesus in their own language. The Holy Spirit gives us power today, too!

Continue the lesson throughout the week: Take a “power inventory” of your home.
- Guess how many things in your home use power. Write down each person’s guess
- Go to each room together and count everything that needs power. Don’t forget battery-operated items!
- See who had the closest guess.
- Unplug or turn off as many of the items as you can. (Leave the refrigerator plugged in!)
- With your home using very little power, sit and talk about which devices are your favorites.
- Talk about why electric power is important in your daily life.
- Talk about in what ways you each need power from the Holy Spirit.
