Elementary Curriculum

April 3 & 6 | Peter Performed Miracles

READ: Acts 9:31-43

DISCUSS: If you could have any superpower, which would you choose? Gaming experts report that the top three superpowers are flight, invisibility, and super strength. Most of us would agree that the greatest superpower is the one that makes every vegetable taste like ice cream!

The Holy Spirit filled the disciples with supernatural power. With the power of the Holy Spirit, Peter healed a man who couldn’t walk and raised Dorcas from her death bed! People from all over the city heard of these miracles, and many of them believed in Jesus because they saw His power through the disciples.

Jesus had given the disciples a mission, and the Holy Spirit supplied the power to fulfill that mission. The disciples received power better than the ability to fly or have super strength. They received the power to do God’s will and boldly share the gospel to the world! This same power is available to all who believe in Jesus as Lord!

Christ Connection: When the Holy Spirit gave Peter power to perform miracles, people saw what happened and believed in Jesus. These miracles remind us of Jesus’ miracles, which proved He is the Son of God who came to bring salvation to the world.

April 10 & 13 | Peter Learned that Jesus is for All

READ: Acts 10:1-43

DISCUSS: On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson became the first African American player in Major League Baseball. Until that day, the game was restricted to white players only. This rule that kept people from playing because of their skin color was unkind and unfair. By taking the field that day, Jackie Robinson showed the world that anyone could play baseball.

In this week’s Bible story, God used a vision to show Peter that the good news of Jesus is for everyone! Peter learned that God does not show favoritism to some people over others. When Peter preached the gospel to those at Cornelius’ house, the Holy Spirit helped both Jews and Gentiles to believe in Jesus and be baptized. God’s love is big enough for all people, and the sacrifice of Jesus is great enough to forgive the sins of anyone who believes in Him!

God wants everyone to hear the good news about Jesus! It should never be limited to only certain people. Like baseball is a game that everyone should be able to enjoy, the good news about Jesus is news that everyone needs to hear!

Christ Connection: God showed Peter that just as there is no “clean” and “unclean” food in Christ, there are no “clean” and “unclean” people. God calls believers to tell everyone the good news about Jesus, no matter who they are or where they come from. Jesus is the Lord of all.

LEARN: "Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ." - 1 Corinthians 12:12

PRAY: God, thank you for loving all people and sending Jesus to save anyone who believes in Him! Help us to love others because You love them and give us opportunities to tell them the good news about Jesus! Amen.

April 17, 19 & 20 | The Gospel is for Everyone

READ: Matthew 27-28; Mark 14-16; Luke 22-24; John 18-20

DISCUSS: Jesus was sent to live on Earth and teach people about God's love. He performed miracles, like healing the sick and helping the poor. Many people loved Him, but some leaders didn’t like what He was teaching because it was different from what they believed.

One day, Jesus was arrested and put on trial. He was found guilty even though He had done nothing wrong. The soldiers took Jesus, and He was nailed to a cross to die. This made His friends and followers very sad. They believed that Jesus was God's Son, and they couldn't understand why this was happening.

After Jesus died, He was placed in a tomb, which is like a small cave. A big stone was rolled in front of the entrance, and the tomb was sealed. But three days later, something amazing happened! Some women who loved Jesus went to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away. The tomb was empty!

An angel told them, "Jesus is not here; He has risen!" This means Jesus came back to life. He showed Himself to His friends and followers, and they were filled with joy and excitement! Jesus had defeated death, which meant that everyone who believes in Him can have eternal life.

This is why Christians celebrate Easter—because it's the day Jesus rose from the dead and showed how powerful God's love is. It’s a time to remember the joy of new life and the hope that comes from Jesus’ resurrection! This is GREAT NEWS! This GREAT NEWS is for ALL people, everywhere!

Christ Connection: Even though some people tried to stop it, the gospel spread throughout the earth—not only to Jews but also to Gentiles. The good news about Jesus is for everyone. God calls us to celebrate when others believe and help them know and love Jesus more.

April 24 & 27 | Peter Was Rescued from Prison

READ: Acts 12:1-19

DISCUSS: Peter’s life is a great reminder that all things are possible with God! Just think about it…Peter walked on water, he preached the good news and thousands believed at Pentecost, he healed a man at the temple. All of this was impossible for Peter, but it was possible with God!

In this week’s Bible story, we heard how God freed Peter from prison without the guards even noticing! Many believers gathered to pray and ask God to help Peter. While they were praying, the chains fell off Peter’s wrists and he walked right out of the prison gates! When Peter arrived at the house where the people had gathered, they didn’t believe it was possible, but with God all things are possible!

God invites us to use prayer as our way to thank Him, praise Him, and let him know our needs. God cares for all His people, and they can always trust that God hears their prayers. Even when it seems impossible to us, if it’s part of His will, it is always possible for God!

Christ Connection: God answered the people’s prayers for Peter. God had a plan for Peter and the church, and He rescued Peter from his enemies. Peter knew he would face death because he believed in Jesus, but he kept going so he could share the good news of the gospel.

PRAY: God, thank You for always hearing our prayers! Help us to know that You are good and always in control. When things seem impossible, help us to remember that all things are possible for You. Amen.
