May 1 & 4 | We Are Part of One Church
READ: 1 Corinthians 12
DISCUSS: One of Africa’s most incredible animals is the Cape Buffalo. One interesting fact about the Cape Buffalo is how they protect one another when danger threatens the herd. The Cape Buffalo will come together to form one large circle. They place the calves and weaker members of the herd inside the circle, and the other members of the herd face outward to fight off whatever predator is coming their way. It’s a great picture of working together to save lives!
When Paul heard about the arguing and fighting between the believers in Corinth, he wrote a letter to give them instructions and encouragement to live as followers of Jesus. Paul urged the people to live as people who were forgiven and accepted in Christ. Paul reminded them that their hope in Jesus should unite and not divide.
As believers live and work together in unity, the people around them can see what it means to worship and follow Jesus. Much like the Cape Buffalo coming together in the circle, all believers can work together to share message of Jesus—and that is the message that truly saves lives!
Christ Connection: Paul told the believers in the Corinthian church to come together because of the gospel. He reminded them that Jesus saves sinners. Because of Jesus and what He has done, believers from every nation, tribe, people, and language can humbly come together as one body—the church.

May 8 & 11 | Paul Became a Christian
READ: Acts 9:1-30
DISCUSS: On his 30th birthday, Dean Karnazes decided to go for a nighttime jog. Without training or a plan, Dean continued to run until the sun came up and realized he had run over 30 miles! Dean found a new life as a runner. He went on to run a marathon in all 50 states—and did it in just 50 days! Dean described that nighttime jog as a life-changing moment.
Dean’s life-changing moment is nothing compared to the life change that happened when Paul met Jesus! Paul was against the followers of Jesus, and he tried to do everything he could to stop the message of Jesus from spreading. Then, Jesus stopped Paul on the road to Damascus and changed him.
After Jesus appeared to him, Paul lived with a different purpose. Instead of trying to stop the message of Jesus, Paul stood in the city and told everyone that Jesus is the Son of God! Paul went on to share the good news of the gospel with many people. Everyone was amazed by the change Jesus made on Paul’s life.
When we believe in Jesus, our lives are forever changed. First, we are made right with God and enjoy the promise of eternal life with Him. Second, we are given the power and opportunity to tell others about Jesus. Knowing Jesus truly is life-changing!
Christ Connection: Jesus appeared to Saul and changed him inside and out. Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. (1 Timothy 1:15) Jesus called Saul, who was once an enemy to Christians, to spend the rest of his life telling people the gospel and leading them to trust in Jesus.

May 15 & 18 | Paul Became a Missionary
READ: Acts 13–14
DISCUSS: As British troops prepared to attack, Paul Revere took a famous horse ride through the night to alert American soldiers in nearby towns. The warnings from Revere and other riders helped to save many lives from the coming danger. Paul Revere became a hero of the Revolutionary War because he willingly risked his life to spread this important news.
Paul Revere had important news, but the Apostle Paul had the greatest news! In the book of Acts, we see Paul risking his life to share the good news about Jesus with many people throughout many different cities. Paul faced danger and opposition, but he knew God wanted him to share this good news because it truly saves lives!
The mission wasn’t easy, but Paul knew that God had called him to share Jesus with others. As Paul shared the message of the gospel, many people believed in Jesus! God uses people to share the good news about Jesus with you, and He wants to use you to share the good news with others.
Christ Connection: God had a plan for Paul to share the gospel with Gentiles, no matter what troubles he faced. Many believed in Jesus. The church grew and the gospel spread so that people all over the world could be saved from their sins by trusting in Jesus.

May 22 & 25 | Jesus Can Forgive Anyone
READ: 2 Corinthians 5
DISCUSS: Have you ever borrowed something from a friend or family member? Maybe a toy, a book, or even some money? When we borrow something, we must give it back, right? That’s what a debt is: something we owe someone else.
But did you know that we all have a debt we can’t pay back on our own? It’s the debt of sin. Sin is anything we do that goes against what God wants us to do. The Bible says that the wages of sin—what must be paid—is death. That means that because of our sin, we deserve to be separated from God forever. But here’s the good news: Jesus paid our debts!
Jesus’ perfect life and sacrifice on the cross has made us right with God. He has paid the debt we owe and given us credit for His righteousness. So, the next time you borrow something or owe someone a debt, remember that Jesus paid our debts too—the biggest debt of all. And because of Him, we can have new life and hope in Him forever.
Christ Connection: Jesus can forgive anyone. When we trust in Jesus, God forgives our sin and invites us into His family. He calls us to tell others about Him so they might believe in Jesus and be saved.

LEARN: "For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." - John 3:17
PRAY: Jesus, we praise You because You paid the debt of our sins and You rose again to provide eternal life for all who believe in You. We know that all hope and joy are found in You! Amen.
