Phillip and the Ethiopian

Day 1- 01 THE STORY

There was a guy, named Saul, who did not like Jesus, and He did not like those who followed Jesus. He would try to hurt them for sharing the gospel. The good news is that God changed Saul and even changed his name to Paul.
Read Acts 26:9-11
What were all the mean things that Paul did to Christians before he became a Christian?

Day 2- 02 THE WITNESS

Paul had a life-changing trip. He actually got to see and talk to Jesus! Read about it here.
Acts 26:12-18
What did Paul see while he was traveling?
Did Jesus know what Paul was doing to people?
Did God want Paul to preach the gospel to people?
Paul didn’t like God, but God gave him a second chance. Paul believed and started sharing Jesus with others!

Day 3- 03 THE SOURCE

It seems crazy that God would want Paul to tell others about Him. Paul was a mean man and didn’t do what was right. The greatest thing about God is that He will forgive you…no matter what you have done. God gives you grace (forgiveness!). You don’t deserve to have a relationship with Him, but He wants to have one with you!
Read Ephesians 1:7
Does God tell you He will forgive your sin?

Day 4- 04 THE MOTIVE

God loves you and wants good things for you. Paul was doing bad things, but God had good things for Him to do instead. God’s way is always better.
Read Jeremiah 29:11 and write it out.

Day 5- 05 CAUGHT IN THE ACT

Think about how God has changed your life. Spend some time today writing a few ways God has changed you!

Write down on your character sheet what you learned from the story of Paul.

I PROMISE YOU

God can change anyone! It doesn’t matter who you are or what you have done… God can change you. God gives us a great example in His creation… a butterfly! A caterpillar changes into a butterfly! It seems impossible that a butterfly can look so different than it once did, but that’s how God works. Color this picture of the butterfly to remind you of how God can change you for good!
