Paul’s Ministry

Hey parents! Use these questions as a guide to talk over this week’s Bible story called Paul’s Ministry with your child after they’ve watched this week’s Church at Home elementary video. And remember the Big Idea:God made me for great things.

1. What was your favorite part of the video we just watched?
2. What are some great things Paul did for Jesus?
   When Paul learned how great Jesus is, he couldn’t help but tell people about it. He did that by visiting other cities, preaching to large groups, and writing letters to people about Jesus. God is still using him to help people know and love Jesus through his letters in the Bible we can read today.
3. Why did God make you?
   Because he loves you. You are the only you and there is no one else that has ever existed or will exist who will be like you. God made you to do great things that only you can do.
4. What are some ways you can do great things for God?
   Any good thing you can do so show someone God’s love is a great thing! You can give food, clothes, or toys to people who need them. Pray for people. Help someone who is hurt by getting a Band-Aid or an adult to help. Do something kind for a neighbor to show you care. Help a friend who is struggling with homework that you understand.
5. Talk together about your child’s unique SHAPE. Use this list and descriptions to help your child discover some of the amazing qualities that God gave them.
   Spiritual Gifts: an extra something that we get when we become a Christian to help us share the good news about Jesus. Some examples: teaching, preaching, encouragement, wisdom, and more.

   Abilities: Things you are good at or are talented in like baking, math, or making people feel welcome and comfortable.
   Personality: Some people are naturally more happy and cheerful. Other people may be serious, shy, funny, friendly, and there are so many more personalities.
