Main Focus: God's Spirit Unifies 

Ascension and Gift of the Holy Spirit

(Acts 1:1-11; 2)

Anticipate: Magnets

When you love Jesus you can’t help but be “attracted” to the nudging of the Holy Spirit. Just like anything with iron is attracted to a magnet. It’s a comfort to know that we automatically have the attention of the comforter (what Jesus calls the Holy Spirit) to help us because we have given our lives to Christ.

Game: Body Mash Up

Memory Verse: 

" But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."--Acts 1:8

After Jesus ascended into heaven, He sent His promised Holy Spirit.  As the Holy Spirit came the new believers joined as one and modeled God’s love for one another. It gave them the power to be unified in their love for one another. The gift of the Holy Spirit helps us live for Jesus in
our day to day lives. It helps us encourage one another and show God’s love to each other especially for those who also know God. Because of the Holy Spirit we can follow the command Jesus gave to His followers to
“love one another as He had loved them” (John 13:34-35)

Respond: Encouraging the Body

It’s really easy to find bad things about people or to notice when others make mistakes. Part of loving one another is trying to see other Christians through God’s eyes and to encourage them about that person the Holy Spirit is helping them become. God wants us to see the good in each other so today we are going to give encouraging words to one another.

Bless: 

Psalm 25:5 Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

May our children's understanding of God’s truth grow more and more, and may His truth lead them in every area of their lives.
