THE CHURCH HANDLED A PROBLEM: Acts 6
TALK ABOUT IT
1.What was your favorite part of the video we just watched?
2.Have you learned anything about God that surprises you?
3.What job does God give all believers?
Prompt kids to think about Jesus’ command in Matthew 28:19-20. Remind kids that Jesus commanded all of His followers to share the gospel and make disciples. Encourage kids to think of people they can share the good news with this week. Invite kids to discuss how they can share the gospel with people they know.
4.Are some people’s jobs in the church more important than others? Why not?
Tell kids that some people may have jobs that might make them more front-and-center like preaching or leading worship, but no job is more important than another. Discuss how God gives us all jobs that are needed and are used to serve the church. Tell kids that each job is a way to love others and love God.
5.How do we, as Christians, serve people differently than those who are not Christians?
Discuss how any person, believers or unbelievers, can serve other people and help others. Point out that when believers serve, we want to help others and point them to Jesus. Remind kids that serving and meeting people’s needs is a way to demonstrate the gospel, but we also want to speak the truth of the gospel as well. Challenge kids to think about how they can serve others this week while also sharing the good news of Jesus.

Elementary Family Actions:
Helpful Deeds
Invite kids to brainstorm ways they could meet needs in their home, church, or
community. For example, kids may notice a classmate who is often left out and needs
a friend or how they could help pick up trash they see littered in their community.
Share a need you may have noticed and how you can find a solution to the problem.
Encourage kids to put their words into actions this week as they pay attention to
the needs of those around them and seek to meet those needs. Remind kids that while
we serve others in deed, we can also share the gospel with them.
Say: “Every person has many needs and every person has opportunities to meet the
needs of others. Oftentimes, we need to be more aware of the ways God may be calling us to help others and use the gifts He’s given us to serve them. Today, we will learn how people in the early church noticed a need and found a way to meet the need while allowing each person to use the gifts God had given them.”
