TALK ABOUT IT
Paul Shipwrecked – Acts 27–28:10
TALK ABOUT IT
- What was your favorite part of the video we just watched?
- Have you learned anything about God that surprises you?
- What happened to Paul? Who did he always put his trust in?
- Who are some people that you trust? How is trusting them different than trusting Jesus? How is it the same?
Elementary Family Actions:
Prayer Bottle
WHAT YOU NEED: Clear plastic bottles with lids, blue paper, and markers
WHAT YOU DO: Give each kid a plastic bottle and three strips of blue paper. Tell the kids that the blue paper is like the water in the stormy sea from our Bible Story. Ask them to think about something that makes them feel scared or worried—like a storm in their life. Help them draw a picture of that worry on a blue strip of paper. Instruct the kids to roll up their “worry” papers and put them inside their bottles. Secure the lids. Let them shake their bottles and watch their worries tumble around in the “storm.”
WHAT YOU SAY: “Sometimes our worries can feel like they’re tumbling all around inside
of us, just like in these bottles. But Paul’s story reminds us that even in a big storm, God is in control. We can give our worries to Him. So what does it look like not to give up on God? When you feel like it’s just too hard and you don’t see what God’s up to, choose to talk to God anyway. Tell Him how you feel. You can say, ‘God, this is tough. I don’t get it! I really need Your help right now.’ God has promised to make everything right in the end, even if we don’t get to see that right away. And He will go with you through every hard thing you face. So, call out to Him when you need help, and trust that He is with you in the storm. Don’t give up on God when bad things happen.”
