SHARE PICS OF YOUR CHILDREN IN WORSHIP
Tag: #goodhopehtx or Email: [email protected]
Welcome to iHOPE KIDS! As we affirm that “nothing can separate us from the love of God” (Romans 8:38-39), we will continue to share His love and His truths with our children each week.
SESSION
Stephen’s Sermon
BIBLE PASSAGE
Acts 6-7
STORY POINT
Stephen preached about Jesus no matter what.
KEY PASSAGE
Romans 12:5
BIG PICTURE QUESTION
What is the church? The church is all Christians everywhere, who gather together in their communities to worship and serve God.
CHRIST CONNECTION
Stephen was killed because he was a Christian. Jesus told His followers that they would be persecuted—hated, hurt, or even killed—for loving Him. Jesus also said that those who suffer for Him would be blessed. We can face suffering in this life because Jesus suffered first. He died and then rose again, and He is waiting for us in heaven.
