Paul Told Lydia About Jesus

Acts 16:11-15, 40

Paul went many places telling people about Jesus. One day Paul and his friends were traveling by boat. They stopped at a big city, Paul wanted everyone in the city to hear about Jesus. On the day Paul and his friends usually went to church, they walked out of the city and down to the river. There Paul and his friends found some women. Because there was no church in the city, the women met beside the river to pray and learn about God.

Paul talked to the women about Jesus. One of the women was named Lydia. She sold purple cloth. Paul told Lydia and the other women that Jesus loved them. Lydia believed the things Paul said about Jesus. Lydia asked Paul and his friends to come to her home. And they did.

4. Ask children what color cloth Lydia sold. Show the Bible story picture and ask boys and girls questions like: “Where was Lydia when she heard about Jesus? Who told her about Jesus? Who was she with when Paul told her about Jesus? What did she want Paul and her friends to do after she learned about Jesus?”

5. Pray and thank God for the story of Paul and Lydia. Ask God to help us tell others about Jesus.

6. Ask a child to open your Bible to the purple Bible marker. Read the verse “Go and tell others about Jesus.” Mark 16:15. Say the verse together.

Find the Bible phrases. Place the colored Bible phrase strips in the preschool teaching Bible in the appropriate place. Ask the preschoolers to sit around you and choose a colored marker. Ask them to tell you the color and you share with them the Bible phrase—ask them to repeat it after you. After all have been chosen, place them back in the Bible and let preschoolers take turns choosing a colored marker and saying the Bible phrase on their own.

Play “I Can.” Place preschoolers in a semi-circle. Put a chair in the center of the circle. Select a child to sit in the chair with eyes closed. Place a scarf or piece of fabric on the floor behind the chair. Select another child to quietly take the item and go back to his place. The child in the chair gets 3 guesses to identify who took the item. Encourage the one guessing to say: “I Can tell you who took the scarf.” Then say, “We all Can tell others about Jesus.”
