March 3, 2024, VAIBC Children’s Cell Newsletter
Dear Parents,
I’d love for you to use this newsletter to review this week’s Bible story with your child at home.
This week, we’ll learn about “Stephen Was Arrested” (Acts 6–7). Our Bible story teaches us how a follower of Jesus named Stephen taught stories from the Old Testament to show the religious leaders that Jesus is the fulfillment of God’s plan to save sinners.
Review the gospel and encourage your child to speak with you if they have questions. Remind your child that Jesus suffered and died to pay for our sins. Encourage your child to remember that as Jesus’ followers, we can have hope even when we face persecution because Jesus died and rose again. All who trust in Him will live forever with Him. Remind your child that Stephen suffered and died for the name of Jesus, but he died with great hope as he saw Jesus in heaven. Tell your child that 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.
Then pray, asking God to help us live for Him no matter what hardships we may face.
Grace and blessings in Christ,
Danny Sungshin Park, Pastor of Children’s Cell
