THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

ACTS 2; PETER'S LIFE

Discuss

This Sunday in GrowKids we introduced the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. We learned that the Holy Spirit empowers us to LOVE, PRAY, and WITNESS. Through the life of Peter we explored the change in his life – from fear and and denying Christ to being filled with the Holy Spirit and leading over 3,000 to come to know Christ as their Savior! Using the following scriptures, discuss with your family the ways the Holy Spirit empowers us to: LOVE: Mark 12:30-31; WITNESS: Matthew 28:19; PRAY: Ephesians 6:18.

Weekly Challenge

The main theme this week was to be plugged in to the power of the Holy Sprit. As a family think of as many tools as you can that can be used with or without power. For example a screwdriver vs a drill; whisk vs electric beater. To drive this point even further, plan tasks where you attempt to use both of the tools (powered and non-powered) and talk about which was easier. Further discuss how that relates to the Holy Spirit in our lives – being full of His power makes things go so much easier – for all of us!!!
