Series Memory Verse: II Timothy 1:7, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”

Bible Story: Paul Trusted God, Acts 27:13-26

Main Point: Dare to Trust

In the final week of Colossal Coaster World, Daniel helped Jarrod Jason Vanderhagen be less afraid of what was next by learning to trust in God. The future can definitely be intimidating and scary because we don’t know what will happen. We can find encouragement, however, in the fact that we believe in the God who is in control of everything. That helped Paul in today’s Bible story and it can help us as well.

Talk about the future with your family this week. And as you encounter potentially frightening unknowns, point each other back to our loving and powerful God.

Series Memory Verse: II Timothy 1:7, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”

Bible Story: Paul Responded Wisely, Acts 21:33-36, 39 & 22:2b

Main Point: Dare to Stand Strong

In our fourth week of Colossal Coaster World, we saw Daniel actually get on The Vaporizer 3000! We didn’t see what happened, however, as we were teased with a “To Be Continued!”

Before he got on the coaster, however, he was able to share how he used a Bible verse to stand strong in the midst of a difficult time. Jarrod Jason VanDerHagen was teasing Daniel and saying mean things to him, but Daniel remembered II Timothy 1:7 and kept up his courage and faith.

In our Bible story today, we saw how Paul was able to stand strong when he faced a difficult situation. He was confronted by an angry mob but instead of backing down, he continued to share Jesus boldly.

Talk with your family this week about difficult or frightening situations they face. Remind each other that we can use Scripture to remind us of God’s power and help. Whether it’s II Timothy 1:7 or another verse, help arm your family with Bible verses that can provide courage when they face challenges.

And don’t forget to come back next week to see how Daniel did on The Vaporizer 3000!

Bible Story: Paul Proclaimed Salvation, Acts 16:25-34

Main Point: Dare to Believe

This week in Colossal Coaster World, Daniel had the opportunity to share his faith in Jesus with the director of the TV show. He did so boldly and confidently and it obviously made an impact on the director.

In your family this week, it’s the perfect opportunity to either talk with your child about salvation and answer their questions, or encourage them to share their faith with their friends.

Main Point: Dare to Speak Up

In our second week of Colossal Coaster World, Daniel was reminded that God can make us strong when we’re scared. One of the hardest things for us to do is to speak up – it might be to say the unpopular but true thing or to share Jesus when we have an opportunity. And this challenge doesn’t just apply to kids, but to us as adults too.

Talk with your family about times when it’s important to speak up, including success stories from your life or maybe even some missed opportunities you’ve had. Pray together that God would give you the courage to speak up and then don’t forget to pick this conversation up again later to see how God has used all of you.
