Giving the man the ability to walk was a great gift, but teaching all the people at the gate about Jesus was the best gift Peter and John could have given anyone! We can give others this great gift, too, when we take time to tell them about Jesus.

Motion :: Week of April 28

April 30, 2018 | Motion (1st - 5th grade), Road Trip

PATIENCE: Waiting until later for what you want now.
Series Memory Verse: “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” Psalm 27:14 (NIV)
Main Point: When you think you can’t wait, think twice.
Bible Story: Esau’s Impatience | Genesis 25:24-34

Have you ever been on a road trip? As much as the journey is worth it to get to the destination, road trips take time and waiting to arrive can be frustrating. But it’s not just with road trips. It seems like we are always waiting for something or someone all the time. Because of Jesus and His sacrifice, WE CAN WAIT. We can trust that God is in control. We can have hope that things will work out in the end. And we can be patient because we know all that God has done. God is patient.

We’ll finished out the month with one of the best examples of what happens when you’re not patient; you lose something of value. In Genesis 25:24-34, we discover the story of Esau sacrificing his birthright for a bowl of stew. Because Esau was impatient, he lost something he could never get back.

When you think you can’t wait, think twice. Don’t let your lack of patience cause you to make a decision you’ll regret. Think twice about what really matters. Ask God to help you wait patiently for what matters most.

I can tell others about Jesus even when it’s hard. While we may never have it as rough as Paul and Silas had it, there will be times that it’s hard to tell other about Jesus. God is with us in every circumstance, including when we others about His Son.

April Memory Verse
This month our Bible verse tells us to share with everyone the big news that Jesus is alive!

Children can recite the verse every week in April to earn a special memory verse card. When your child receives a memory verse card, celebrate with them on learning their verse and put the card on their Quest poster.

“Go (run in place)
and make (pound fist into palm)
disciples (point out)
of all nations.”  (extend arms overhead in a circle)
Matthew 28:19 (open hands like a book)

Practice this verse together and encourage your child to recite it to their eGroup Leader this week in Quest.
