PETER PERFORMED MIRACLES

ACTS 9

Week of 6th Apr 24

Welcome to this week’s Grace Kids @Home, a recap of last Saturday's Grace Kids lesson.

We’ve prepared a short question guide that will enable you as a parent to follow up with your children on the lesson they had. For effective learning at Grace Kids we believe in the 3 step learning cycle – presentation (in class), feedback (in class) and follow up/repetition (at home). We encourage you to take time every week and complete the learning process for the kids so that the truth of the Gospel will be sustained in their hearts.

Before beginning the discussion ensure you have less distractions, try to make the discussion informal, please do not exceed 20 minutes in conducting the discussion.

First, ask the children the questions and note down their answers thereafter read the answers to them and help them remember.

The important discussion-questions to ask your children are:

1. a) Who gave Peter the power to heal and tell others about Jesus? b) How do you think the man who could not walk felt after he was healed? c) These miracles remind us of Jesus. Do you remember a miracle Jesus did? If so, which one? d) How does knowing Jesus give us hope that one day He will make all things right?
2. How does this story connect to Christ?
3. Can you recite the key passage – ‘1 Corinthians 12:12’?
4. What was the answer to the big picture question – ‘What is the church?’

1. The Bible story

PETER PERFORMED MIRACLES

Peter had become a leader in the early church. God gave power to Peter and to Jesus’ other disciples to heal people and to tell others about Jesus. At this time, the church had peace and was strengthened. More people joined the church.
Peter was traveling from place to place. He visited the Christians living in a town called Lydda (LID uh). A man named Aeneas (ih NEE uhs) lived there. Aeneas was could not walk and had to stay in bed. Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus heals you. Get up and make your bed.” Aeneas got up right away. When this happened, many people believed in the Lord.
In the city of Joppa (JAHP uh), there was a follower of Jesus named Dorcas. She was always doing good works—helping people in need and making clothes for widows. Over time, Dorcas got sick and died. The disciples in Joppa sent two men to get Peter.
Peter came to Joppa. He went upstairs in the house where Dorcas’ body lay. Peter sent Dorcas’ friends out of the room and knelt down beside her body. Peter prayed. Then he said, “Dorcas, get up.”
She opened her eyes, saw Peter, and sat up. Peter called for the disciples and friends, and they saw that Dorcas was alive! People throughout the city heard about this miracle, and many believed in the Lord.
