Athens: Paul’s Dangerous Journey to Share the Truth
Brave the Wild
Who Is My Neighbor?
Miraculous Mission: Jesus Saves the World
Group
David C Cook
Herald Press
Concordia Publishing House
Imagine leaving a life of privilege and power to face angry mobs, painful imprisonment, and chain-breaking earthquakes—all to spread the life-changing truth of God’s love. Learn the jaw-dropping story of the Apostle Paul…straight from Paul himself! In an ancient “anything goes” culture, Paul will inspire kids to share the truth of God’s immeasurable love today!
Brave the Wild VBS invites kids to join the adventure of believing God’s promises! Each day kids will see what happened when a Bible hero trusted God to keep His promises. Your kids will learn the theme verse (Psalm 145:13) by heart and be encouraged to count on God to always keep His promises. They will discover that when they choose to believe God’s promises, they’re in for the adventure of a lifetime!
Neighbors are more than people who live next door, or people in our families or communities. From looking at how to be a neighbor to diving into what it means to live out our faith, this interactive VBS series will lead children deeply into Bible stories focused on God’s care and compassion for neighbors close at hand and around the world. Join us as we discover neighbors near and far!
In this big, vast, amazing universe, we sometimes feel small and on our own. Yet God loves us each so much that He sent Jesus, His Son, to be our Savior. Join us for VBS 2019 and explore God’s miraculous mission, as we learn about His plan of salvation from creation to the cross.
Paul begins his second missionary journey (Acts 15:36–16:5); Paul and Silas are put in prison (Acts 16:16-40); An angry mob searches for Paul and Silas (Acts 17:1-9); Paul preaches about Jesus (Acts 17:16-34); Paul continues his journey (Acts 18:1-5).
Abraham BELIEVED God’s Promise (Genesis 12, 15, 17, 21); Isaac WAITED for God’s Promise (Genesis 22, 24–26); Jacob RECEIVED God’s Promise (Genesis 26–28, 32); Jesus IS God’s Promise (Matthew 2–5); Joseph BRAVED God’s Promise (Genesis 37, 39–42).
