“The Church United”: Preschool & Kids Leader Training for Unit 32, Session 2—Paul's First Journey
This week, we see the story of the church take a major turn, one that we should be immensely grateful for. In Acts 13-14, Paul and Barnabas take the first recorded church missions trip. Thus, the final step of the formula Jesus gave to follow in Acts 1:8 began in earnest. The gospel was being taken to the ends...

“The Church United”: Preschool & Kids Leader Training for Unit 31, Session 3—Jesus Is Better
We aren’t exactly sure of who wrote the Book of Hebrews and the context of why it was written. Common views of authorship include Luke, Clement, Barnabas, Apollos, Timothy, Peter, Silas, Jude, and of course Paul. Yeah, pretty long list of candidates. While the specific context is not known either, fewer suggestions than those of authorship are offered. One...

“The Church United”: Preschool & Kids Leader Training for Unit 31, Session 2—Barnabas in Antioch
Consider all of the difficulties the young church had been through to this point in its history: Peter and John’s arrest (Acts 4)Ananias and Sapphira’s deception (Acts 5)The apostles on trial (Acts 5)The dispute between the Hebraic and Hellenistic Jews (Acts 6)Stephen’s martyrdom (Acts 7)Severe persecution and scattering (Acts 8) Yes, the church had also experienced great joys, but...
