Philip and the Ethiopian (Acts 8:26-40) Kids' Bible Lesson & Sunday School Activities PDF

The story of Philip and the Ethiopian is a fascinating encounter among many in the book of Acts. Through it we see how the Holy Spirit guides us and equips us to carry out His work. It is important for us to have the courage and willingness to share the Gospel with others, and God helps us do that! This lesson explores the story of Philip’s meeting with the foreign man and reminds children that God uses us to teach others about Him. Just as we learn when others show and teach us things, we can pass along what we know about Jesus. 

God loves us and has done remarkable things in our lives. Knowing that good news should inspire us to pass it onto others. With Philip and the Ethiopian, we see how the contagious enthusiasm of good teachers helps us to understand and inspires us to continue to spread the Gospel message. The great news is that we are not alone in these efforts. The Holy Spirit promises to help and guide us, just as He did with Philip.
