This lesson talks about the transformation from Saul to Paul. He was a Christian hater and would put them in prison. After God got ahold of his life, he started teaching and preaching about Jesus! A total transformation! We need Jesus to transform our lives. He will take away our sinful life and transform us into a new creature.

This illustration shows that if you do not stick to the recipe your milkshake will not turn out well. If you don't stick to the instructions in God's Word your life will not turn out well. You will not make it to heaven, if you don't follow God's plan for your life.

This lesson shows that Jesus wanted salvation to be preached to ALL nationalities. Jesus is not prejudice so we shouldn't be either. Salvation is for ALL people no matter their color, nationality, who their relatives were or anything. ALL means ALL. Jesus wants EVERYONE to be saved.

This lesson tells how Paul and Silas praised God even while they were in prison and great things happened. We need to praise God no matter what our circumstances. Even if you were put in jail for teaching about Jesus, you should still teach and praise God while you are in jail.

This lesson shows how we should show mercy to others. Jesus shows us mercy so we need to show others mercy. Jesus sees value in us! We are valuable to Him! We need to value others too.

This lesson finishes our series on the Heroes of Faith from the New Testament. John was shown some wonderful things about the New Jerusalem and what heaven would be like. He had to have faith that he would see that city some day, even though he was banished to the Island of Patmos where prisoners were sent.

This lesson and illustration show us that we should not be afraid. That if we trust God, our trust will push our fears away. With Jesus in our lives we do not have to be afraid of anything, even COVID-19.

This lesson and illustration shows us how that when we are afraid, Jesus will comfort us. The Holy Ghost is the Comforter. I like to have my favorite blanket when I don't feel well. Jesus will wrap His arms around us like we wrap our favorite blanket or comforter around us. He will be there when we are sad, sick, or afraid. With Jesus we do not need to be afraid!
