Paul

Paul never planned to evangelise Malta. He was there because of a storm at sea and a series of bad decisions by others; however this setback turned into an opportunity, because the story of Jesus was proclaimed on this Mediterranean Island.

Paul's first missionary journey was the island of Cyprus. It was the scene of conversions and a dramatic confrontation as the gospel took root. This outline explores the story with ideas to use for a small group or within an all-age celebration.

The church is the people of God, filled with the Spirit, following the way of Jesus and working together for God where they are. Each person has a gift and ministry in this church. This all-age outline draws on Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12 and Ephesians 4.

Paul's missionary journeys established Christian churches all around the eastern Mediterranean. This session explores how the first Christian church in Europe was established in Philippi, with a focus on praying for guidance.

Saul, who later used his Roman name Paul, couldn't forget the day the Jesus appeared to him on the road to Damascus. Saul's encounter with the light of Jesus is the theme of this outline for an all-age group.

Here is a selection of craft and activity ideas that you could use to explore the story of Saul's conversion in Acts 9 in a group session or for a Messy Church on this theme.

This is an interactive and engaging way to tell the story of Holy Week.

For Christians, following Jesus is sometimes compared to setting out on a journey or embarking on a race through life. This reflective story uses a sports link to explore what being a Christian is all about.
