Check out this page each week for easy ways to bring home what your child has been learning.

If you could have any superpower, which would you choose? According to a gaming experts report, the top three superpowers are flight, invisibility, and super strength. Although, perhaps many of us would agree that the greatest superpower is the one that makes every vegetable taste like ice cream!  
 
When the Holy Spirit filled the disciples, He gave them supernatural power. Acts 3 shares the story of how Peter healed a man who couldn’t walk. Everyone was amazed at the sight of this man walking, leaping, and praising God. When the religious leaders asked Peter who had given him the power to do such a miracle, Peter told them that this man was healed by the power of Jesus Christ!  
 
Jesus had given the disciples a mission, and the Holy Spirit supplied the power to fulfill that mission. The disciples received power better than the ability to fly or have super strength. They received the power to do God’s will and boldly share the gospel to the world! This same power is available to all who believe in Jesus as Lord! 
 
After Jesus returned to heaven, the Holy Spirit gave the disciples power to begin working. With the power of Jesus’ name, Peter healed a man who was lame. Peter and John showed God’s power and pointed to a greater, spiritual healing found in Jesus.

For Fun
Lead kids to investigate different objects that require power in their home. Invite kids to share what type of power sources these objects use such as gas, electricity, solar, etc. Talk about the power of the Holy Spirit and how it is greater than any other power. Remind kids that every believer is empowered by the Holy Spirit to live for Jesus and to share Him with others.

To Serve
Explore opportunities to volunteer at a children’s hospital or serve those who are sick in your church. Talk with kids about the man who was healed by Peter through the power of Jesus. Explain that we can pray for healing and recovery for these patients, while we also remember Jesus’ promise to make all things right when He returns. Remind kids that Jesus provided the greatest healing when He died on the cross to save us from sin.
