 Walking with Jesus Walking every day All along the way for I am more Walking with Jesus In the shadows Walking in the sunshine Walking every day Walking with Jesus Let's pray Thank you God for this day Thank you for the gift of life Now as we want to start the children's sermon Help your children to understand what we are saying In Jesus name I pray Amen This month with the junior class Have been presenting the children's sermon My name is Kayla This month has been Gospel in chain Today we study from the book of Acts chapter 24 Get your Bibles and join along with us Our topic is Before Gavanna Felix To remind ourselves of what to learn Last Sabbath Last Sabbath We saw Paul defend himself Before the son Henry And got so angry Because they wanted to kill him Paul was then taken By the Roman commander To the barracks So that he can be safe from the Israelites God then appeared to Paul and encouraged him To be cheerful Paul was then taken to Sicily And judged by Gavanna Felix Who put Paul in prison as they waited For the son Edrin to come Thanks for that reminder guys Children after five days How many days did I say? Five days My priest came to Sicily With some people Who are these people guys? Ananus came with some elders And an orator named Tetelus And they appeared before Felix Wait, who's an orator? Those days is like a lawyer today Tetelus had been hired By the elders to speak on their behalf The one that he was using Some sweet words before Gavanna Felix Actually Divite Tetelus ones were filled with lies One lies when he said that the Jews Enjoyed great peace If they really did enjoy great peace God will not need 7472 soldiers To escort him to Caesarea Wow, that's interesting And another lie is He called Felix the most noble Gavanna Felix was a very corrupt person And will ask for bribes to release prisoners Wow, and why was Tetelus lying? He wanted Gavanna Felix To favour him and the elders But he was threatened by Gavanna Felix That the Jews would attack the Romans If they didn't put Paul in prison Isn't that He called Paul a ringleader of the group of Nazarenes The lawyer was referring to the Christians As the Nazarenes Because they followed Jesus of Nazareth And we see him continuing lying about What happened in Jerusalem and why they arrested him Tetelus said that Paul made the temple unholy While in fact he purified himself for 7 days Before going to the temple Satan must have been very happy But the truth will always win Paul was given a chance to speak And he spoke very differently From Tetelus the lawyer What did he say? Paul does not use so many sweet words full of lies Paul talks politely to Gavanna Felix He said he appreciates the years of experience In judging that he had That's much better What happened next? Felix came with his wife Tusila Who was a Jew In some way, Felix understood the laws And rituals of the Israelites So Felix invited someone And so Felix understood the ways of the Israelites No wonder even the experience What took place afterwards? Paul continued speaking and explaining to Felix What happened within the 12 days he arrived in Jerusalem And challenged his accusers to prove His accusations against him But they did not That's interesting That is so interesting Indeed, very interesting Export Paul into prison Sad, sad, sad Yes, because while there Paul's friends were allowed to visit him But being in prison also kept Paul Being safe from being killed by Jews Wow, God is so wonderful Was Paul released from prison? Yes divine After a few days Felix and his wife, Brusila Went to listen to Paul Preach about doing the writing Self-control and judgment God never lets us down But sadly Felix told Paul to stop talking Why? Felix felt judged because he was very corrupt He wanted Paul to give him money So that he would let him free from prison That's why he sent for him very many times Just when I thought Felix was becoming a good man What happened next? Paul stayed in prison for two years Because Felix did not want the Jews To start a fight with the Romans Then Felix was replaced by a new governor Called Festus Oh Festus That's where the chapter ends But we'll learn that next time Anyways Why don't we tell the children what lessons we learned today? We learned that we should always tell the truth No matter what situation we are facing As God's followers We should follow what is written in the Bible If anything disagrees with it Then we shouldn't do it Last but not least God always has a good plan for allies Even though it may not seem like it Like Paul being in prison Not protecting him from the Jews Children Next about We will see Paul being judged before Festus Good Children And even when we pray to God And ask him to help us He will help us For God does not let his children down Now I want you guys to join us in singing The first song is sung Let us stand up and sing it Walking with Jesus Walking every day All along the way With Jesus Walking with Jesus Walking in the shadows Walking in the sunshine Walking every day All along the way Walking with Jesus Listen to the children, salmon Bless us as we continue Worshiping in your Sabbath day In Jesus name we pray Amen
