Leader Guide

Maze Activity

Give each child a copy of Paul’s Journey and a pencil. Have children write their names at the bottom. Lead a discussion using the questions and answers below as the children complete the activity. 

• When Chris heard that Paul and Silas were going to the river, what did he say he forgot to bring? His swim trunks or swimsuit.    
• Have you ever experienced the Holy Spirit’s direction in your life; if so, can you share your experience with us?
• Why do you think we should trust the Holy Spirit’s leading? Because God loves us and wants what is best for us. He guides us into all truth, and according to God’s will and things that please Him.   
• Do you remember how God instructed Paul to go to Macedonia? He had a vision.
• What happened in the vision? A man from Macedonia pleaded for them to come and help them.  
• Name some good things that happened because Paul followed the Spirit’s direction. Lydia and her household and the jailer and his household were saved and baptized. The fortune teller was set free from an evil spirit and her masters who controlled her.  

Conclusion: Take your maze home and talk with your family about how we need to seek God for direction in every part of our lives. We also must be willing to change our plans to go where His Spirit directs us.
