SuperVerse
- Whiteboard and marker, or chalkboard and chalk
- Eraser
Write the SuperVerse on the board: “You will be My witnesses, telling people about Me everywhere.” Acts 1:8
Superbook Witness: Memorize the SuperVerse with a group activity.
What do you think it means to be a witness for Jesus? Children answer.
The disciples had the benefit of personally knowing Jesus. They witnessed His ministry and miracles, which they could then share with others. Paul wasn’t one of the original twelve disciples. In fact, at first, he wanted to kill Jesus’ followers!
Does anyone know how he was transformed?
While Paul was on the road to Damascus to find and arrest Christians, Jesus revealed Himself to Paul in a blinding light. Paul’s life was completely changed! Instead of trying to stop the Gospel, he began spreading it everywhere he went, for the rest of his life!
When we have Jesus in our hearts, we have Good News to share!
Have children sit facing the board. In this activity, you will be witnesses. To begin, let’s read the SuperVerse from the board together:
Read it again—but this time louder! Children read the SuperVerse.
Erase the board. All of you witnessed the words on the board. Now I’ll ask all of you witnesses, who remembers the first word of the verse? You.
Write the word on the board. Very good! Is there another witness who can tell me the second word of the verse? Will.
Continue to ask “the witnesses” for each word until the whole verse is on the board, then have the class say it together.
Conclusion: You are true witnesses of what you saw and heard! Our mission is to tell others about Jesus so they can come to know Him!
