This month's memory verse
There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call—one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

“To this day I have had the help that comes from God, and so I stand here testifying both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come to pass”
19“And so, King Agrippa, I obeyed that vision from heaven. 20I preached first to those in Damascus, then in Jerusalem and throughout all Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that all must repent of their sins and turn to God—and prove they have changed by the good things they do. 21Some Jews arrested me in the Temple for preaching this, and they tried to kill me. 22But God has protected me right up to this present time so I can testify to everyone, from the least to the greatest. I teach nothing except what the prophets and Moses said would happen—23that the Messiah would suffer and be the first to rise from the dead, and in this way announce God’s light to Jews and Gentiles alike.”
In Paul’s testimony and your own testimony, you can see the important differences between life before Jesus and life after meeting Jesus.
Take a sheet of paper and fold it in half.
Label one side “Before Jesus” and the other side “After Jesus.”
Start with Paul’s testimony and draw or write what he shares about his life before and after meeting Jesus.
Then, add pictures or details from your own testimony. You can utilize these prompts to help:
Looking at both sides of the paper, discuss how Jesus helps us get from the “before” to the “after.”
Thank God for changing your life.
Ask God to continue changing your heart to be more like Jesus.
Pray for friends or family that do not yet know Jesus.
