Unit 35, Session 5:
PAUL'S THIRD JOURNEY

Dear Parents,
 
Thank you for continuing this journey of The Gospel Project® for Kids. Today’s Bible story picks up with Paul’s third missionary journey. Paul traveled from place to place, teaching about Jesus and encouraging the believers. Luke, the writer of Acts, records that a major disturbance arose in Ephesus concerning Christians. Ephesus was a large city in Asia Minor. It was a central location for politics, religions, and business.
 
Some men there made their living by making silver shrines for false gods, like the goddess Artemis. If people started to believe what Paul was saying, they could lose their livelihood! The men started a riot. Paul wanted to speak to the people, but the disciples would not let him. They feared for Paul’s life. After the uproar was over, Paul left for Macedonia.
 
In Troas, a city in Macedonia, Paul spoke about Jesus late into the night. One young man named Eutychus (YOO tih kuhs) was sitting on a window sill, listening, when he fell asleep. He fell out the window from the third story and died. But Paul—through the power of God—brought him back to life.
 
Sometime later, Paul decided to go back to Jerusalem. Along the way, a prophet named Agabus came to Paul. He took Paul’s belt and tied his own feet and hands. Then he said that the Jews in Jerusalem would bind Paul’s hands and feet in the same way. Paul’s friends begged him not to go. But Paul was not afraid to be arrested—or even to die—for the name of Jesus, so Paul kept going toward Jerusalem.
 
Paul told about Jesus even when he was in danger. Paul shared the gospel with people who didn’t know Jesus. He told people to turn from their sins and trust in Jesus, and he encouraged believers in the church to keep loving Jesus. God changed the people’s hearts, and they turned away from their sin. The good news about Jesus is powerful and life-giving.
​I hope that gives you a little more understanding of what your child learned this week. I encourage you to review this story with them at home and utilize the Family Journal Page PDF below this letter throughout the next week.

If you would like a copy of the songs the children are doing in Sunday School for this unit, or if you have any other questions please feel free to contact me.

What did Paul tell people to do?
Memory Verse for this Unit
I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power
of God for salvation to everyone who believes,
​to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
Romans 1:16
