God Sets the Captives Free
God Shows Himself Powerful
Through Our Circumstances
Through the Spirit of
God.
There was a girl who followed Paul and Silas around. She had an evil spirit. The evil spirit grieved them. Act 16:16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain, by soothsaying: She repeatedly cried out day after day, saying, These, men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. She did this many days, Paul became greatly grieved and commanded the evil spirit to leave the woman. The evil spirit immediately obeyed and left the woman.
Now there were men that made money off the girl, because of
the evil spirit. They became angry at
Paul and Silas because they couldn’t make money off of her soothsaying any
longer. So they decided to cause problems
for Paul and Silas. They brought Paul
and Silas to the leaders of that city and accused them of causing problems
throughout the city.
The leaders took their clothes from them and commanded that
they beat them. They hit them with whips, over and over. They were thrown into prison and the jailor
was commanded to keep a guard over them.
Even though Paul and Silas were doing what God wanted them
to do (by giving the gospel.) They
suffered persecution. The reason they
ended up going through these terrible things was that someone was mad
because of the money. The men got mad
over the money and that was when they decided to get even.
Sometimes people can use other people for money, and they
become a slave to those people. They don’t
have any choice in the matter. That
woman was not paid anything even though they made money off of her. Maybe she was following Paul and Silas because
she wanted to be saved from the evil spirit and also the slavery those men put
her under.
God used Paul to deliver her, by one command. Paul had the power of the Holy Spirit upon
him. God showed himself great in the
life of the young girl. She was saved
from slavery. The devil was mad and
showed himself through the actions of the men who loved money enough to enslave
a young maiden.
Now Paul and Silas were sitting in a damp, dark prison. They had open wounds on their bodies. They
were hungry and thirsty. They didn’t
have any time to be afraid, they started praising and thanking the Lord. They sang songs psalms of praise. They were prepared in their hearts. They had God’s word in their hearts. They knew good songs to sing.
Young people you need to know the Bible, you need to know good songs of faith. God used those things in their lives when they were hurt when they were persecuted.
Act 16:24 - 25 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
Act 16:26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
They sang praise and prayed to the Lord with all their heart and the power of God shook the jail and the walls came down and the jail doors were opened. God has the power to save, God has the power to deliver. God broke the chains of bondage from them. God loves praise and it moves him if it is from a true heart of faith. They didn’t have instruments- they just sang beautiful words to a tune. It could have been out of tune for all we know. God loved it so much he broke down those walls to save his servants.
The jailor was afraid he would get in trouble if anyone escaped. Paul said, Don’t worry, we are all here. Guess what?
The jailor believed in God and got saved. God shows himself, powerful through our circumstances.
Acts 16:31 And Acts 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house
The same is true for us today.
2Peter 3:9b .... but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. God wants people to be saved. He wants you to be saved and live your life for him. God does not want anyone to go to hell, but that is what happens to those who die without him.
Father God, If there is anyone here that has not put their trust in you, that has not asked for you to save them. I pray that you will open their hearts to you today. Thank you so much that Jesus came to this earth to die for our sins. Thank you so much that you arose from the dead. Thank-you that you have the power to save anyone who wants to be saved. Help each one here understand your love for them and that you want them to be saved.
In Christ Jesus's name, I pray this Amen.

We said it like this - They took the key and locked them up.
We made chains from colored paper and put a memory verse on one of the chains.
The chains are to remind the kids of the power of God.
Use a premade paper chain to demonstrate how easy
the metal chains broke when God broke them.
Acts 16:16 - 33 ¶
And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.
And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,
And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.
And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
Full But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.
And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.

2 Lessons - Jonah - Obedience - Complete
I'm teaching children 1-7 yrs at this time
2 with disabilities - but the lessons could be adapted for any age.
2 Lessons - Jonah - Obedience
Part 1
I do not get paid - I do not have to do any of this. I do this because I want to.
God Showing Himself Powerful Through His Wrath
God Showing Himself Powerful Through His Mercy
He absolutely refused to obey the Lord. He got on a ship and paid them to take him as far away from Nineveh as possible. He thought He had outsmarted the Lord God.
It was all peaceful and happy, not a cloud in the sky. They started on their way. When they were way out at sea, something began to happen. The sky started to gather dark clouds. A raging storm with thunder and lightning began blowing across the sea. The ship was whipped back a fourth by the forceful winds. They began to fear for their lives. They wondered if God was angry with someone. They were looking for Jonah, where could he be? They found him sleeping. "We are going to die! Wake up! How can you sleep? God is angry with someone. Get up and pray to your God lest we die.
God’s wrath was kindled. The other men prayed to their false gods, but they did not hear. They started throwing all the cargo overboard.
Jonah admitted to them that he had been disobedient to God. He told them about the one and only God. They trusted the Lord God Almighty. They cried and prayed in fear to the living God Almighty.
Nothing worked the ship was going to go down if they didn’t do something. They threw Jonah overboard. Jonah was tangled in the waves of the sea. He nearly drowned to death and would have but Jonah awoke in a dark dripping cave filled with smelly whale digestion. He had air to breathe. Fear filled his heart.
God had prepared the whale for Jonah. He commanded the whale to swallow Jonah. The female whale is the biggest fish in the sea. So most likely it was a female whale that swallowed him.
Jonah prayed and cried to God for forgiveness. He felt as though he had died and gone to hell. He even called it hell. He said he was in "the belly of hell."
Talk about Jonah's Rebellion.
.Memory Verse
Jonah 1:1b .......go to Nineveh
Below
This picture is just to show you
that the whale swallowed Jonah.
It didn't happen exactly like this picture.
He sank to the bottom
of the sea and the whale
scooped him up from sure death.
He was going to die but God used the whale to save his life.
Talk about Jonah's prayers.
Let's name some things He
Could thank God For.
He could thank the Lord he was not dead.
He could thank the Lord he had breath to breathe.
He could thank the Lord that he had a chance to live.
He thanked the Lord that his prayers were heard.
He thanked the Lord that He saw the salvation of the Lord.
Jonah gave sacrifices of praise
and thanksgiving to the Lord God.
Within the whale's belly.
He thought he would die.
but
Salvation Is of The Lord.

Teachers Reading
Please remember to read the scriptures at the bottom of this post.
Keep all the Jonah pictures up for the following week.
Next Weeks Lesson Below This Point
Part 2
Keep your games up from past lessons to review.
Go over last week's lesson in a review.
Then start off here.
God
gave Nineveh 40 days to repent. That meant many people would die in some
disaster. The sin of Nineveh was great and God became angry at
their evil-doing (sin) and their violence.
When
Jonah was inside the whale he thought he was in hell.
He
wasn't really in hell but there is a real hell for those who will not believe
upon the Lord God.
God
promised destruction to Nineveh but he really wanted them to repent. That
is why God wanted Jonah to Go to Nineveh and to warn them. God saw the
sin rise up towards heaven. God knows about any sin in our lives and He
wants us to turn from it, just like Jonah going to Nineveh. Jonah
repented of his sin and confessed his sin to God. He asked for God's
salvation, He surely would have died in the hell he was in had he not agreed to
go to Nineveh. God calls us to obey him and love him too.
Does God tell you to obey your
parents? Does he want you to be kind and forgiving?
There are lots of things God tells
us to do and also things he tells us not to do.
He knows everything about us and
knows what we think and feel.
The most important thing Is.....
The Bible teaches us that we must
believe upon the Lord
Jesus Christ to be delivered from
the real hell.
Jonah and the whale speak about
hell.
That's why God tells us to warn
people about the wrath to come.
Not to just grown-ups but also to
the young:
God calls preachers and teachers
to tell of God's mercy and his grace.
All of Nineveh believed and saw
the salvation of the Lord.
Even the King of Nineveh humbled
himself fasted and believed in God.
God repented and showed mercy to
all of Nineveh.
Boys and girls I'm the teacher
that is telling you about these things today.
God wants us to warn both young
and old. Just as he wanted
Jonah to warn the people of
Niniveh.
In the story of Jonah, God
mentions the children of Niniveh.
God thinks of children. God
cares for children. He wanted Jonah to remember the children of Nineveh.
Why do we need to warn people
today? People need to know that hell is waiting for every soul
that refuses Christ. Those who refuse his love, and who refuse his Word.
God wants us to warn people just
as Jonah was sent, we are sent.
We are sent to tell of God's mercy
and forgiveness. We are to warn people that there is hell to escape
and the only way to escape is putting our trust in Christ for salvation.
God saved Jonah’s life through the whale. God saves us through Jesus
Christ his only begotten Son.
God gave Nineveh forty days.
Pray for our country that we do not turn our backs on God. My fear
is that God will see the sins of America rise up to the heavens, just like
Nineveh. Woe to the nation that forgets and rejects God.
Boys and girls, you can call to
God in prayer today and ask forgiveness for your sins. God's will is that
you turn from bad behavior and bad attitudes. Jesus came to die for our
sins. He took our sins upon himself and took our punishment. Jesus
died and was in hell three days and three nights (in the heart of the earth).
just as Jonah was in the belly of the whale for three days and three nights. He
took our punishment - He was literally in hell. Why did He do that?
Because he loves you and me. He loves people. God made a way
through Jesus to be saved from our sins and the hell to come. Jesus took
our place. He arose from the dead and
proved He is victorious over death and hell.
God showed mercy to Nineveh
because they believed and feared the Lord God. God gave mercy because they
repented of their wrong behavior and their violence.
Matthew 12:40
For as Jonas was three days and
three nights in the whale's belly; so, shall the Son of man be three days and
three nights in the heart of the earth. (hell)
Father God, we pray for each child
here, we pray if there is one here that does not know you as their Saviour, that
you will speak to his or her heart today.
Help them to understand your Word.
Help them understand your will for their lives. Help them understand that there is a heaven
and that there is a hell. Help them
understand that this lesson about your mercy for all those who will believe
upon the Lord Jesus Christ.
I pray this in the name of our
Lord, Jesus Christ, Amen.
Teach the class the word "repent"-
Teachers Notes:
When the bible says God repented it means that God gave
them mercy based upon their repentance.
Our repentance is turning away from living wrongly in
God's sight, to living a life pleasing to God.
It does not say Jonah told them about the whale
but I'm sure he did. God does not do anything evil in the way that we think of it.
God was going to bring judgment upon a nation that was rebellious to him. God is all-powerful and hates sin. He would bring about a disastrous happening- Evil means disastrous.
Have the kids guess what the picture under the sun is.
Then show them the same picture with the whale on it.
Jonah told them about the whale
I'm sure he did. His story was a testimony of God's wrath and mercy.
This could be the coloring sheet as well as a visual on the wall or board.
Have them try to draw the whale.
Jonah 4
The gourd could of been a pumpkin plant.
Jonah cared more for his gourd than even the smallest child in Nineveh. God wanted him to care more for people. He didn't have forgiveness in his heart. God used the gourd to show him he was selfish. He took no thought for the innocent in that city.
Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?

Please remember to read the scriptures at the bottom of this post.
Jonah 1:1-17 and Jonah 2:1- 4:11
Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD and went down to Joppa, and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken. Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.
So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.
And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; What is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?
And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land.
Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous. And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.
Nevertheless, the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them. Wherefore they cried unto the LORD, and said, We beseech thee, O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee.
So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging. Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows. Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
Jonah 2:1-10
Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me. Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God. When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
Jonah 3:1
And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying,
Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.
So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey. And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything: let them not feed, nor drink water:
But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
Jonah 4:1-11
Jon 4:1 ¶ But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.
Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry? So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.
And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd. But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.
And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live. And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death. Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?
