MAY 17 -- BIBLE STORY SUMMARY
In Acts 3:1-4:21 we see that Jesus’ mission isn’t going to be that easy. Peter healed someone in the name of Jesus and caused quite a stir. Peter and John used this moment to share the message of Jesus. Soon though, the religious leaders arrested them and had them stand trial. Peter and John showed determination. They made it clear that no matter what happened to them, they would continue sharing Jesus with others.
That's why our Bottom Line this week is: Keep going even when it gets tough.
Even when we follow Jesus, we’re not promised an easy life. We are promised that God will be with us. Just because a situation we face is difficult, doesn’t mean it’s time to give up. We pray that kids will learn to lean into the power of God to find the determination they need to keep going.

"HIGH HOPES By Esther GrayWhat do you want your family to look like or feel like 10-15 years from now? As a parent, you get the extraordinary privilege, and incredible pressure, of creating your own family culture for your kids. When my husband and I started our parenting journey, we decided to make some informal goals for our family (these are not written anywhere, but they could be). We like to revisit them every time an important decision comes up in our lives. We ask ourselves these three things: What kind of parent do we want our kids to have? What kind of relationship do we want between our kids? How do we want our family to react in times of stress? These three things we knew we can work on!

BED TIME CHAT:
Jesus never promised that when you try to live the way He taught us, things will be easy.
But the awesome thing is that you don’t have to tough it out on your own.
When you follow Jesus, God promises to give you the power of His Spirit to keep going.
When you pray tonight, ask that God will give you the power of His Spirit this week to keep going, even when things get tough.
