Here's what The Treehouse is learning in May...
This Month’s Attribute of God Is: God Is in Control
God protected the early church by exposing Ananias and Sapphira’s deceit and led Philip to the Ethiopian at just the right time to share the Gospel. God miraculously rescued Peter from prison, showing His power over human plans. God used Paul to proclaim the truth to people who had never heard it, and He placed Priscilla and Aquila in Apollo’s path to explain the Gospel more clearly. In each moment, God was directing and fulfilling His plan.
Monthly Memory Verse: Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is Yours. (1 Chronicles 29:11a)
ESV
Week 1:
The Early Church | Acts 4:32–37; 5:1–11
The early church shared generously, but Ananias and Sapphira sold a field, kept part of the money and lied about it—leading to their sudden deaths when confronted.
Brite Idea: God’s way is best!
Week 2:
Philip and the Ethiopian | Acts 8:26–40
Philip met an Ethiopian man reading the Scriptures. After Philip told him about Jesus, he believed and was baptized. God’s plan for salvation is for all, not just the Jews.
Brite Idea: God seeks us out.
Week 3:
Peter’s Rescue | Acts 12:3–19
Peter was arrested. The night before his trial, he was miraculously freed and went to a house of believers. They were amazed, and Peter told how the Lord had rescued him.
Brite Idea: God is powerful.
Week 4:
Paul in Athens | Acts 17:16–34
Paul preached about Jesus in Athens. At the Areopagus, he explained that God made everything and isn’t found in idols. Some mocked, some were curious and some believed.
Brite Idea: God is the one true God.
Week 5:
Aquila, Priscilla and Apollos | Acts 18:18–28
Priscilla and Aquila met Apollos in Ephesus, who was boldly preaching about Jesus but lacked full understanding. They taught him and Apollos went on to share the Gospel with many others.
Brite Idea: God works through people.
