Bethany and her mother inspired me to record this teaching tip on how to re-enact a story. Such a technique can illustrate a point far better than words alone (Luke 20.24, Romans 6.23)

It is easy to grow weary and lose heart in the Christian race.   

Hebrews chapter 12 provides us with the inspiration of Jesus, and Acts chapter 8 provides us with the inspiration of the early Christians. 

In this lesson, I examine how their examples help us to not give in to the temptation to become weary and lose heart.

"Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.” Heb 13.20-21

* Enabling our children to become Christians

* Always free, yet spiritual

* Toiling to build the church well

The Scriptures used are in a handout. Email me for a copy.
