The Sunday School Junkie!

Episode Summary
In this heartfelt Sunday Snippet, we hear a powerful message from Sister Delaney, known for her energetic Action Songs on ApostolicSundaySchool.com and YouTube. Speaking from her experience as a missionary in Jordan, she shares a deeply personal and biblical reflection on what it means to love the stranger.

She explores how God's call to love strangers was radical in Bible times—and still is today. Drawing from scriptures in Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy, she reminds us that we were all once strangers, both physically and spiritually. God brought us in, washed us, and made us heirs—so now, it’s our turn to love and welcome others with that same compassion.

📝 Key Scriptures:

• Exodus 22:21

• Leviticus 19:33-34

• Deuteronomy 10:19

• 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

• Colossians 1:21

🙌 Challenge of the Week
“Love the stranger.” Whether it’s the shy kid in your class or someone new at church, be the one who welcomes them. Remember, someone once loved you into the family too.

This week’s Sunday Snippet features a powerful, heartfelt clip from Brother Gabe Baker, who leads Sunday School and Youth at Jesus Name Pentecostal Church in Chehalis, WA.

He’s also one of the creative forces behind the ACTS In Action curriculum and lives fully invested in kids and the Kingdom.

In this short message, Gabe reminds us that kids may not remember every lesson we teach—but they’ll never forget the people who showed up, who loved them, and who pointed them to Jesus.

💡 You don’t have to be perfect.
💡 You don’t need a flawless plan.
💡 You just have to play through.

Be present. Be consistent. That’s what really sticks.
This is your reminder: you are making an eternal difference.
