I
f
your friends asked you to help them, what would you do? Why?

Jesus asked His friends to help Him. He told them to tell
others about Him. They went all over the world. Jesus was pleased.
Jesus wants our help, too. We can tell people about Jesus.

In Paul
’
s time there was
a problem. People had different ideas about right and wrong.
What should they do? Paul taught them a lesson. They were
not to do anything that would hurt anothe
r
person. If they kept this in
m
ind they would
know right from wrong.
This is still right.
Show me how to help a friend walk closer to Jesus.
How do you decide whom to believe when you and your friends
disagree?
Is one of your friends always right?
Sometimes we do not know how to te
ll
about Jesus. The
disciples did. They to
l
d what the Bible said. It tells about Jesus.
Paul told people about Jesus. Paul knew verses from the
Bible. The verses told about Jesus.
We can tell friends about Jesus. We can tel
l
them what the Bible says. It tells about Jesus.
Help me learn Bible verses to share with a friend.
When was the last time you had trouble doing something?
Did you ask for help?
We may need he

what Jesus means to us. But they still do not trust in Jesus. God can help our
friends to trust Jesus.
God can help our friends understand about Jesus. We can also
help our friends. We can pray for them. It w

When something good happens to you, do you want to tell
someone?
Whom do you tell?
A man could not see. He had always been blind.
One day Jesus helped the man see. He was very happy.
He told the people what Jesus did for him.
We can tell our friends how Jesus helps us, too. This is how
we share about Jesus.
Show me how to share ways You have helped me.
When has a friend stood up for you?
How did you feel?
Moses stood up for God. He spoke to the people. He said to
worship on
l
y God.
Peter told about Jesus. Some leaders told him to be quiet.
But he was not. He stood up for Jesus.
We can stand up for Jesus, too. We can be like Moses and
Peter.
Help me to be strong and brave for You.
When was the last time told you they love you?
How did you feel?
People can tell we love Jesus. We should be kind to one
another. Then people will know that we love Jesus. Paul did more than that. He
told his friends he loved them. He showed them he loved them.
We should show our friends that we love the. God likes it
when we love each other.
Help me tell my friends I love them.
Have you ever had a chance to do something you really wanted
to do?
How did you feel?
Philip saw a man reading the Bible. The man did not
understand what he was reading. Philip told him. Philip told him about Jesus.
God gave Philip a chance. Philip used his chance. He told
about Jesus.
God gives us chances, too. We should be ready. We can tell
what Jesus means to us.
Give me a chance to tell a friend about Jesus.
