THE CHURCH: Paul Visits Athens | God Made Everything

Anna and Matt follow Paul on his second missionary journey as he travels toward Corinth and stops in Athens, where people worshiped idols and many different gods. With help from their friend Jeff the craftsman, kids will discover the difference between worshiping things people have made and worshiping the one true God who made everything.

• ❤️ An idol is anything we love or trust more than God.
• 👑 There is only one true God, and He made everything in heaven and on earth.
• 🙌 God doesn't need anything from us. He is the one who gives us life, breath, and everything we need.
• ✝️ Paul told the people of Athens about Jesus, who died and rose again so sinners could be saved.
• ⛪ Some people believed the good news and became part of God's family, the church.
