Fearless VBS
DO YOU HAVE A FEARLESS FAITH?
In this New Testament-based study, you and your students will follow some of the most faithful Christians in the book of Acts, and see how you can build the same kind of FEARLESS faith that they had! By studying Luke’s Scripture, students will learn about the amazing ACCURACY of the book of Acts, and why starting with the truth is the first step to building faith. They will take a closer look at Peter’s sermon and see why it is so important to pay ATTENTION while building their faith. They will learn the importance of having a constant AWARENESS of Jesus as part of their faith through the example of Stephen. They will see Aquila and Priscilla’s example of what it looks like to be AVAILABLE to serve God faithfully. Finally, they will see several examples in Paul’s life of why a FEARLESS faith is a faith that takes ACTION! The FEARLESS VBS package is a fun, Bible-based, practical, and age-appropriate way to equip all ages for a lifetime of faith. It will excite and inspire everyone in your congregation to serve God more fearlessly!
