This is the final chapter in this study of the book of Acts! There
is a set of Snapshots of the Apostle Paul review worksheets. The students will
write a brief summary under each 'photo'.
We’ve been studying about Paul’s
life. The last couple of weeks we talked about Paul being put on a ship and
taken to Rome, but on the way, there was a storm and their boat hit a sandbar.
They swam to the Island of Malta.
Remember that a poisonous snake
bit Paul when he was putting sticks onto a fire, but nothing happened to him.
Paul healed the Island Governor's father and people came to him to be healed
after they saw what Paul could do. The people on the island gave Paul and his
companions everything they needed to continue their travel. They left the
island after being there for three months.
The scripture for today is Acts
28:11-31. They stopped a couple of places on the way to Rome and they followed
the south winds and landed in Puteoli. They found the Christians there
and stayed for seven days.
They traveled and stopped two more
places and when Paul saw the Christians from these other places, Paul was
thankful to God, and it made him stronger to know that there were more
Christians.
When they arrived in Rome, the
prisoners were handed over to the captain of the guard. Paul was allowed to
stay by himself with a soldier to guard him.
After three days, Paul called the
chief of the Jews together. He explained what had happened to him, why he was a
prisoner and how they should have let him go but didn’t. He said they
had examined him, they wanted to let him go because there wasn’t a reason to
put him to death.
Paul told them that he had
appealed to Caesar. And now Paul has called for the Jews. He wanted to tell
them why he was there and ask for help. They told Paul that they hadn’t
received any letters about him, and they hadn’t heard anything bad about him
either.
They told Paul that they wanted
to hear what he thought. They set up a day for the people to go to where Paul
was staying. Paul talked about Moses and the old law and the Old Testament
prophets. Paul explained to them about Jesus. A lot of people came to see Paul
to hear what he had to say. Some of them believed and some did not. After Paul talked to them, the Jews left and had great discussions about what
Paul had told them.
Read Acts 28:30-31: Luke tells us that Paul rented
a house for two years, and that he was permitted to stay there. Paul was
allowed to see everyone that came to visit him, and he taught everyone that he
could about Jesus.
Paul wrote the Books of
Colossians, Philemon, Ephesians, and Philippians while he was a prisoner in
Rome. These letters were written around A.D. 60 to 61.
For this last lesson in our study of the book of Acts, I
created these worksheets. They are Snapshots of the Apostle Paul. They are
various 'photos' of Paul and what we have been studying. The students can write
a basic summary under each photo while you review Paul's life. They are in
color only. Click here to print.Updated Snapshots of the Apostle Paul Worksheets
This is a fun and different project that I have done for years.
