The people were so excited to hear Paul preach, he preached all day! The lamps were lit and Eutychus fell asleep and fell out of the window. Review: Last week we studied about a silversmith from Ephesus called Demetrius. He made a lot of money-making silver idols called Diana. He heard about Paul preaching about idols made from hands were not the real God to worship. He called other silversmiths together to warn them and try to stop Paul. There was a crowd shouting and most of them didn’t even know what was going on! A city clerk finally quieted the people down and told Demetrius to go to court if he thought Paul was a problem. Lesson: Today's lesson is found in Acts 20:7-12. Read Acts 20:7 Paul and some other Christians sailed to Troas. They were there 7 days, and on the first day of the week…which is??…Sunday, the Christians gathered together to worship and break bread, just as Jesus commanded them to. Here’s another example of why we worship and have communion EVERY first day, which is Sunday, of the week. Not just when we feel like it, or on special days. The Bible says the first day of the week. Paul was planning to leave the next day, so he preached all day… until midnight!! Another part of worship that Jesus told us to do, on the first day of the week, is preaching. The people had a lot of lamps lit. They were together in an upper room. There was a young man named Eutychus. He started to fall asleep, a deep sleep! Eutychus fell asleep and while Paul kept preaching, he fell out of the window! He fell from the third floor and died. Paul went down to him and fell on Eutychus. Paul held him and told everyone “Don’t worry! There’s life in him.” The people went back to the upper room and ate and talked until the sun rose. Then Paul left and the people were thankful that Paul had brought Eutychus back to life. They were thankful that they had gotten to spend time listening to Paul preach. Make Time for Jesus Watches in color 9:00 Make Time for Jesus Watches in black & White 9:00 Let's talk a little bit about worship, and why we are even here. First of all, God told us to worship Him on the first day of the week. We know that is Sunday. We worship in the church building. The people are the church. He didn't tell us how long to worship, but He did tell us how He wants us to do it. There are 5 specific parts of worship He commanded. We are going to have a lesson about worship, so we will just talk about the basics that God wants. Paul wrote about worship in his letters, and we are going to study about some of Paul's letters when we are finished with this study of Acts. Click here to print the worship booklet. Romans 16:16 ASV The churches of Christ greet you. NKJV The Churches of Christ salute you. salute: to pay respect to or show honor, possibly by raising the right hand to the side of headgear A church building can't greet or salute anyone, so the people are the church. Can a church building say Hey, (Hi, or Hello), how are you? That is how we greet someone, or shake their hand or give a hug. Can a church building do that? No, of course not, so the people are the church, the church building is a ... church building. Parts of worship that Jesus told us to do on the first (Acts 20:7) day of the week are: 1. Take communion Acts 20:7 2. Sing Ephesians 5:19 3. Preach Acts 20:7 (about what, Who, and where do we get our knowledge from?) 4. Give 2 Corinthians 9:7 (what & why) 5. Pray 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (to who?) I used Acts 20:7 for several, just because they go with our Bible lesson today. You can print the worship booklet here. The early Christians worshipped God with the same rules that we have. But, when all the disciples of Jesus that had the power to perform miracles died, then miraculous works died too. God doesn't give people the ability to perform miracles, like Paul brought Eutychus back to life. They were given the power to show people that didn't believe in Jesus, what He could do through them. I wanted a super simple worksheet for the students to review what we discussed about worship. So, this download has the hand you see and a blank page with a title for them to draw their hand and fill in the answers. Click here to download. Click here to print the Eutychus worksheet. You can find all the Acts worksheets here. Click here to download the updated visuals. All are not shown. These include all visuals for Acts 20. Click here to download the pictures to color.

Copyright © 1982 by Thomas Nelson. Used by permission. I was asked about miracles in a comment below and thought I would add some scripture here to answer it. We once sent out a letter to different religions asking about their beliefs for an adult Bible study. A couple letters that were filled out and returned were answered with apparent anger. I don't know why. Anyway, we received about 25 answer sheets back and only one, ONE, had scripture to back up their answers. Every single answer. That staggered me. And, yes, it was from a Church of Christ. Anyway, for any biblical questions, the answer should be searched for in the Bible. That is all that matters. What does God want or say about it? My simplest answer for my students is Jesus gave the power of miracles to His disciples and they could give it to some people. But, those people could not pass it on. They have all since died. So, over 2,000 years later, there isn't anyone alive with the ability to do miracles like Jesus did. Instantly. Without doctors (Jesus is the Great Physician), hospitals, physical therapy or medicine. Acts 8:14-18 1 Corinthians 12:8-10 connects 1 Corinthians 13:8-10 Here are some articles to help answer this question much better than I can: What Does the Bible say About Miracles? Have Miracles Ceased? Do Miracles Happen Today? Have Miracles Ceased? When Did Miracles Cease? Are There Miracles Today?
