Awesome Language

"All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them."
-Acts 2:4 (theMESSAGE)

Awesome Language
a. Have you ever seen Japanese? (Pull out a sheet of paper with Japanese/Chinese writings on it, have a kid come up and try to read it)
b. You have no idea what it says, but you know it says something.

1. Completely Consumed
a. On the Day of Pentecost, Peter's church met in the upper room where the Holy Spirit came upon them.
b. The bible says that it came upon them like tounges of fire!
c. Each one of them began to speak in other languages!

2. Completely Confused
a. People walking by heard all these different languages coming from the other room.
b. They were confused at first, then they mocked Peter's church.
c. Peter stood up for his church and his God.

3. Competely Crazy
a. It sounds funny when people speak in tongues if you've never heard it before.
b. Sometimes people speak in a language that NO ONE but God speaks!
c. The devil doesn't know what we're saying when we speak in toungues. We can come to God without him knowing and pray for anything!
d. Sometimes we pray in tongues to pray for things we didn't know were happening!

Altar Call
Pray with kids to be filled with the Holy Spirit, evidenced by speaking in tongues.

Thx for reading these kids sermon notes! Haha!
