Review: Agabus had warned Paul what would
happen if he went to Jerusalem, but Paul went because "It's what the Lord
wills". A crowd took him from the temple and made such a disturbance, that
the commander took his soldiers to see what was going on. The soldiers chained
him with two chains and as they were going up the stairs, Paul asked to talk to
the people.
Paul stood on the stairs and
explained who he was and how he became a Christian and how God wanted him to
tell others about Jesus. The people were still hostile to Paul,
so the soldiers took him to the barracks.
Lesson: The scripture is Acts 23:1-35. Paul went before the council and they
were trying to discover what Paul was up to, but the people were divided
about him. Lysias, the commander, was afraid that Paul would be pulled to pieces by the
people, so he told the soldiers to take Paul back to the barracks!
[Today's Bible
Verse: Acts 23:11] That night the Lord
came to Paul and told him “Be of good cheer. You have
talked about Jesus in Jerusalem and now you have to tell others in Rome.” 
The next day, over 40 Jews got together
and made a pact that they wouldn’t eat or drink until Paul was dead. When
Paul’s nephew (Paul’s sister’s son) heard about them planning to kill Paul, he
went to the barracks and told Paul. Paul called to one of the centurions and
told him to “Take my nephew to Lysias, the commander. He has something to tell him.”
Lysias
took Paul’s nephew aside and asked privately what he wanted to tell him. Paul's nephew
told the commander about the plot to have Paul killed. He said that over 40 men
are waiting and plan to kill Paul. Lysias told him not to tell anyone.
The commander, Lysias, called for two centurions and said “Prepare 200 soldiers, 70 horsemen, 200 spearmen to go to
Caesarea during the night. Have a mount for Paul and take him to Felix, the Governor.”
The soldiers did what they were commanded. The soldiers took Paul about
halfway, and then went back to Jerusalem while the horsemen continued to
Caesarea with Paul to the where the Roman governor was in charge.
After
traveling about 60 miles, Paul and the soldiers arrived safely in Caesarea and
after Felix read the letter from the Lysias the commander, Felix put Paul
in Herod’s headquarters to wait until Paul's accusers arrived to testify
against him.

For today's project, we have this clock. You can print it in color, or in black and white. You can use the black and white to print on colored paper if you prefer. You can also just cut the hands out and use a brad to attach them, or the kids can cut everything and glue onto 12x12 paper to make a poster. You can print it here:
