Paul Brings Eutychus Back to Life - Acts 20:7-12
Here’s what happens…
Paul is preaching late at night. A young man named Eutychus is seated in a window. Eutychus falls asleep and falls out the window to his death! But Paul, through God’s power, brings him back to life. What a miracle!
Bible Point:
God is miraculous, and he works through us.
Through the Week
- Hang up a reminder to watch for times God wants to work through you. You might hang an exclamation point or a drawing of Eutychus on a window near your door or in your car.
- Whenever you go anywhere, look at the reminder and ask God to help you listen to his direction.
- When you feel like God wants to do something through you, do it! Remember, it doesn’t have to be bringing a dead man back to life; it might be a simple wave or an encouraging word that changes someone’s day.
- Each day at dinner, talk with your family about how God worked through you that day.
