Teaching the Book of Acts in Sunday School
These printable sheets provide a reliable visual aid for lessons about the early Christian church. As children color the missionary journeys, they can learn about the geography of the ancient Mediterranean and the challenges of early travel. The images show the apostles traveling by wooden boat and preaching the Gospel in various synagogues.
Discussing the story of Barnabas, whose name means Son of Encouragement, helps students understand the value of supporting others in their faith.
Historical Details in the Illustrations
The drawings include authentic elements from the first century to give context to the biblical narratives. You will find everyday items like a clay amphora jug, woven travel satchels, and baskets of flatbread. These details help ground the spiritual stories in a real historical setting.
- Sailing to Cyprus: Shows the apostles navigating the sea to share their message.
- Preaching in Antioch: Depicts the stone architecture of an ancient Roman city.
- Healing in Lystra: Illustrates the dramatic events and miracles recorded in scripture.
Recommended Supplies for Bible Scenes
Earth tones like ochre, terracotta, and olive green work well for the everyday items and woven clothing of the era. Use colored pencils for the fine details on maps, scrolls, and facial expressions.
Crayons are suitable for younger children coloring the larger crowd scenes. Blending different shades of blue and green can bring the Mediterranean Sea to life in the background of the travel pictures.
