THOSE People

One of the issues that has plagued the human race for centuries is the issue of prejudice. Prejudice is when we have bad feelings toward a certain group of people just because of the way they look, the way they act, or the color of their skin, whatever! Sadly, this issue has been around in the church for centuries as well. Peter dealt with it—prejudice against anyone who was a non-Jew. He didn’t think that the gospel was for anyone who wasn’t a Jew by birth. God had other plans. In this lesson, the children will learn about dealing with prejudice through the experience Peter had with Cornelius in the book of Acts. They will learn that God has a SUPER love for everyone. We must show that love to all people and destroy prejudice!
