This Changes Everything

For Elementary

Sometimes there are moments that happen quickly – a balloon pops, a door slams, a cup of milk spills. These things happen in a flash. Sometimes we don’t even know they’re happening until it’s too late. In a moment, Paul’s life changed – he met Jesus and his life suddenly looked much differently. Paul was on his way to persecute Christians but instead ended up starting churches and writing more books of the New Testament than anyone else. Paul’s life is a crazy, action-packed journey filled with twists and turns where we discover that saying “YES” to Jesus changes everything. "This Changes Everything" comes complete with PDF lesson sheets, screen slides, social images, and more! Note: This series is not video based, but includes all the lessons, supply list, and graphics/slides you need.
