Sunday School Curriculum <strong>Grade</strong> 5<br />
As <strong>the</strong>y were going down <strong>the</strong> road <strong>the</strong>y came across some water. The Ethiopian treasurer <strong>the</strong>n<br />
asked St. Philip to baptize him. St. Philip wanted to confirm that he believed in Jesus Christ<br />
before he baptized him. The man answered and said: ―I believe that Jesus Christ is <strong>the</strong> Son <strong>of</strong><br />
God‖ (Acts 8:37). St. Philip immediately took him down to <strong>the</strong> water and baptized him.<br />
When <strong>the</strong>y came out from <strong>the</strong> water, <strong>the</strong> spirit caught St. Philip to ano<strong>the</strong>r city called Azotus<br />
where he continued to preach. The Ethiopian treasurer saw him no more but he was rejoicing and<br />
very happy to become a Christian.<br />

What we learn from this lesson:<br />
Conclusion:<br />
We must believe that <strong>the</strong> Lord Jesus Christ is <strong>the</strong> Son <strong>of</strong> God and is our Savior and that<br />
<strong>the</strong> baptism is essential for us to inherit <strong>the</strong> kingdom <strong>of</strong> heaven and to be with our Lord<br />
Jesus Christ eternally.<br />
The Lord cared about everyone, Jews and gentiles. He wanted to spread <strong>the</strong> good news to<br />
all and <strong>the</strong>refore, <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit guided St. Philip to preach to a gentile.<br />
Notice how St. Philip was ready to tell <strong>the</strong> Ethiopian man about Jesus Christ<br />
immediately. We should also be ready to tell o<strong>the</strong>rs about our belief and religion anytime<br />
we are asked.<br />
Also notice how important to seek guidance from spiritual individuals to understand <strong>the</strong><br />
Bible.<br />
Applications:<br />
Choose a trusted servant or a priest to help you understand unclear things in <strong>the</strong> Bible.<br />
Read <strong>the</strong> book <strong>of</strong> acts this month, one chapter every day. The servant should run a quick<br />
discussion about what was read every week with <strong>the</strong> students.<br />
Write a short 2 or 3 page project about Baptism.<br />
