It’s All About Air
OBJECTS: Picture of lungs
What’s something you do all day, every day, no matter where you are, no matter if you are asleep or awake? Yes, you breathe! It is something that your body does automatically and is so natural that you don’t even think about it.
You breathe air in through your nose and the air goes down a tube (the trachea) in your throat which branches into two tubes (the bronchi) which takes the air into your lungs. (Show picture.) Your lungs are two marvelous organs in your chest, located behind your ribs, that process oxygen and send it to the rest of your body. If you put your hand on your chest you will feel your lungs working – getting larger and smaller as you breathe in and out.
When you were born the first thing you did was breathe. You began your new life by breathing in air.
As we read the Bible we discover that a similar thing happened after Jesus had returned to heaven and the new church was formed.
Many followers of Jesus were gathered together and the Bible tells us that “suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting” (2:2). And then we learn that “they were all filled with the Holy Spirit…” (2:4).

The Language of Love
OBJECT: None
Do you know anyone who speaks a language different than your own? What happens when you try to talk with a person who does not speak your language? Yes, you have trouble understanding each other.
I’ve asked some people from our congregation, who speak other languages, to demonstrate how this works. (Use this time to have foreign speakers talk to the children and each other, then translate what has been said. This could consist of greetings, common phrases, or familiar Bible verses.)
Learning a foreign language is difficult. You must listen carefully to what is being said and trust, at some point, you will understand.
When God sent His Spirit to be with the people of this world the Bible tells us that those people “were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak” (2:4).
