Paul’s Second Missionary Journey: Lydia and the Jailer — Junior High Sunday School Lesson

Free Junior High Sunday school lesson on Acts 16:1–40. The reviewed seven-page edition with a printed source study and teen discussion prompt includes passage-specific volunteer background, timed plan, teacher key, and family page. Students examine God’s guidance, Lydia’s response and hospitality, the exploitation of a slave girl, Paul and Silas in prison, the jailer’s question, the household hearing God’s word, and Paul’s later request for public acknowledgment of wrongdoing. The lesson keeps Jesus’ death, resurrection, and salvation through faith in him central.

Memory: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” Acts 16:31, KJV. Read verse 32 too: the household heard the word. This is not a claim that one relative’s faith automatically saves others. Read the chapter in your preferred translation.
