“You are the children that God dearly loves. So follow His example. Lead a life of love, just as Christ did.” Ephesians 5:1-2a

This Sunday we heard from Liz. We heard about her family and her work. She told us that because God first loved her, she can love her kids, her clients and her students.

“We love because He first loved us”. 1 John 4:19

Questions

1 – Do you know that God loves you?

Read 1 John 4:7-21

God’s love for us is what comes first. Before we were even born, God loved us and sent His son to die on a cross for us. Once we know this, once we believe this, God lives in us. And, we can take God’s love and share it with others. (verse 10-12)

2 – What can you do to share God’s love?

3 – Who should you love? Read Mark 12: 30-31, Matthew 5:44, John 13:34

4 – So, as we end our series, can you answer the question? What does a follower of Jesus look like? And now, are you ready to be a follower of Jesus? What will you do to imitate Jesus?

Activity

The snow is gone. Let’s go outside. Gather your family and head outside for a game of Follow the Leader. Afterwards, pray together. Thank God for His love and ask Him to help you love others.
