REAL LOVE: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON JESUS' TEACHINGS
WEEK 1 BIG IDEA: God loves everyone. 

SERIES OVERVIEW:

We are always teaching our kids that we need to love God and love one another, but often times neglect to give them tangible ways to do so. In this series, we are going to examine a few of Jesus' teachings in depth and discover practical ways we can demonstrate our love for God, family, friends, and enemies, too! Our hope is that by the end of this series, every kid will be able to say, because God loves everyone, I can show God's love by being kind, I can show God's love even when it's hard, and that ultimately, love is the best choice!

It can be a challenge to figure out how to disciple kids, or to know whether or not you're making a difference. If that sounds familiar, try thinking about spiritual growth in terms of these four spiritual habits: spending time with God, spending time with others in healthy community, sharing your story, and using your gifts to serve.

If you're subscribed to Grow Your Ministry, now would be a good time to link to Volunteer Tip Video #1 from your Volunteer section.

At least once this month, choose a volunteer to celebrate. Add their picture and a few sentences about what makes them awesome!
