REAL LOVE: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON JESUS' TEACHINGS
WEEK 2 BIG IDEA: I can show God's love by being kind.

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!

According to Jesus, changing the world starts is less about big dramatic acts and more about showing love in small and personal ways. That's what you do every week when you champion and care for teenagers. Here's a reminder from Jeff Wallace about what it takes to change the world.
