You before me


Don’t stop at accepting Jesus’ love for yourself. Put it into action by putting others first!

In this four-part series, kids will learn that knowing about God’s love means nothing if we don’t accept it for ourselves and express it to others. We’ll find out what loving God and loving others looks like—accepting God’s forgiveness and extending it to others through love, forgiveness, and selfless service.

During April, the children’s ministry will be focusing on forgiving others, being less selfish, and loving like God. Dot’s brother makes an appearance in Week 2, and you’ll want to be sure to be a part of the drama as it plays out.

Week 4: So annoying!

God chooses not to be annoyed with me, so I’ll choose not to be annoyed with others. Romans 12:18 says, “Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.”


Week 3: Copy Jesus’ love

Ephesians 5:2 says, “Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ…”


Week 2: Stop being selfish

Philippians 2:3 says, “Don’t be selfish…Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.”


Week 1: Forgive others

Colossians 3:13 says, “Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.”
