a. “Back Track”
Review
Last week we learnt a tree is recognized by its fruit. You cannot
live life without God and produce good fruit. You cannot be the “good”
person that God desires on your own. You need the power of the Holy
Spirit to work in you and through you.
If we connect to Jesus, we will produce beautiful leaves and delicious
fruit. But if we are separated from Jesus, our leaves will wither
and die.

God’s love is immeasurable
Object Lessons: Bring out some instruments that
are used for measuring different things in life: a tape measure
for length, width, and height, a watch to measure time, and a measuring
cup for baking and cooking. Ultimately, in numerous parts of the
Bible, it’s taught that God’s love is higher than the
heavens (and wider/longer), that God’s love overflows
for you (this is where you can use the measuring cup), and
that God’s love will last eternally.
Love in action
Many people believe that love is a feeling or emotion. Yes, feelings
and emotions are involved in love but the greatest part of love
is action oriented. Love is a verb (what you do) more than
a noun (a feeling). Love must be action and not just words,
Imagine if Jesus, just before going to the
cross, went to the garden and thought; I hate this feeling, I don’t
feel like doing this, therefore I will base my decision upon what
I feel. If that had happened, we’d all be hopelessly doomed
to hell. The good news of course is that Jesus resisted and fought
back His feelings and even though He prayed three times to have
the cup removed, He was more interested in doing the will of the
Father than what He felt like doing…thankfully. Jesus displayed
His love by willingly going to the cross and dying for us. Love
is not dependent upon feelings and emotions because feelings are
one of the shallowest and most unreliable of all human emotions.
Instead we must emphasize that love is a choice more than a feeling.
Love is a choice one has to make, not so
much a feeling we choose to have. Is there any greater love than
one that was displayed on the cross? Jesus said that “This
is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life
for his friends” (John 15:12-13). The opposite
of love is not hatred because in hatred there are at least some
emotions but the opposite of love is indifference, not caring. We
can show love to one another by putting others first and thinking
of them more than ourselves, loving them like Christ loves us. After
we learn His love for us and our love for Him can overflow into
the people around us.
Words without Love.
Object lesson: (Start crashing your pot lids together.)
“Did you like this music I’m playing on the cymbals?”
“No? Hmmm. I don’t blame you. It’s a terrible
sound isn’t it? It makes you cringe.” Paul explains
that words without love are like a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal,
just like these cymbals!
(Clang together two large metal pot lids)
He means that when we do a lot of talking without love we are really
making just a terrible noise that no one wants to listen to. For
example, if I say “Get out of the way, you are annoying me.”
It sounds like (Bash your cymbals.) No one wants to listen
to that. However, when I’m acting in love my words will be
a lot easier to listen. (Play or get someone to sing a nice
song)
Read 1 Corinthians 13:1-8a.
Have the children raise their hands every time they hear a description
of love.

Looking on the inside:
Object Lessons: Framed picture of an
African family. |
What am I holding in my hand? (Allow time for response.) Yes, this is a picture of an African family. I do not even know their names. I purchased the frame with the picture inside.
What can you tell me by looking at the picture? (Such as color of skin, hair, eyes, clothing). But do you know the child's name? Do you know where he lives? If he has a brother or sister? Do you think he goes to school? We can guess, but we know very little about this child. Really the picture tells us very little. But there is someone who knows all about you.. Can someone tell me who that is? (Pause) Yes, that person is Jesus.
God knows all about us. We may only see what
is on the outside what others see. But God sees what is on the inside.
He knows what we are thinking. He knows the thoughts in our heart.
And Jesus loves you -- and He loves me that is how we can love others.
6. APPLICATION / RENCONTRER DIEU
Invite the children to bring their little
heart to the altar to lay them at the foot of Jesus and thank Him
for His immeasurable love. Let them talk about a time when they
really felt loved. Pray and ask Him to help us to love as he has
commanded us, love in action, helping us to speak kind, loving words,
always looking at the inside instead of on the outside judging people.
PRIER DE CLOUTURE:
Let children stand in a heart shape, holding
hands and pray Heavenly Father, help us to love you with all of
our heart and to love our neighbours as we love ourselves. Thank
you for always loving us and allowing us to share that love with
everyone we meet. Help us always to walk in your love so that our
words will a beautiful sound and an encouragement to others. Amen.
