💡 Big Idea: Nothing in this world compares to God’s love.
📖 Memory Verse: John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
🔍 Theme Hook: Discovering true love despite the Valentine’s Day hype
Kids hear about “love” everywhere in February—candy hearts, crushes, and silly movies—but those messages are confusing and don’t last. Sometimes, “love” sounds like it’s just about feelings or gifts, and that can leave kids feeling left out or unsure what real love is.
The LOVE of God 4-week series helps children look past all the Valentine’s Day hype to discover what real love looks like in the Bible. Each week, we’ll investigate a new story that spells L-O-V-E and shows why God’s love is the best love of all.
✝️ Gospel Connection: Across L-O-V-E, children trace the storyline of redemption: humanity’s fall, God’s rescuing pursuit, Christ’s victorious sacrifice, and the promise of eternal life. Each week points beyond “try harder” to trusting Jesus’ finished work.
