Possible Viewpont: Evangelical Christian

Title: Telling Others About God’s Love

Bible Verse: "And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world." – 1 John 4:14

Introduction:
Hello, everyone! Today, we are going to learn about a very special message God wants us to share with others. It’s all about His love! Did you know that God loves everyone in the whole wide world? Let’s find out how we can tell others about this amazing love!

1. Understanding God’s Love:
First, let’s think about what love is. When someone cares for us, helps us when we’re sad, or shares their toys with us, that is love! God loves us even more than that. He loves us so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to be our Savior. This means He wants to be our friend forever!

2. What It Means to "Testify":
In our memory verse, it says we “testify” about God’s love. To testify means to share our stories and experiences with others. Have you ever told a friend about a fun day you had at the park? When we talk about how much God loves us, we’re sharing our own special story about Him!

3. Why Should We Tell Others?
It’s important to tell others about God’s love because some people might not know how much God cares about them. When we share about His love, we are spreading joy and happiness. Just like a candle lights up a dark room, our words about God can brighten someone’s day!

4. How Can We Share God’s Love?
Here are some fun ways we can share God’s love with others:

  • Use Kind Words: When you see someone looking sad, say something nice to them. A simple “I like your shirt!” or “You’re a great friend!” can show them God’s love.

  • Help Others: If someone needs help, like carrying books or cleaning up, lend a hand. This action shows God’s love in a big way!

  • Invite Someone to Church: If you have a friend who does not go to church, invite them to come with you! You can tell them about all the fun things we do and how much we learn about God.

5. Activity: Love Cards:
Let’s make "Love Cards" to give to our friends and family. You can draw pictures, write nice messages, or share a Bible verse. When they receive these cards, they will know that God loves them and so do you!

Conclusion:
Remember, God loves you and He wants you to tell others about that love. Just like 1 John 4:14 tells us, we can share that God sent Jesus to be our amazing friend and Savior. Let’s be brave and tell everyone we can about how much God loves them!

Closing Prayer:
Let’s pray together. Dear God, thank you for loving us so much and for giving us Jesus. Help us to share Your love with everyone around us. Give us the courage to use our words and actions to show others how special they are to You. Amen.

Title: Sharing God’s Love through Our Stories

Props Needed:
1. A large heart cut out from red construction paper
2. A toy megaphone or a loud whistle
3. Several small paper or plastic hearts (enough for each child)
4. A stuffed animal (representing love, like a teddy bear)
5. A basket or box to hold the small hearts

Presentation Steps:

1. **Set the Scene**: Gather the children in a circle and place the large heart cutout in the center. This heart represents God’s love, which is huge and never-ending!

2. **Introduce the Verse**: Explain that the Bible tells us in 1 John 4:14 that we are to tell others about God’s love. You can say, “The Bible tells us that God loves us so much and that we should share that love with others!”

3. **Show the Megaphone**: Hold the toy megaphone. Explain that just like you would use this megaphone to be loud and clear, we need to share God’s love loudly and clearly with everyone we meet. Demonstrate this by shouting a simple phrase like “God loves you!” into the megaphone.

4. **The Stuffed Animal**: Introduce the stuffed animal. Say that just like this bear is soft and cuddly, God’s love is warm and comforting. You can hug the stuffed animal and encourage the children to give it a hug, representing how we can share warmth and love with others.

5. **Passing Out Hearts**: Hand out the small paper or plastic hearts to each child. Tell them that these hearts represent the love of God. Ask them to think of someone they can tell about God’s love or share ‘heart hugs’ with.

6. **Sharing Stories**: Encourage the children to take turns sharing either someone they want to tell about God’s love or a time when they felt God’s love. After each child shares, let them drop their heart into the basket or box, symbolizing that they are giving away God’s love.

7. **Wrap Up**: Conclude by reminding the children that they can tell others about God’s love every day! Say, “Every time you do something kind or share God’s love, you are spreading more joy in the world!”

8. **Prayer Time**: End the lesson with a short prayer, asking God to help everyone share His love in their own special ways.

This interactive demonstration, complete with props and engaging activities, will help young children understand the importance of sharing God’s love with others in a fun and memorable way!

Craft Idea

Craft Idea: “Love Letters to the World”

**Objective:** To help children express God’s love in a tangible way by creating “love letters” that they can share with others.

**Supplies Needed:**
1. Blank paper or cardstock (various colors)
2. Envelopes (optional, but adds a nice touch)
3. Crayons, colored pencils, or markers
4. Stickers (hearts, smiley faces, etc.)
5. Optional: Stamps for decorating
6. Scissors
7. Glue sticks or tape

**Instructions:**

1. **Introduction (1-2 minutes):** Start by discussing the verse from 1 John 4:14, which talks about how we are called to tell others about the love of God. Explain that the craft will help them share that love through the letters they create.

2. **Prepare the Paper (2 minutes):** Hand out sheets of blank paper or cardstock. If you have different colors, let each child choose one that they like.

3. **Decorate the Front (2-3 minutes):** Encourage the children to decorate the front of their paper using crayons, colored pencils, or markers. They can write words or phrases such as “God loves you!” or “You are special!” or draw hearts and other symbols of love.

4. **Writing the Letter (3-4 minutes):** Once the front is decorated, ask the children to write a short note inside. They can express something simple, like:
– “God loves you very much!”
– “You are a child of God!”
– “Never forget that God is always with you!”

Remind them that they can also write the names of friends, family members, or anyone they want to reach out to with God’s love.

5. **Final Touches (2 minutes):** If you have envelopes, they can fold their letters and place them inside. Otherwise, they can simply save them or fold the top to keep them safe. Let the kids decorate their envelopes as well if they are using them.

6. **Conclusion (1 minute):** Conclude by encouraging the children to give these love letters to someone they feel needs to hear about God’s love. They can share them with friends, family, or even anonymously leave them for someone to find. Remind them of the importance of spreading God’s love in the world!

**Optional Add-On:** If time allows, you can ask each child to share who they are planning to give their letter to and why, reinforcing the lesson of sharing God’s love.
