WEEK 1 LESSON: February 2, 2025
G2K: Jesus does everything out of love.
Memory Verse: Psalm 77:14 - “You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.”
Bible Lesson: Jesus Turns Water into Wine: John 2:1-12; 1 Corinthians 13:1-7
WEEKLY CHALLENGE: This week, we taught the kids that everything Jesus does is out of LOVE! With knowing that, our motivations for everything we do should be out of our love for God. When we love God, our actions toward others are also loving. We could have all the treasures and accomplishments in the world, but all of it would mean nothing if we did not have love. To reinforce this lesson, use this activity.
Instructions: For this week's activity, print your kids a copy of the Miracle Jar printable and fold it in half like a card. Have them color the inside page blue using crayons, markers, or watercolor paint. Have them cut out the middle portion of the jar, then tape the card closed on the side and bottom. Then, taking a half sheet of purple or red construction paper, trim the edges so that they slide into the opening at the top, turning the “water” into “wine.” See a worked example here.
Today, we learned that Jesus turned water into wine to demonstrate his power as the son of God, his love for God’s people, and his concern for the things they cared about. Jesus does everything out of love, and we should too.
FAMILY TIME: Use these questions to start a conversation with your children about this week’s lesson.
Read 1 Corinthians 13:4. How does this verse describe love? How do these words describe Jesus?
What do you think it means to do something out of love? Can you think of one way you can do this?
What is one way God has shown you the miracle of love in your life?
