In this third week of our series, we learned that one of their jobs is to be a good citizen of their community and world. The kids learned that they can change the world by changing themselves. We explained that God wants us to live an unselfish life and that it is our job to share the love of Jesus with everyone we encounter.
We talked about the people that Jesus spent his time with and how we can affect the lives of the people we spend our time with.
In our small groups, we discussed the following questions:
- What have you done to make a difference in the world? We talked about ways that the kids have touched the world around them. Most kids have participated in some form of charitable giving, food drives, or service projects. The kids shared the experiences that they and their families have had.
- What if everyone tried to make a difference? We talked about loving others more than we love ourselves. We imagined what would happen to the problems and suffering of the world if everyone cared more for others' needs than their own.
- How can you make a difference this week? We explained to the kids that they are never too young to make a difference. We discussed ways that they could share Christ's love with others this week and encouraged them to pray for others this week and to ask God to show them how they can make a difference.
