- (Speak with the children)
- When you read the Bible or study about God,
you learn that some things are wrong for you to do. It could
be, telling a lie, cheating in a game or at school, stealing
from someone, or some other bad thing. Can you think of other
things God tells us is wrong? God has told you not to do these
things, but sometimes you do not obey what He has said. This
is called "sin." Talk about what it means to obey God.
-
- (Teach the children)
- God knew we needed to be rescued from our
sins. He sent His Son, Jesus to save us. Jesus was God's only
Son, and He did not sin. Jesus took the punishment that God was
going to give to us when He died on the cross. Jesus is our wonderful
Valentine from God!

Repeat today's Bible verse.
- When we ask Jesus, He will put God's love
in our hearts. God's Holy Spirit can help us know good things
from bad. He can teach us how to love others with God's great
love. He will teach us to rescue others by showing them His love.
He wants us to thank Him for what He has done for us. Jesus wants
us to love Him not just for what He does for us, but because
He is God.
Worship God with music.
