Bible Story: God So Loved the World (John 3:14-21)
WHAT YOU DO

Talk about each of the questions to keep the conversation going
Do the activity together to have some fun and reinforce the big idea!
Talk It Through Together
Question of the day! (all ages!)
Go around the room and ask the question: “What was the best part of your week this week?”
Questions for 1st-3rd Graders
What was the name of the man who came to talk to Jesus in today’s story? (Nicodemus)
In John 3, what did God do because He loved us so much? (Sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins)
How do we receive God’s saving gift? (We ask Jesus to live in our hearts and help us in the way we should live!)
How does it make you feel to know that LOVE is the foundation of God’s plans for you?
Questions for 4th-5th Graders
In John 3, what did God do because He loved us so much?
How do we receive God’s saving gift?
Read Ephesians 2:10, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”
What is something that you think God is teaching you?
How does it make you feel to know that LOVE is the foundation of God’s plans for you?
3. DO IT // ACTIVITY
ACTIVITY 1: Name Tag
Because God loves us, we can be confident in who we are! God’s love is the foundation for our lives, and nothing can shake that foundation.
Using the “name tag” from the March Church Kit (or make your own!), write down a word that describes who you are because of God’s love! (such as creative, loved, or leader)! Keep it somewhere you can see it this week!
ACTIVITY 2: Paper Tower
Use 15 sheets of white copy paper to try and build the tallest tower that you can in only 10 minutes! How many inches tall will yours be?
When building a tower the most important part is the foundation! Without a strong foundation, the rest of the tower will just collapse. Today, we discovered that LOVE is the foundation of God’s plan for the world!
YOU DID IT!
Continue the conversation all week by talking about how Jesus helps us with what we need.
