This week In Preschool…

CNX Kids learned: ” Love Is Not Angry!

This Sunday, Crew Chief Carl and his pal Sparky taught us that “Love is Not Angry!” They showed us how Paul did not get angry when others were mean to him in Acts 21:17-22. Even though the people had hurt him, Paul did not get angry. He showed LOVE to the people by telling them that Jesus is God’s Son! When we control our anger, we are showing LOVE to others! Even if someone does something unkind to us, we remember that: “Love Is Not Angry!”

In Elementary School…

CNX Kids learned: ” Love Is Not Happy With Evil!”

Today in CNX Kids, off-road racing extraordinaire Eugene Euclid Eubanks told us the story of when Paul meets Jesus in Acts 9. In this Bible story, Paul was being evil by trying to hurt people who loved Jesus.  Since Jesus loved Paul and the people he was trying to hurt, Jesus wasn’t happy that Paul was being evil.  Even though Jesus was not happy with the evil Paul was doing, Jesus still loved him and wanted to become his friend. Jesus loves everyone and that’s why He is not happy with evil! Because Jesus loves us, He is not happy when others are evil to us or when we are evil to others! If we want to show love like Jesus, we should not be happy with evil either!

“Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not want what belongs to others. It does not brag. It is not proud. It is not rude. It does not look out for its own interests. It does not easily become angry. It does not keep track of other people’s wrongs. Love is not happy with evil. But it is full of joy when truth is spoken. It always protects. It always trusts. It always hopes. It never gives up. Love never fails.”

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Set aside time throughout the week to pray together:

Dear Jesus, thank You for not being happy when people do evil things. Help us know when we’re being mean or doing wrong + when others are being mean or doing wrong + show us what we should do! We love You! Amen.
