Boys and girls, many of you enjoy mystery stories. Sometimes they’re called “whodunits,” because something has happened and we don’t yet know who is responsible. As the story unfolds, we’re given clues. Each clue helps us think a little harder, and the more clues we gather, the closer we come to solving the mystery.
Life has mysteries too. The greatest mystery of all is God. Who is this God who created the universe? Who is this God who created each one of us? We ask those questions, and we look for clues.
The clearest clue of all comes from Jesus. He tells us that God is love. And then He shows us what that love looks like by the way He lives. If we want to understand God better, we begin by imitating that love — loving others as He loves us.
When we choose kindness, forgiveness, and generosity, we get a small glimpse into what God’s life is like. It brings joy. It brings peace. And it gives us a hint of what heaven will be like. One day, we won’t need clues anymore. In heaven, the mystery will be fully revealed, and we will see God face to face.

Good morning, boys and girls. What are some things every human being needs in order to live? That’s right — we need air to breathe and food to eat. What else? Yes, water.
Did you know that our bodies are made up mostly of water? Scientists tell us that a large portion of the human body depends on water to function properly. In fact, when scientists explore distant planets, one of the first things they search for is water. Why? Because where there is water, there might be life.
Water is essential for living things.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus says, “Whoever drinks the water I give will never thirst again. The water I give will become a spring inside, flowing to eternal life.” Do you think He was talking about an ordinary cup of water? No. Jesus was speaking about something deeper.
He was talking about the love of God living inside us — a love that refreshes our hearts and strengthens our spirits. When we allow God’s love to fill us, it becomes like a spring that never runs dry.
So yes, water is important for life. But even more important is staying connected to God’s love. Let’s show that we are drinking from His living water by the way we treat others — with kindness, patience, and generosity.

Good morning, girls and boys. In our Bible reading today, Jesus says, “I must do the work of the One who sent Me.” He was talking about the mission God gave Him here on earth.
Just as Jesus had work to do, we also have work that God asks of us. And we learn about that work in the Bible — our guide for living with purpose and joy.
As followers of Jesus, we can share God’s love in simple but powerful ways. We can listen carefully when someone needs to talk. We can share with those who have less. We can offer kindness to someone who is hurting.
You already understand what responsibility means. As students, you have schoolwork during the week and sometimes homework afterward. Your parents also have responsibilities at their jobs.
But God’s work for us is different. It doesn’t stop at a certain hour. Loving others isn’t a part-time assignment — it’s a full-time calling. Seven days a week. Twenty-four hours a day. That’s right — 24/7.
And the most important work of all? Loving one another. So let’s begin today.

Good morning, boys and girls! Did you know the Bible tells us that Jesus walked on water? Imagine seeing that! His disciples were in a boat when they saw Him coming toward them across the lake.
Once, a child heard this story and said, “Maybe that means Jesus couldn’t swim!” That’s a funny answer — but we know the story is about something much bigger than swimming.
Jesus performed miracles to show who He was and to help people believe. He healed the sick. He turned water into wine at a wedding celebration. He even raised Lazarus from the dead. Each miracle pointed to the truth that He was sent by God.
But let’s think about another miracle — one we sometimes overlook. Look around the room. Look at yourself. In all the cities, in all the countries, in the entire world, there is no one exactly like you.
That uniqueness is a miracle. You are wonderfully made and deeply loved. And God has prepared a place for you in His eternal kingdom. That is the miracle of God’s love.

Good morning, girls and boys. Today we’re going to talk about two important words: loyalty and betrayal.
What does loyalty mean? It means standing by someone. It means supporting them and speaking well of them. It means being faithful and dependable.
Betrayal is the opposite. It happens when trust is broken — when someone lets another person down.
In our Bible lesson, we learn that Jesus was betrayed by one of His own disciples — Judas Iscariot. At the Last Supper, Jesus said, “One of you will betray Me.” He knew that someone who claimed to follow Him would soon turn against Him.
Just like the other disciples, we are called to be loyal followers of Jesus. That means living out His teachings every day. When we stop doing the good we know we should do, we drift away from that loyalty. But here is the good news: God never gives up on us. He is always ready to forgive and help us begin again.
You all know the game “Follow the Leader.” If you don’t follow, you’re out. But when we follow Jesus — the greatest Leader of all — we are never out. We are always invited to stay in the game, walking on God’s side.
