Good morning, girls and boys!
In the New Testament, the number one topic that Jesus teaches about is God’s Kingdom of Love. You probably already figured that out. But guess what the second biggest topic is? Can anyone guess?
Those are all good guesses, boys and girls — but the answer is money!
That might be a surprise, but Jesus wants us to understand something very important: we should never put money or possessions ahead of our relationship with God. Money and things are not supposed to be at the center of our lives. They are not the most important part.
There was a movie a few years ago that helps show how foolish it is to make money the center of our lives. It’s a long story, but here’s the important part: a terrible disaster happens, and only a few people survive. One of them is a man who suddenly realizes he can have anything he wants. There’s no one around to stop him. He can have all the money in the world, live in any house, drive any car, and there’s no one to tell him “no.” He even speeds without worrying about police — because there aren’t any left!
At first, that sounds exciting. But soon the man realizes something sad: all the money in the world doesn’t mean anything if there’s no one to share it with.
That’s just a science fiction story, but it teaches us a powerful lesson. If you make money and things the most important thing in your life, you might end up rich or famous — but you’ll miss out on something even better: the love God has for you.
So this week, let’s remember to be thankful for all the gifts God gives us — like nature, friends, and family. But most of all, let’s be thankful for His love. That’s worth more than anything.

Good morning, boys and girls!
It’s time to talk about money again! You might be thinking, “Why money again? We’ve talked about this before!” But you know what? Some people say that the number one sickness in the world is the love of money.
Jesus talks a lot about money in the Bible, boys and girls, because he knew that many people were “money-sick.” He didn’t say money was bad by itself — of course not. We all need money to buy things like food, clothes, and a place to live. But Jesus warned us: if we love money too much, that’s a problem.
Today we read in the Bible, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Can anyone guess what that means?
Let me help. Suppose the thing you treasure most is a toy, a game, or maybe a baseball card or a coin. What if you talked about it all the time, thought about it constantly, and ignored everything else? Would that be a good way to live?
No, of course not.
Jesus is telling us that if we care about money and things more than anything else, we’ll forget what really matters.
Now imagine treasuring something else — like God’s love. What if you treasured your Bible lessons and tried your best to follow them every day? That would be a great way to live!
And remember: when you treasure God, you’re telling Him that He lives in your heart.

Good morning, boys and girls.
Today I want to tell you a story about a little boy who went to the hospital after falling off his bike. Thankfully, he wasn’t badly hurt. The doctors and nurses checked him out and decided to keep him overnight, just to be sure he was okay.
Later, a nurse came to his room with a big glass of milk and several cookies. As the boy reached for the snack, he remembered how things were at home. At home, he had to share everything with his six brothers and sisters!
So he asked the nurse, “How much can I drink, and how much can I eat?”
The nurse smiled and said, “Eat and drink as much as you want!”
That tray of milk and cookies must have seemed like a real blessing to a boy who was used to sharing everything. And it shows something wonderful: he had a heart trained to share, even when he didn’t have to.
Jesus wants us to be like that boy. He wants us to share our blessings with others. That means not just food with the hungry, but also love with anyone who needs to feel cared for.
So how much love should you share with your brothers and sisters?
Share as much as you can!

Good morning, girls and boys.
Today in the Bible we read something Jesus said: “There are those now last who shall be first, and those now first who shall be last.” What do you think that means?
Before you answer, picture this: someone cuts ahead of everyone else in the cafeteria line. Or at the water fountain. Or maybe you’ve seen someone push to the front at the grocery store or at the movies. How does that make you feel?
Right — it’s not polite. But it’s more than just rude. It shows that the person thinks they’re more important than everyone else. They don’t want to wait their turn like everybody else does.
Well, boys and girls, Jesus has something to say about that kind of behavior.
Jesus tells us that people who do the right thing — who respect others and follow the rules — are doing God’s will. They’re showing love and kindness, just like Jesus taught us.
When we think about others before thinking about ourselves, we are acting like Jesus’ loyal followers. So the next time you’re tempted to skip ahead in line, remember: waiting your turn is the right thing to do.
And when you treat others the way Jesus taught us, you’re already at the front of the line — in God’s eyes.

Good morning, boys and girls.
There’s a true story about a famous football quarterback who was eating lunch in a restaurant. He noticed a little boy walking toward his table. The quarterback smiled, grabbed the menu, and quickly signed his autograph. He was sure the boy wanted it.
But when the boy reached the table, the quarterback handed him the signed menu. The boy looked confused and said, “No thanks, mister. Can I borrow your ketchup?”
That’s a funny story — but it also teaches us something important.
Sometimes we think we’re a big shot. And then, someone reminds us we’re just like everyone else!
Jesus teaches us about this too. He said, “If a man exalts himself, he will be humbled. But if he humbles himself, he will be exalted.”
That means if we think we’re better than everyone else, we might get a surprise — like the quarterback did! But if we stay humble and treat others kindly, God lifts us up.
So instead of trying to be the most important person in the room, try to be the most loving person in the room.
And when you do that, boys and girls — when you live with love, humility, and kindness — you become a real star in God’s eyes.
