Lesson: Acts 10:35 (Ages 3-5)

📖 Acts 10:35 – Ages 3-5

Explanation

God loves everyone, no matter where they come from. If we love and respect God and try to do what is good and right, He is happy with us. It's like when you share your toys with your friends and are kind to others, God smiles because you are doing what is right. Just like how friends from different places can play together and have fun, people from all over the world who love God and do good things are special to Him.

Kid's Story

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there was a little bunny named Benny. Benny loved hopping around and making friends with all the animals in the forest. One day, Benny met a squirrel named Sammy, who was from a different part of the forest.

At first, Benny and Sammy weren't sure if they could be friends because they were different. But as they played together, they realized that even though they came from different places, they both loved to have fun and be kind to each other.

Benny and Sammy learned that no matter where they were from, as long as they respected each other and did what was right, they could be friends. Just like how in Acts 10:35, God loves everyone who respects Him and does what is right, no matter where they come from. Benny and Sammy became the best of friends, showing that love and kindness are what truly matter.
