Teaching One candle lights another by the fire

God is love, and we can love each other because He loved us first.

  • Who loved you before you could even say their name - who was there caring for you when you were a tiny baby?
  • The Bible says God loved us first, before we ever loved Him. Why do you think that is such good news?
  • If God's love is like a warm fire we pass on, who could you share some warmth with today?
