Worship this week

Let it turn your attention.

  • Build My Life — Pat Barrett / Housefires
  • Jesus We Love You — Bethel Music

Ask Jesus to turn what you sing into concrete love for the people around you.

Family time

Don't walk alone.

Bring the same conversation you have been having with Jesus home. You do not need a polished answer — just an honest one.

Your turn, kids — ask your parent(s)

  1. 1Who has Jesus given you to love? What are you doing to love them?
  2. 2Have you ever given up on the body of Christ or the church because you got hurt?
  3. 3What are we doing as a family to love others in Skyline?
  4. 4Are you involved in a ministry at Skyline? Do you love the people you minister to?

Kids, ask your parent: “Who is someone hard for you to love, and how are you asking Jesus to help?”

Pray together

Jesus, show us who You have placed in front of us. Teach us to love intentionally, humbly, sacrificially, graciously, truthfully, and consistently.
