SPRING LESSONS
JANUARY
Just as seasons come and go, so do our emotions. And how we choose to handle those emotions can shape us and teach us a lot about how God cares for us. Jesus showed us how to face life with resilience, and because of it, we can trust God no matter what.
- Week 1 Jesus Wept // John 11:1-45 // When you’re sad, remember you’re not alone.
- Week 2 Do Not Worry // Matthew 6:25-34 // When you’re worried, trust God.
- Week 3 Slow to Anger // James 1:19 // When you’re angry, talk to God.
- Week 4 Paul and Silas //Acts 16:16-40 // God can help you choose joy.

God is one of a kind—with no beginning and no end. Everything God has created is unique, including people. Every person is an original reflection, made in the image of God.

We can’t always understand why things happen. But we can believe in a God who keeps promises. We can have hope—even in the toughest times—because we know God can make something good out of something bad.

MAY
God took the initiative to send Jesus because of our sin. Jesus came so that we could be brought back into a relationship with God, making things right again. When we see a need and choose to do something about it, people can see the reality of God’s love for them.
