Hands-On Faith for Families - Week of December 23, 2024

Focus on the Family's "Hands-on Faith for Families" activity encourages families to practice patient love through a quiet game, exploring what it means to show godly love in everyday situations. By participating in this hands-on faith experience, families can learn valuable lessons from 1 Corinthians 13:4 and develop a deeper understanding of what it truly means to love others patiently.

Hands-on Faith for Families – Week of December 23, 2024

Theme: Put on Love

Love Is Patient

Scripture: Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast. (1 Corinthians 13:4 ESV)

Play: Play “the quiet game” and see who can go the longest without speaking or making a sound.

Talk: It takes a lot of patience to sit quietly and wait when you really want to talk or play. In 1 Corinthians 13:4, the Bible tells us that real love, godly love, is patient. Sometimes, that might mean that we give others the benefit of the doubt if they hurt us. Other times, it might mean that we keep quiet instead of arguing when we disagree with someone. How else can you show patient love to others?

Pray: Pray that God will help you to love others patiently.
