New Beginnings

Loving God First

"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart."
Matthew 22:37

Reflection

Jesus said this is the greatest commandment of all. Loving God first puts everything else in the right place, like the first button on a shirt.

Prayer

God, I want to love You with all my heart. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. What does it mean to love God with all your heart?
  2. Why does Jesus call this the greatest commandment?
  3. How does putting God first help everything else?

5-minute activity

Button a shirt starting with the wrong button and see how it ends up crooked. Then do it again starting with the first one. Talk about loving God first. Read Matthew 22:36-39.
