CHILD-FRIENDLY - GOOD NEIGHBOUR

Memory Verse: “Love your neighbour as yourself.” — Matthew 22:39

 

-Who Is My Neighbour?

A neighbour is anyone around you—your friend, classmate, someone on your street, or even someone you don’t know yet! 

Jesus teaches us that everyone is our neighbour, and we should treat them with love, kindness, and care.

What Does It Mean to Be a Good Neighbour? 

- Say hello and be friendly. 

- Help others when they need it. 

- Be kind to people, even if they’re different from you. 

- Share, care, and show love like Jesus did.

Bible Story: The Good Samaritan

Jesus told a story about a man who was hurt. Many people passed by and didn’t help. But one man—a Samaritan—stopped, helped, and showed love. 

Jesus said the Samaritan was the true neighbour because he showed compassion.

WHY IT MATTERS 

- God wants us to love everyone, not just our friends. 

- Being a good neighbour makes the world a better place. 

- When we love others, we show that God’s love is in us.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS 

1. How do you show kindness to people around you? 

2. Do you know your neighbours’ names? 

3. How can you help someone who is sad or in need? 

4. What can you learn from the Good Samaritan?

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Fill my heart with love, kindness, and compassion for everyone I meet. Help me to be a good neighbour in my words and actions. Teach me to serve others and show Your love to all, no matter who they are.  Amen.

Shalom

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
