Hands-On Faith for Families – Week of June 29, 2026

Theme: What Do You Love?

Scripture: Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. (1 John 2:15-17)

Play: Take turns being the announcer of a commercial for a product or service, trying to convince other family members to buy it. Then talk about how each commercial made you desire the item, appealed to your senses, made you feel good or bad about yourself, or convinced you that others would think better of you.

Talk: Sometimes we think we need something just because it looks, feels or tastes good, or makes us feel good about ourselves. The Bible teaches that we should love the Father more than the things of this world. According to 1 John 2:15-17, worldly things that look, feel and taste good will not last forever. Even our accomplishments will not satisfy us for long. God deserves to be first in our lives and hearts. He wants us to love Him more than earthly things. Only He can give us joy that lasts forever. What are three ways you can show your love for God?

Pray: Ask God to help you love Him more than the things of this world.
