Objective
Your students will have discussed the amazing fact that God’s love is unstoppable.
Warm Up
Pick two students to play this simple game on stage. Tell them that you are going to randomly select a category and they need to list as many possible answers without repeating an answer and without STOPPING. Categories: Superheroes; US States; professional sports teams; US presidents; countries; CCM Artists
Transition
Ask:
- What happened when they stopped answering?
- Can you think of anything that goes on forever and ever without stopping?
The Song
Let’s take a minute and watch a video of this brand new song by Matty Mullins called “Unstoppable.”
Transition
The first line says, “We’re living in a broken world, Sometimes I feel like love is on strike.” Have you ever felt like that? Yeah, I have too. Let’s split up into small groups and talk about all the ways that God’s Love really is “unstoppable.”
Bible Study
Say, “If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Of course, that’s a ridiculous question, we know that very few things last forever, but one of those things is God’s Love. Let’s open our Bibles and read Psalm 136.” Read the Psalm, and then discuss:
- What do you think the writer of this Psalm wants us to do in verses 1-3?
- What are some ways we can “give thanks” to God?
- In verses 4-25, we read a number of reasons why we should give thanks, let’s list them.
- Then circle the ones that mean the most to you.
- How can we give thanks in the midst of trials?
- Why do you think the writer of this Psalm chose to repeat the line His love is eternal 26 times?
Wrap Up
When are the times that you doubt God’s love is unstoppable? The next time that happens, read Psalm 136 and know that His love is unstoppable!
