God Wants ALL To Be Saved!"

"God Wants Everyone To Be Saved!"


The Lord...is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent." - 2 Peter 3:9


Say:

The world has a sin problem! We always have and we always will.

But that didn't stop God from making a way for us to be saved.

God's love is patient and He gives grace every time!

Read:

John 3:1-21


Discuss:

- What is the name of the Pharisee who came to Jesus at night?

Did Nicodemus let anyone know he was going to see Jesus?

- Do we have to become babies again in order to be "born again?"

Say:

We must learn the same lesson Nicodemus learned. God wants ALL people to be saved - not just some people, not just good people or special people - ALL people!

Even though ALL have sinned, God is patient and He wants ALL to be saved - those in our family, our neighborhood, city, country, and even world! Three key ways we reach the world with the good news that God wants ALL to be saved is to pray, give, and go!What are some ways we can PRAY to reach ALL with God's love?

Discuss:

What are some ways we can GIVE to reach ALL with God's love?

What are some ways we can GO to reach ALL with God's love?

Pray:

Pray that each child would remember to make sharing Jesus a priority - that they would pray, give, and even go to let the world know God wants ALL to be saved!

Challenge: Are there certain things in God’s law that you struggle to follow or understand? If so, reach out to a spiritually mature adult and talk about them.



Sunday Morning Worship

Moving toward our calling as one! (Part 1) - Going Deeper Questions

Sunday, October 12, 2025


Question #1: In what ways does your daily behavior reflect the fact that you have been “called by God”? How do you feel about the fact that you have been “called by God”? Does knowing this cause an urgency to change or adjust your current response? Why or why not?


Question #2: Where do you struggle most with humility, gentleness, patience, or unity (Eph. 4:2–3)? If someone who doesn’t know Jesus watched your life this week, would they see behavior that points them to Him or away from Him?

Question #3: How have you seen division or disunity damage a family, relationship, or even a church in the past? Which “preferences” or “personal agendas” are hardest for you to lay down for the sake of unity? How can you personally contribute to strengthening unity in our church family?


Question #4: What spiritual gifts, talents, or passions has God placed in you to serve His body? Are you currently using those gifts to build up others, or are you sitting on the sidelines? If you find yourself on the sidelines, what is keeping you there? What would it take for you to get connected and ultimately “plugged in”? 


Question #5: Where do you still see signs of spiritual immaturity in your personal life (impulsiveness, being easily swayed, staying stuck in old habits, gossip, etc)? What is a step that you can take this week to change this?


Question #6: How do you respond when confronted with truth—defensively or with a desire to grow? What steps can you take to make sure you are growing “more and more like Christ” each day?


Challenge: 

  1. Identify one “unacceptable” behavior in your life and surrender to God today.

  2. Pick one of Paul’s behaviors—humility, gentleness, patience, love, or unity—and find one practical way to live it out.

  3. Look for a way to get “plugged in” this week. Begin this week to use the gift God has given you in a tangible way.
