Bible Story: The Heart’s Desire

Bible Reading: James 4:1-10

Bible Point: A Christ follower should love God more than the things of this world.

Questions to ask:

-What did James say starts our quarrels and fights?

-Do you become angry when someone tries to take something from you?

-Do you love God more than the things of this world?

Parents, use this time to get a feel for what your child values, how they speak about their belongings, and if they admit to “loving” things more than they should. Admit that this is the case for all humans- it comes with our sin nature. Share ways we can monitor this in our life and keep a watchful eye on our heart and its deepest desire. Maybe have them practice sharing with their sibling or a neighbor and asking the Lord to help them have a giving heart. This in itself will shine the love of Jesus to whoever is watching!
