• Babies & Toddlers: God showed His love to us by sending Jesus to save us.
• Younger Preschool: Even when we do not love God as we should, He still loves us. God showed His love by sending Jesus to save us.
• Older Preschool: Even though we do not love God with all our hearts, He still loves us. God showed us His love by sending Jesus to be our Savior.
• Kids: Israel was not faithful to God, but God was faithful to Israel, just as Hosea loved his wife even when she didn't love him. God is faithful to save all sinners who repent and trust in Jesus.
