God Welcomes EveryoneSample

If you play a game with your best friend and you disagree about the rules, should you split up forever?

No! You can work it out.

Think about how many people follow Jesus. Sometimes people in God’s family disagree about the best ways to honor God. Should God’s family split up?

No way! We can remember some good things we have in common: we love Jesus, and He helps us to love each other. Sometimes it’s uncomfortable to work it out, and sometimes we need help. But it’s always worth it because it honors God and shows His love to people who don’t know Him yet.
