The Word of God: The Greatest Commandment, Week 4


This year in FamilyQuest we'll be studying the word of God. We'll learn how it came to be, study some of the books of the Bible, and even study some of the bigger concepts found in the Bible.

During this unit we will be looking at what Jesus says is the greatest commandment. It's easy to memorize, but not always so easy to do! We'll learn, in a variety of ways, how we can be intentional about loving God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.

Here are some fun ideas for living out the "love your neighbor as yourself" portion of this unit's memory verse:



  • Bake cookies for your neighbors. You could include an invitation to FamilyQuest or church with your goodies.
  • Make encouragement cards and deliver them to one or more of the nursing homes in town.
  • Make and take a freezer meal to someone who has just had a baby, death in the family, or some other big event.
  • Take a special shopping trip just to pick up items for our food pantry.
  • Clean out your closets and storage areas and donate items to Douglass Community Center, Hope House, or Harvest House.
  • Visit the local Police Station or Fire Station with goodies for our first responders.
  • Do some yard work for your neighbors.

One of the ways we can learn to love God with all we have and all we are is by spending time in the Word. Not only is this hard for us as adults, but it can be really hard to help our kids spend time in the word, as well. Check out these links for some ideas and Bible reading plans for your kids of all ages!
