Instead, they grow out of our love for Jesus. The sermon highlights Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 25—when we serve others, we are serving Him. Everyday object pairs help children see that a Christian life without acts of love is incomplete, just like a hammer without a nail or a needle without thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; background-repeat: no-repeat; min-height: 1.6em; color: #222222; font-family: Graphik, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; background-repeat: no-repeat; min-height: 1.6em; color: #222222; font-family: Graphik, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"box-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; background-repeat: no-repeat; color: #000000;\"\u003eKey Takeaway:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; background-repeat: no-repeat;\"\u003e\u003cem style=\"box-sizing: inherit; font-size: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; background-repeat: no-repeat;\"\u003eReal faith shows up in real action.
