SuperVerse

Our SuperVerse today is Romans 8:39:

No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

In Large Group, we mentioned how God showed us His love by sending Jesus to die for us even while we still were sinners! See Romans 5:8.

We did not earn God’s love; He chooses to love us regardless of our sins. This is how God reveals His love for us. Through Jesus, we have God’s mercy, forgiveness and love. Nothing can separate us from that love! That is God’s promise to us in this verse!

Have the children stand and spread out so they have plenty of room to do the motions. Slowly say the words aloud as you lead the children in doing each of the motions. Do this a few times so children become familiar with the motions and words.

Point to the sky: No power in the sky above

Point to the floor: or in the earth below

Start with both hands touching at waist level, then make a sweeping motion out to both sides, with palms up: indeed, nothing in all creation

Sweep arms back in and then interlock fingers of both hands at waist: will ever be able to separate us

Make a heart shape with thumbs and index fingers: from the love of God that is revealed in Jesus Christ our Lord.

Very Good! Always remember, no matter what we do or what we face, nothing can separate us from God’s love! 

Note: Younger children may not be able to memorize the entire SuperVerse. They may simply repeat it several times, while older children may memorize part or all of it. Be sure all children understand its meaning.
