Let's get the conversation going! Here are a couple of "Would You Rather" questions:
Let's Dive Into Matthew 25:31-46!

READ: Let's read the story for today!
Let's Dive Into Matthew 25:31-46!

ASK: Let's talk about it together!
Why do you think both the sheep and the goats were surprised by Jesus's explanation of when they helped or didn't help Him?
What do you think Jesus means when He says that helping "the least of these" is the same as helping Him?
Can you think of someone in your life or community who might need food, comfort, welcome, or care right now?
Why do you think small, everyday acts of kindness matter so much to Jesus?

ACTIVITY: Let's jump into this Outdoor (or, Indoor) Challenge!
Put together a simple care package or two. Pack a small bag with water, a snack, and a kind note; and take a short trip together to deliver it to someone in need nearby, like a person experiencing homelessness or a neighbor who could use encouragement. As you prepare and deliver it, talk about how this act connects to "the least of these" from the passage. Afterward, sit outside together and reflect on how it felt to do something for someone else without expecting anything back.
Let's close in prayer! Use this one, or say your own together.
Dear God, open our eyes to see You in the people around us who are hungry, lonely, or in need, and give us hearts ready to serve them. Amen.
