Here are the details of the lesson:
TITLE >>> Finding And Living Real Love
SCRIPTURE FOCUS >>> Ruth 1:16-18; 2:8-12; 4:9-15
LESSON OVERVIEW >>> Students today are bombarded with messages and images of love . . . or at least what the world would like them to believe is love. From billboards and magazine ads to commercials and Internet pop-ups, everyone is trying to appeal to teenagers’ desire to love and be loved. These messages are usually motivated by the desire to sell a product, but they serve to erode and confuse students’ concept of healthy, God-centered love. God’s view of love isn’t about manipulation, as is evidenced through the Bible. The Bible is full of examples of the real, lasting love that flows in and through us when God is at the center of who we are. And the Book of Ruth is an awesome look at what this love looks like. The story of Boaz and Ruth is one of the great love stories of all time, and while it’s important for students to grasp what real, God-centered love looks like, Ruth’s story isn’t just a love story. It has a lot to teach us about God’s character, and even points toward the future when Christ will come and bring His example of perfect, redeeming love for all people.

Roger, Thanks for the kind
Roger, Thanks for the kind remarks! We tried to "zag" when we figured the tendency was to "zig"; instead of a lesson on dating, or relationships, we thought we'd start with a love story from Scripture that, as you said, points to Christ as the ultimate source of love! I really am thankful we were able to partner with you, and thankful for SYM for allowing us to share the lesson. Please let us know what we can do for you in the future!

Great lesson, helps build
Great lesson, helps build Biblical literacy, shares a story from the Bible that shows women in a positive light and creates a terrific tie-in to Jesus' redemption of humankind. I'll be using it Sunday!
