It is my suggestion to start with concept of Agape love and what it means to the believer and how it transforms lives. I don't know your time frame but each of these topics can be used as the Lord leads you. It is a daunting task I know but one that will be a blessed experience for you and the students. Or you could pick the one or two you and God deem the most important.
Love is Liberating: John 8:34-36
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Love is Healing: James 5:14, 15
14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
Mat. 4:23, 24
23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
Ex. 15:26
26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
Love Restores God's Image: Romans 5:12
"12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"
You can teach how through Christ we are restored to a righteous relationship with God through His shed blood.
I'm sorry but my brain is fried at this time and I can't think or find other scriptures. You are knowledgeable in the Word and I have confidence in your ability to discern those you need. I would like to suggest applying these beliefs to the importance of Agape love, the love of God that leads to salvation.

Revelation 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
We are likened to a beautiful bride about to be married.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Much more can be said.
GOD bless

Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
God is gracious, grace means undeserved favor. Acronym for Grace God's Riches At Christ's Expense. We are saved by grace, Ephesians 2:8. We are taught by grace Titus 2:11,12. We are kept by grace II Corinthians 12:9. That's all I got.

Do you have to, or do you want to. That will make all of the difference in the world. If you want to do it, those scriptures will jump from off of the pages right before your eyes. If you feel forced to do it, it will be a challenge indeed.

Catholics are Christians. and we do examine the bible. we don't worship the pope and mary, we dont have idols. there are a number of normal misconceptions correct to the Catholic Church, and this could be a good threat for you in looking out purely how untrue they are. Catholic doctrines have stayed extraordinarily consistent, the different denominations all share their roots back interior the early ideals.

Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight 9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. 11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory.

Rom 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. We are overcomers in Him, if we undertake through HIM
