Lesson: Sunday, 1st April

BIBLICAL REFERENCE

Psalms 19:14 and Luke 7:1-10

PURPOSE OF THE LESSON

Teach the kids that we must say good words to our neighbour.

VERSE TO MEMORIZE

"Let my words and my thoughts be pleasing to you, Lord.." (Psalms 19:14)

INTRODUCTION

Start by asking the following: kids, who here likes to listen to beautiful songs, worship, poetry, kind words from their parents, etc? (Wait for their participation). Those are nice sounds that we like to hear. However there are some noises that irritate us, right? For example: people singing out of tune, sound of a buzzer, sound of traffic, whistles and constant bell. These sounds are not nice we must say to our neighbour. Pay attention, we are about to begin.

A NICE WORD

ONCE UPON a time there was a man who had a hundred soldiers so he was called a Centurion. Though he was an important man he was kind and worried about his servants. It happened that, one day, one of his servants was very sick and he was almost dying. Poor thing isn't it? The centurion was very sad and asked some old Jewish man to go and call Jesus to cure his sick servant. That centurion had built a temple (church) for the Jews and because of that everybody liked him.The Jew went to Jesus, gave Him the centurion's message and then Jesus went where the sick servant was. When Jesus was getting close to his home, the centurion sent some friends to give Him another message because he had changed his mind. Hmmm, did he give up asking for the cure of his servant? (Wait for their participation).

Do you know what the message was? The centurion ordered them to say that He didn't need bother, for the Lord is the Son of God and he doesn't deserve him to come to his house.

He asked the Lord to just say a word because he was sure, that one word only would be enough for his servant to be cured.

Little friends, that centurion had so much faith because he believed that with just a word from Jesus his servant would be cured. The Lord Jesus was so happy  that He said to the people with him: I have never seen a faith like this, not even among the people of Israel, which is the people chosen by God.

 And, his friend got to the centurion's house, the servant was free from the illness. Yeah!

CONCLUSION

Kids, the centurion knew there was power in Jesus's words. Did you know that our words also have power? Yes, there is power. That's why we must always say good and nice words to bless everyone who hear us. Do you understand?

FUN CHAT

Biblical Educator, for this moment you will need pictures that represent good manners (these are found in websites and books), for example:

1. Someone asking for something 

2. Someone getting a gift 

3. Someone going into a place 

4. Someone saying goodbye

5. Someone waking up close to another person 

6. Someone putting a child to sleep 

7. Someone offering something (snack or food) 

8. Someone apologising

You will also need eight labels; write the following sentences on them: Please; Thank you very much; Excuse me; See you tomorrow; Good morning; Good night; Do you want some?; Please forgive me. Before starting the Fun Chat stick the pictures around the class and glue the labels on the T-shirt of eight children.

Begin by saying: To live well with our neighbour we must be polite and respect them and always say nice things. Biblical Educator, call the eight chosen children, point to the pictures and say: you should get the picture corresponding to what is written on the label of your T-shirt, ok? Make sure that they understand what you are saying and then begin the activity. When the children get the corresponding pictures, read the sentences on the labels and talk to them about each "nice" word and the importance of using them on a daily basis. Then conclude by saying: We heard in today's story that the centurion believed the word of Jesus could heal his servant. So, each of us can bless the next person we speak to with a word of faith, encouragement, saying that everything will work out, God is with you, etc. Who understood say Amen! These must be our words. Who here will follow this teaching say "I will!" Very good.

Biblical Educator, make a prayer asking God to teach the children to speak only good words.

TFteen Lesson

Lesson for 25^th to 31^st March 2012

Bible Verse:  

Colossians 3:20

Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.

Purpose of Meeting:

Teach the teens that we should honour our parent’s daily

Initiating the meeting:

Start the lesson by asking the teens about what they did for their mums/parents on Mothers day. Allow them to share their experiences. Ask the teens how their mothers felt last Sunday, were they happy, grateful?

Message that edifies:

Read the first Bible verse for this lesson with the teens.

God was very happy with us last week for pleasing our Mums and making them happy. But what is the point of treating our parents well just once a year?

Though we do not have to weekly buy our parents gifts and make cards etc., we can honour them in a much more special way; by obeying them, respecting them, helping out at home, doing well in School etc.

From now on, we are going to strive more to please our parents. Not just on special occasions, as everyday counts for a Christian teen, everyday we must live in faith and obedience to Gods word!

Conclusion:

God wants us to obey, honour love and respect our parents. When they teach us something good and helpful, God is using them to make us better people.

Activity

Invite the teens to write a pledge of all the ways they will start to honor, love and respect their parents more. 

It's all about...Faith!

Verse to Memorize

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" Hebrews 11:1

Objective of the lesson

Faith is hard to explain because it’s spiritual and we can’t see it, so to illustrate it and make it easy for the children to understand here’s an idea:

Place several random and common household items into a bag. Have the children sit in a circle on the floor. The children should put blindfolds on and take turns pulling items out of the bag and guessing what they are by feel only. They might know that an apple is an apple, yet they cannot prove it without sight. They simply have faith that they know what they are touching. Likewise, they will know a cotton ball when they feel it because they have had experience with cotton balls in the past and have faith that they are experiencing the same thing. Explain to the children that our faith in God is much like faith in understanding the items in the bag. While we cannot see God with our eyes, our experiences with God help us to have faith and identify that God is working in our lives.

A Story of Faith

Many people who lived in Galilee wanted to see Jesus. They had heard about his first miracle in Cana, where he turned water into wine, and they had also heard about his teachings and his miracles performed in Jerusalem during the Feast of the Passover.

 Now when he left Sychar and returned with his disciples to their country, the news of his coming spread rapidly from one city to another, and the Galilean people hoped he would come to their cities and perform miracles among them, too.

But one man did not wait until Jesus should come to his home city before going out to see him. This man lived in Capernaum, a city that had been built on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. He was one of the rulers in that city, and he was also called a nobleman. In the eyes of the poor who lived near his home he was a great man indeed; for he did not despise them, as did many of the rulers of the Jews.

Sorrow had come into the home of this nobleman, his little son lay sick with a burning fever, and the doctors could not make him well. Hearing of Jesus, the nobleman decided to seek this wonderful prophet and beg him to come to Capernaum to heal his child. So he left his home one night and hurried to Cana, where Jesus was.

When the nobleman found the place where Jesus was stopping, he called to see the wonderful prophet of Galilee. He told Jesus about his sick child lying at home at the point of death, and he asked Jesus to go with him to Capernaum to heal the child.

But Jesus answered, "Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe that I am sent of God."

The nobleman was very much in earnest. He cried out, "Sir, if you do not come down at once, my little son will be dead when we reach home."

 Then Jesus spoke kindly to this distressed father. He said, "Return to your home without me, for your son will not die."

 The nobleman believed Jesus' words and turned back to Capernaum. He did not fear any longer that death would snatch his dear child away from his loving care, for Jesus had said that the child should be well again.

 When he came near to Capernaum, his servants came to meet him with glad tidings. They said, "Your son is no longer sick."

"At what time," asked the nobleman, "did he begin to get well?

 And the servants replied, "His fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour of the day."

The ruler knew that Jesus had spoken to him at that very hour, and he believed surely that it was the power of this prophet that had saved the life of his child. Not only this nobleman, but his entire household, too, believed in Jesus when they heard about the healing of the sick boy.

As you can see, the nobleman believed. He had faith! He could not see it yet with his physical eyes, but he believed and the miracle happened! Let’s all do the same!

It's all about...Loving one another!

Verse to memorize

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and love your neighbour as yourself.” Luke 10:27

Objective of the lesson

Explain to the children what Love really means,  when you love you care about that person and if she is upset or passing by a problem you will help her.  God is Love, and when we love we show God.

Jesus tell us a story

Did you know that Jesus loved telling stories? So today we are going to learn one!

Once upon a time, a man asked Jesus: "Teacher, what should I do so I can go to Heaven and live forever?"

And  Jesus answer him “What do you think?" and the man said "Love the Lord your God with all your heart with all your soul and with all your strength, and love your neighbour as yourself."

"That is right!"  Jesus said.  "Do this and you will live forever in Heaven."  But the man wanted to know more so he asked , "And who is my neighbour?"

So Jesus decided to tell him a story  saying:  There was once a Jewish man walking along a road.  He was going from Jerusalem  to Jericho, which was very far.

The road was rocky and there were small hills all around.  The man was just humming to himself and enjoying the nice day when suddenly a group of men jumped out from behind a hill.  They took all his belongings and tore off most of his clothes.  They didn't want him to follow them so they beat him up really badly, and left him bleeding, lying on the ground.

A few minutes later a priest was walking down the same path and noticed the man lying on the side of the road.  Do you know what he did?  You'd think he would run over and help the man.  Instead he crossed the road to the other side and acted like he didn't see the man.

About an hour or so later another man called a Levite was walking down the road.  Levites were people that assisted priests with their work.  He would probably help the man.  But you know what he did?  He slowed down and walked a little closer to the man, but then kept walking without helping him at all.

You might be thinking that maybe the man lying by the side of the road looked like he was resting or something, that's why the priest and the Levite didn't stop to help.  You could tell that he was badly hurt....  The man was bleeding, had most of his clothes ripped off him, and he was bruised and hardly breathing.

Just a few minutes later another man came walking.  He was a Samaritan.  One thing you should know about Samaritans is that Jews didn't like them.  Jews usually didn't treat Samaritans very well, so they never got along.  The man who was dying on the road was a Jew.  So what do you think the Samaritan did?  You'd think he would walk by and maybe even laugh at the man.

But as soon as he saw the man he went over to him and felt compassion for him.  He put bandages on his sores and poured oil and wine (which were quite expensive) on the sores to prevent them from getting worse.  Then he carried the man on his own donkey and took him to a hotel to take care of him. 

The next day the Samaritan took out enough money so the man could stay at the hotel until he was well enough to leave.  He paid the man at the front desk and asked him to take care of the man.  If he wasn't better after about  two months the Samaritan would come back and pay for any extra cost.

After Jesus finished the story he asked, "Which of the three men do you think was a neighbour to the man who was left beaten on the side of the road?"

The man who asked him the question at the beginning replied, "The one who had compassion and helped him."  Jesus told him, "Go and do the same."
