RCCG LOWER JUNIOR ZEAL FOR 2024/2025
AGE 6-8 TEACHER’S MANUAL
SUNDAY 2ND OF FEBRUARY, 2025
LESSON TWENTY THREE (23)
TOPIC: SEXUAL PURITY
BIBLE TEXT: 1 Corinthians 6:15-20
[15]Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
[16]What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
[17]But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
[18]Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
[19]What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
[20]For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
MEMORY VERSE: Colossians 3:5 “Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.”
LESSON AIM: The children will believe that God has bought them with the blood of Jesus and should pure
CHILD-RELATED TRUTH: God wants you to keep your body pure
INTRODUCTION: Children! If the Holy Spirit was writing rules for your home, what rules would He have? Here’s a clue. In Luke 10:27, Jesus says, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.” If you were to do that…, what would it look like? How would you take care of your mind? Your body? Your heart? Your _ neighbor? Today, you’re going to write a Homeowner’s Manual for the Holy Spirit. How would the Holy Spirit want you to take care of this home of His? What would He want you to do? What would He want you to stay away from?
PROGRESSION OF EVENT: 1 CORINTHIANS 6:15-20
- Our bodies are not separate from Christ but are part of Him because we are united with Him through faith.
- Just as Christ was raised from the dead, we too will be raised to eternal life because of our union with Him.
- The Holy Spirit lives in us to guide us, empower us, and help us live according to God’s will.
- We should honor God with our bodies by living in a way that reflects His holiness and righteousness.
- Our bodies are meant to be used for God’s purposes, not for sinful activities that dishonor Him.
- We should flee from sexual immorality and pursue purity and holiness in our thoughts, words, and actions.
- Jesus paid the ultimate price for our salvation by dying on the cross for our sins.
GOSPEL CONNECTION: If we have Jesus as our Savior, our lives are His home. Jesus came to the world to be the Savior. Jesus died a painful death on the cross, was buried and came alive again on the third day. If you have asked Jesus to forgive you of our sins, and you turn from those sins to follow God, then you will have the Holy Spirit living with you.
CLIMAX: Therefore, we should honor God with our bodies and live in a way that glorifies Him in everything we do.
CONCLUSION: Treat your body as a temple of the Holy Spirit and to guide you in living a life that honors Him in all things.
CHALLENGE: As a child who knows Jesus as Lord and Savior, you need to take care of your mind, body, and heart.
- MIND: Protect your mind from sin in what you watch, Listen to or read
- BODY: Exercise, eat a balanced diet, get some sleep, and shower regularly
- HEART: Ask for your sins to be forgiven, hide God’s words in your heart, be humble, gentle and thankful
- OTHERS: Think first about God, then others, live peacefully with others, and forgive when others wrong you.
CARRY-OVER ACTIVITY: Think of practical steps you can take to honor God with your body this week
INVITATION: To honor God with your body, you need to call on Jesus and be saved (Romans 10:13).
