TOPIC: WORKS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT 1 (THE COMFORTER)
BIBLE TEXT: John 14:16-18
[16]And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
[17]Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
[18]I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

LESSON AIM: The children will be reminded that they can feel the comfort in the presence of God
CHILD-RELATED TRUTH: God will comfort you through the Holy Spirit
INTRODUCTION:
Hello, children of God! Have you ever spent time away from someone you love? Maybe you had a sleepover or a trip where you weren’t in your home. You might miss the people that you’re separated from in those circumstances, right? It’s challenging. Have you ever taken something with you to remind you of those loved ones? Or, if you’ve gone away from home, have you taken something that felt like home? Perhaps you have a special blanket or stuffed animal that does this job, comforting you and reminding you of things and people you love. Sometimes having a little something with you helps, because it makes you think of what has been left behind, and it lets you rest assured that you’ll be together again sometime.
PROGRESSION OF EVENT: JOHN 14:16-18
- Before Jesus died on the cross, He told His disciples that He was going to send them a special helper.
- He said that He would be physically gone, and they would not see Him again.
- Jesus said He was not leaving them forever.
- Jesus also said that He would give His spirit to comfort them.
GOSPEL CONNECTION: Jesus loved His disciples, He also loves you and me and wants us to live with him someday in Heaven with God who also loves us and sent Jesus, His only begotten Son to die for our sins. Jesus died on the cross taking the punishment for our sins. When Jesus knew that His time on earth was drawing to an end, He promised His disciples that He will send the Holy Spirit which is the Comforter to take care of them. You have the same comforter today if you believe in Jesus as Lord and Saviour
CLIMAX: Jesus said He will not leave the disciples as orphans
CONCLUSION: Jesus said He will come back to them
CHALLENGE: We don’t see God with our eyes, but we know that His Spirit lives in us, and we can feel that. The Holy Spirit helps us to pray, guides us, and comforts us. We know that God is always present. We also know that we can experience God when we continue to pray, read our Bibles, and participate in worship services. He is always at work in our lives, and He will come back one day. and as we follow God’s rules and commandments, we prove that the Spirit is alive and working everywhere, and we prove our love for Jesus. Let’s share that
today and every day.
INVITATION: To have the Holy Spirit in your life, you need to accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour (John 1:12).
