AGE 9-12 TEACHER’S MANUAL
SUNDAY 4TH AUGUST, 2024
LESSON FORTY NINE (49)
TOPIC: CONSEQUENCES OF AN UNGRATEFUL HEART 4: (ETERNITY IN HELL)
BIBLE TEXT: Luke 12:16-21
[16]And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
[17]And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
[18]And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
[19]And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
[20]But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
[21]So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
MEMORY VERSE: Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus.”
LESSON AIM: To teach the children that the ultimate danger of an ungrateful heart towards God is eternity in hell.
CENTRAL TRUTH: Hell is real, just as the kingdom of God is real.
INTRODUCTION: Have you ever received a gift from someone and didn’t say thank you? Maybe you don’t really like it or you are just too
busy to think about it. Whatever the reason, not saying thank you can hurt the person who gave you the gift. Did you know that having an ungrateful heart towards God have even more consequences?
