BIBLE TEXT: Psalm 51:10; 24:3-4
Psalms 51:10
[10]Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Psalms 24:3-4
[3]Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

MEMORY VERSE: 1 CORINTHIANS 2:16 “For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.”
LESSON AIM: The children will believe that God can give them pure hearts if they confess their sins
CHILD-RELATED TRUTH: God wants you to have the mind of Christ
INTRODUCTION: Hello, wonderful children of God! Today, we will talk about something amazing: having the mind of Christ. Have you ever wondered what it means to think like Jesus? Let us explore together how we can have the mind of Christ and live in a way that honors Him!
PROGRESSION OF EVENT:
- Having the mind of Christ means thinking and acting in a way that reflects Jesus’ love, wisdom, and character (Philippians 2:5).
- Jesus showed love and compassion to everyone He met and called us to do the same. (John 13:34)
- Jesus had great wisdom and understanding and wanted to give us wisdom too. (James 1:5)
- Jesus was humble and served others with love and kindness. (Mark 10:45)
GOSPEL CONNECTION: Jesus is the Son of God who gave His life and blood for our sins to be forgiven. God sent Jesus, the only sinless Man who ever lived on the face of the earth with a pure heart. He took the punishment that we deserved for our sins. Jesus died on the cross, was buried, and came alive on the third day and lives in Heaven with His Father, God. Jesus will forgive you when you confess your sins and make your mind and heart pure.
- We can renew our minds by reading God’s Word and praying to think more like Jesus. (Romans 12:2)
CLIMAX: Those who have clean hands are worthy to come near to God and stand in His holy presence
CONCLUSION: A pure heart loves God and others, free from selfishness or deceit.
CHALLENGE: It is amazing to know that we can have the mind of Christ. As you learn to think and act like Jesus, you can show His love, wisdom, and compassion to the world around you. God can help you have Christ’s mind and guide you in every step. Children, remember that with Jesus in your hearts, you can do all things.
CARRY-OVER ACTIVITY: This week ask God to help you live with integrity and sincerity, with clean hands and a pure heart.
INVITATION: Jesus will save you if you accept Him as Lord and Saviour (Romans 6:23)
