LESSON FIFTY (50)
TOPIC: WIN THE CROWNS

MEMORY VERSE: James 1:12 “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him.”

BIBLE TEXT:
1 Corinthians 9:25-27
25 – And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
26 – I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
27 – But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

LESSON AIM: To let the children know that there is a crown that can be won.

CENTRAL TRUTH: The crown is given as a reward for our steadfastness in the christian race.

INTRODUCTION: Athletes work hard to win a crown that cannot last, but we do it for a crown that will last forever. Apostle Paul said that he disciples himself so that he will not be disqualified for the prize (crown). He served the Lord faithfully and was dead to sin in order not to be a castaway.
