Theme 03. OBEDIENTS (Part 3)

Key passage:Daniel 1:1-21.

1. Objectives.

A. That the child understands that there are things that contaminate their body and mind.

B. That the child understands that the power of God can help him not to be contaminated.

C. That the child makes the decision to obey God and not be contaminated.

2. Be Careful with the Things that Contaminate Us!

(Note: After telling them the biblical story, ask your students):

Who was Daniel?

What did they have to do along with the other young people?Daniel 1:5).

What very important decision did Daniel make?But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way.).

Daniel knew that eating the king's food and drinking his drink was wrong and would contaminate his body and his

mind, because those foods were dedicated to the gods and pagan idols. Daniel decided not to
to eat them. Daniel decided not to do what everyone else was doing. He decided not to get contaminated.
There are many things that contaminate us, and there are many people who do them even if they are bad:
Getting high, drinking beer, watching shows where people undress, watching pornography. Touching the ass.
about women in groups, stealing, using bad words, spitting. Reading magazines by men and women
naked bodies that grope.

Touching the girls' behinds at school or spying on them to see their panties.
Being hugged by all the guys and letting them touch your butt or breasts.
Watching horror movies, death or violent films. Going to the cyber café and seeing naked people on the Internet.

Playing violent murder and killing games on the computer or console, or games of
terror with demons and undead.
Listening to music that talks about drugs, sex, or insults or mocks God. Etc.

(Note: Ask them for other examples and listen to them attentively).

All these things pollute, dirty, and make your body and mind sick! But also, all these
things make you disobedient to God and you hurt yourself. Your body gets hurt and sick. And your
a person hurts themselves and gets sick.

3. Daniel Made an Extremely Important Decision.

What very important decision did Daniel make?But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way.).

What did Daniel propose to his boss?Then Daniel said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, "Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see." So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days.).

What happened to Daniel and his friends because of the decision they made?At the end of ten days, their appearance seemed better and they were fatter than all the youths who had been eating the king's choice food. So the steward took away their choice food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables. As for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and intelligence in every branch of literature and wisdom; Daniel even understood all kinds of dreams and visions. Then at the end of the days which the king had specified for presenting them, the commander of the officials presented them before Nebuchadnezzar. The king talked with them, and out of them all, he found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; so they entered the king’s personal service. As for every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king consulted them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and conjurers who were in all his realm. And Daniel continued until the first year of Cyrus the king.).

The right decisions not to pollute make us better than everyone else!

The correct decisions to obey God and not to contaminate yourself with bad things make you more
They make you stronger. They make you smarter than others. They help you grow better than
those who do bad things.

God gives you the power to be better when you obey him and do what pleases him.

Provide them with a list featuring illustrations of things that pollute. Then ask them to mark or point at.
Your lists of what things they do, watch, or talk about that contaminate them. Then guide them in a sentence of
renounce 'that' which they have marked in their lists. Pray over their lives for purity and holiness.

Theme 04. OBEDIENTS (4th Part)

Key passage:Genesis 6:9-22.

1. Objectives.

A. That the child knows Noah's obedience in building the ark.

B. That the child understands that some people will mock his obedience.

C. Let the child understand that the obedient are cared for and protected by God.

2. Build an Ark, Noah!

(Note: You have to explain something very important about this story to your students: people were very
disobedient, and they also lived in a desert place where it rained very, very little. After telling them the
history and explain those two points to them, ask them:

Who was Noah?vs.9Noah was a person obedient to God.

What were people like in the time of Noah?vs.11-13).

What did God ask Noah?(vs.14).

What was God going to do with all the bad and disobedient people?vs.17).
And what was God going to do with Noah if he obeyed him in everything?vs.18-21).

What did Noah do?vs.22Noah obeyed in everything.

3. Disobedient People Mock the Obedient.

They lived in a desert place. In that place it rained very, very little. God had told Noah:
Build a big boat because it is going to rain a lot and this whole place is going to flood." And Noah began to
build his great ship. For many, many months he and his sons were working.

And what did the disobedient people who did not believe in God do?

They were mocking Noah! They passed by and laughed in his face! "Noah is crazy." "It never rains here." "This place
It's never going to flood." "Noah is a fool for building a boat in the desert." "Boats sail in
the water, not on the sand!”. “Noah, you are a fool for believing in Jesus.”

They laughed and laughed and laughed. But Noah did not listen to them. Noah continued building in the
sand your boat.

When you want to do good things, there will be great people or schoolmates or soccer friends or
from the neighborhood, they will laugh at you and mock you, because you are doing good things and because you are obedient

to God. Do not be angry with them, remember Noah, and remember that God took care of him and was with him giving
power and strength to finish his boat.

Disobedient people mock when you obey your parents, your teachers, or your pastors.
They mock you when you come to church. They mock you when you don't do the ugly things they do. Don't them
listen. If you are obedient, God will take care of you and will be with you helping you always!

Do not listen to those who mock. It is more important that you listen to God.

(Note: As an activity, help them think about the people who mock or laugh at them for being obedient)
or for attending church. If they know, let them write the names of those people. Then guide them in a
Prayer of forgiveness. For example: "Lord Jesus, I forgive Matías because he laughs at me every time I come."

a liar, not even he can knock down these great walls!
But they did not listen to them. Joshua and the people had decided to obey God and believe Him. They knew
that if they obeyed God, God would help them and bless them and those great walls would fall.

On the 7th day, God told them to go around the city 7 times! Not one time, but 7 times, and that at

That you are foolish because you don't swear. That you are a sissy because you don't have a girlfriend, or that you are

Solomon had to obey the Lord.

Obedience is extremely important to God, He tells us in the Bible: 'keeping all His commandments

How do we obey God? Does anyone know?

another, a song to listen to while reading the lyrics, etc., always emphasizing blessings and
negative consequences. It requires more work, but it is a more impactful activity).
