Supplies: paper, pencils, large paper or blackboard/whiteboard and marker Learning Activity #2: “The Homeowners Manual” (Small Groups) So, how should we take care of the home that the Holy Spirit lives in? Let’s brainstorm today! That means that we can make Him sad with our poor choices in life. If the Holy Spirit lives in us, what kind of home would He want to have? Would He want a home full of trash, like you saw when you walked into class today? Would He want a home full of sin? No! In Ephesians 4:30, it actually says that we can grieve the Holy Spirit. If we have asked Jesus to forgive us of our sins, and we turn from those sins to follow God, then we have the Holy Spirit living with us! How does that make you feel? (Terrified, good, confused, or like you want to eat M & M’s or something?) In our verse today, it says that our body is His temple, or His home. We also learned that the Holy Spirit lives in you and will be with you. What did we compare the Trinity to? (An egg with three parts and water in its three stages.) There is God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit who lives within us. We learned last week that the Holy Spirit is a part of the Trinity of God. Please turn in your Bibles to 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (or have it referenced somewhere as a visual.) “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own you were bought at a price. Learning Activity #1: “His Home in Us” (A Bible Study) Having you here makes me want to hide it! Oh what should I do? Use remote control to shut off pretend show. Especially with you all here, I just know I shouldn’t be watching it. I think God would be disappointed that I was listening to it. Okay, first I better shut off this music. Pretend as though you are talking to yourself. Well, good morning, everyone! Is it really church today? Well, I, oh my, how could I have forgotten? I am so sorry! Look at this place! It needs cleaned! And me? Oh boy! I need cleaned up too. When the students walk in, look flustered as if you were not anticipating them. For yourself, put a baseball hat on and loud music blaring through headphones. Have empty recyclables on the floor, crumpled up pieces of paper, a spill on a table. Supplies Needed: random clutter, trash, baseball hat, loud music and headphones, remote control, cleaning itemsĬlutter the room so that it looks disorganized and unkempt.

They were first prepared for a Children’s Church setting, but would work well as a Sunday School lesson also. This is the second in a series of four Bible lessons for children teaching them about the Holy Spirit.
