The SS School Lesson (New Creature)

I taught this Sunday school lesson last Sunday, and I hit a nerve somewhere. I only had one student show up it was the preachers daughter. Broke my heart, but oh well I will not compromise the word of God. All these teens claim to be saved, all of them. A new creature, 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. This verse caught my attention during my bible study. A new creature old things are passed away. I preach to myself too. You don't do the things you used to do. You don't go the places you used to go. If you are a new creature, you have the Holy Spirit inside of you, if you are saved. Everything you do you do it with Christ in you. If you see a movie with bad words, you have Christ watching that. If you listen to bad music & are saved you have Christ listening to that. Any kind of music that doesn't glorify God is of the devil. You have ring tones on your cellphones that are of rap, rock, or whatever kind of worldly music, that don't represent God, if it don't bother you, you need to check up. My son had a ring tone on the phone I used to use it had a rap song on there that came with the phone when I got it, I got under conviction told him to change it & he did. Guitar Hero I played it , I loved to play it, but you play all these rock music songs, I got under conviction & don't play it anymore, I told my sons that when we go to my moms house not to play that game anymore & they don't. If you play these songs, or listen to them & it don't bother you , you need to check up, you are suppose to be a new creature, it is time to check up. The devil was a musical being, if he don't get you to sin, he will get you with his music. You are a new creature, you have a testimony, you represent Christ now. You need to live like a christian, walk like a christian, talk like a christian. People can talk the talk, but can they walk the walk? The word christian doesn't mean much to the world anymore can you tell me why? Its our testimony some people claim to be Christians, but they don't act like Christians outside of church. They come to church like they live a godly life, but when they get out into the world, you can't tell if they are saved or lost. They act so wicked. The Bible says we are peculiar people. Deuteronomy 14:2 We are suppose to be different than the world, not act like the world. If people tell you they can't see a difference in you, you better check up. Better check up to see if your saved. You have to have been under conviction of the Holy Ghost. You have to see yourself lost on your way to hell, Knowing you need a saviour. Have you been changed? Are you saved? If you sin & God don't punish you, you better check up. Your parents wont spank the neighbors kids, why?, they spank their own. They are not their kids. God will take care of His own, are you His? If you come to church out of habit, & don't know why you are here , then get it right with Jesus. You need to come to the house of God to worship & learn about Jesus & grow in the Lord. What is worship? Worship is to honor, adoration, glorify, to Love. Do you study your bible? Do you tell others how to get saved & what Jesus did for you? If not why not, are you ashamed of you heavenly Father? If you come to church , because your parents make you come how are you going to love , adore, & worship Him. You have to come with an open heart ready to Worship. Have you confessed your sin, don't hang on to it. Go repent. Repent means to turn away from to feel sorry, & not do it again. Change it, repent.

Excellent post, Juan. Preaching like this will keep kids from scarring up their lives. It will also keep us older folks close to the Lord if we adhere to the Holy Spirits conviction. With the world in the shape it is today, we should do everything we can to remove all worldly influences and appearances. Thanks for reminding me of what's important.

Lets see what do I think? Here it goes, I think that when we get offended or mad it is because we want to stay in the same old sin. If they felt uncomfortable then good it worked.

@ gramma, thanks I was feeling bummed about it. I love teaching, God just put that in my heart, and they went and told , and some adults got offended, I was by no means picking, or pin pointing any one out. I was confessing and my sunday school lesson came out. Thanks Gramma i really was bummed out about, but I don't want to let any one see that. I posted this so my pastor could see what I was teaching. Then he goes and preaches a message similiar, but better of course. God is so awsome

@ Debbie thanx I loved to teach the little ones, you can just snap your fingers and give them the look & they behave. But teenagers ayyy they think they are grown up, they just blow you off. Thanx just pray for me, to be a good example to these kids. I don't want to make them stop coming to church, but I will still teach the word.
