Lesson:

Honoring God's Name

(There is Power In God's Name)

In the bible, God gives us a model prayer.  

When we trust Christ as our Saviour

We become a child of God.  We call him Our Father in heaven.

When we can call God our

Father, it is a powerful thing.

He thinks of us as his child.  

He cares about how we feel and what we think.

He wants us to talk to him about it in prayer.

Our Father in heaven knows everything about us.  He knows

if you think about Him or if something else is more important to you.  

God wants us to put Him first in our lives.  We are to worship and honor his name.

We all have problems in life, I do too.  God wants us to tell him all about it.

We need to want God's will done for our lives.  That means, we have a life to live.  He

doesn't want us living just any ol way we feel like. He wants us to look to Him

for our choices in life.  Does God want you to obey your parents?  Does God want you to be kind to others?  Does God want you to say sorry when you hurt someone?  Does God want you to forgive?

These are some of the questions you can ask yourself to help you remember what God's will is. 

Doing God's will is following Jesus.  It's like playing follow the leader - only follow Him, follow what he says.  He's our Father in heaven.  He loves us very much.  

God teaches us in the Word of God when we pray to pray in Jesus' name.

He promises to answer prayers prayed by faith in Jesus' name.

God's names are powerful, and when we praise and honor him,

 we should use his names.

God is not honored when his name is used in vain.  

Sometimes people use his name in the wrong way.  When the Bible teaches us that his name is hallowed, it means that it is greatly honored.  When people used curse words along with Jesus' name

it is using God's name carelessly.  If someone uses his name again and again as a habit and without thought.  Like  "Oh My God!"  I can say this now because it is not in vain.  I am teaching you that it is wrong.  We need to remember that God does not want us to use his name in a careless way.

The 3rd Commandment

Exodus 20:7 

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain;

 for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Jesus loves you and wants you to trust in him

with your life and heart.  That is His will for you.

My Personal Story:

Years ago when I was a young woman I became very sick with pneumonia.

I became so sick I lost 20 lbs.  I became very upset and felt alone and thought nobody in the whole world cared about me.  I cried out to God and told him how I felt.  I said, "I don't think anybody in the whole world loves me." Then in my heart, I heard God tell me.  " I love you Susan"   There was a warmth that came over me and I felt as though I was hugged by God.  I felt God's love for me.

The Holy Spirit comforted my soul.

In the story, we are about to tell you, there is a man who was left to die and surely felt no one in the world cared about him.  I'm sure that he prayed for help from God.  Let's learn what happened in our Bible lesson today.  Did God hear his prayer?

 

Introduction

An Example Of Love

 "The Good Samaritan"

The power of God can be seen throughout our lives by what we do for others. There is a story in the bible that no doubt teaches us the love of God. The whole Bible teaches us about God's love, but this story has been given to us to help us understand what love will do.   In the story of  "The Good Samaritan, the Samaritan is an ideal example of the love and compassion of God."  If we were to treat someone badly because of what color they are, is that something Jesus would do?  If we say mean things to someone who is different or withhold help because they are different, is that something Jesus would do?   In the story of “The Good Samaritan”, He changed his every plan, He went far beyond what most people would do.  He is no doubt, a picture of God’s love. 

This is another parable of Jesus. There was a man traveling from Jerusalem to Jerico.   Suddenly he was attacked by thieves.  They robbed him of his money and whatever possession he had with him, including his clothing.  He was beaten and wounded and left to die.  I'm sure he said to people passing " Please help me."  Please help me."  A priest walked by him but he crossed to the other side.  He would not help him.  Then again another man who was a Levite passed by on the other side of the street and ignored him. 

 Who knows how much time went by when the Samaritan man found him.  The Samaritan man stopped and immediately went to give him help.  He poured oil and wine onto his wounds like medicine and bound them tightly. He lifted the man up and put him onto his mule or camel (whatever it was).  It could have been a horse and took him to an inn.   Today it would be called a hotel.  There he took care of him.  When he had to leave he paid the host of the inn money to take care of him and promised to repay any extra cost on his return. 

Jesus asked the question at the end of the parable.

Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?

And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

Jesus teaches us to show mercy and compassion.  The love of God is shown through mercy and compassion.  

Jesus is our Good Samaritan in that He came to earth to save our souls.

God loved us so much that He sent his only begotten Son to die on the cross for our sins.

He shows us love and compassion in that He does not want us to go to hell when we die.

Heaven is the place people go who believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour.

When we trust him He washes our sins away.

The Biblical Account

Luke 10:30 - 37

And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbor unto him that fell among the thieves?

And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
