1 John 1:4 - 10
And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

You Were The Because
Teen Devotional Lesson
Today I wanted to show you what could be a police drawing of a hardened criminal.
Somewhere in life, this man learned to be a murderer and thief. He wasn't just any criminal, He was
a serial killer and hated by many. With Halloween coming around the corner you wonder why anyone would have a problem with this lesson if they allow the terror of Halloween into their child's life. This was life in the bible times - they crucified publicly.
The Holy Bible speaks of a serial killer and a thief, His name was Barabbas. Barabbas was hated
but they hated someone else more.
Matthew 27:17 Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
The crowds of people were chanting Crucify Him, Crucify Him, Crucify Him.
Envy and jealousy tempted the hearts of the religious leaders. They stirred up the crowds\against Jesus. They chanted loud and long and then Pontius Pilate gave them a choice.
Who do you want me to release to you today? Jesus or Barabbas?
They chanted and yelled Crucify Jesus.
He was hit over and over again and whipped with a catoninetails, beyond recognition,
Spit upon, mocked, ridiculed and suffered in agony emotionally. He was shown cruelty from people who professed to know God.
Sinless Christ Jesus - Took Barabbas's Place.
He willingly went to the cross:
He could have destroyed the whole
world with one word.
But He chose to be afflicted,
persecuted, crucified by people and rejected by God.
He took upon himself our every sin.
He paid the price to save me, you and all the world.
Then in three days, He arose.
John3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave
his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.
See the bible says. - Without Christ - We are dead while we liveth.
But the minute you believe and accept Jesus Christ as your Saviour.
You arise from the dead in your soul.
You become alive to God for the first time.
It is called being born again.
The verse just after Romans 10:9
teaches us what happens when you truly believe.
When you believe, you will believe unto righteousness.
When you believe you will be willing to make changes
in your life that makes you more usable to God.
God will lead you and direct you as you ask Him to guide your way.
We are always becoming either bitter or better as a Christian.
God's will is for us to become better.
Barabbas represents you, me and all sinners.
We do not deserve to be forgiven.
None of us do.
But God provided the way of salvation..but it
is up to us to accept it. He gives us a choice.
In the old testament. The people were directed with this command.
"choose you this day whom ye will serve".
Barabbas was stunned I'm sure as
He watched an innocent man die for His terrible crimes.
I wonder if He ever understood what Jesus did for him.
Only God can soften a heart of stone. God's love
is revealed by His forgiveness where it is not deserved and especially
shown in His willingness to take our place.
I brought another drawing that could be a picture of a missing person.
She is a really good person.
She has given to the poor and seems almost perfect to
some people. But this woman is lost and needs someone to find her.
We have here two pictures - but a good person without
Jesus is just as lost as Barabbus.
-------
You know what? When our family goes fishing we put worms on our hook and it leaves worm
guts and fish all over our hands. If you use any kind of bait it leaves stuff on your hands. We use a rag to wipe our hands off. All day long we are wiping our hands off while we are fishing. The rag even sets in the hot sun for a while. It becomes a filthy rag. God compares our righteousness to a filthy rag.
A person can be really, really good and still not know Jesus.
Matthew 7:22-23
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I (Jesus) profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Isaiah 64:6a But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags.
Jesus is the only way of salvation.
Here is a writing, I'm going to read to you today called
"You Were The Because"
Dramatically Read.
Susan Y Nikitenko
2Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Colossians 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus
God has set out a plan for us. His plan tells us how to be saved,
what to trust in and who to trust in. We are saved by grace through faith ( belief and obedience)
exemplifies faith. I can prove this with three passages of scripture.
Romans 10:9,10
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Ephesians 2:8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Ephesians 2:9
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Belief moves to righteous actions This is a sign of change and repentance.
Father God, I praise you today, that you are a God who forgives our failures, A God who loves us unconditionally and saves us eternally. I pray that if there's anyone here that does not know you, that their understanding would be opened and their hearts softened to accept you. You know Lord when I speak of the heart ( I'm speaking of a person's understanding, their very being). Not the pumping heart beating in our chest. We know though Lord, that you do know every beat of our heart. You hold our lives in your hands. You know our struggles, our weakness, our desires and our motives. None of these things has changed the fact that you love us, that you use unperfect people with problems. You save undeserving sinners. It is you that has given us a clean slate and our sins are forgiven. If there is anyone here that needs to be saved and wants to find peace with you, know that they can be forgiven forever and can know that God is their Father in heaven. I pray Lord if there is any person seeking these things today that you would give them the courage to come to talk to me today. I ask this in Christ name, Amen.

We Need To Ask Forgiveness
When we became born again we do not have to ask God for forgiveness anymore, even if we did something wrong. We confess our sins but no longer have to ask forgiveness.
This is a false statement for these reasons.
The #1 reason is the answer
is In the Lord's prayer. God teaches us to ask forgiveness.
Mt 6:9 -15 .....vrs 12
After this manner, therefore, pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
(We must get our own hearts right with our brother/sister before God will forgive us.)
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
When we sin we hurt our relationship with the Heavenly Father. We grieve the Holy Spirit. When we have gone on without restoring that relationship by asking forgiveness and the confessing of our sins, we can not live in the peace and joy the Lord has spoken of to us. Our lives will not exemplify the Holy Spirit's attributes in our lives. Sometimes this also happens when our faith has been tried for a very long period of time and we begin to doubt. We have to restore our relationship with our Heavenly Father just like we do with people. God will not bless our prayer if we have ought against our brother/sister The Bible tells us to first go to our brother/sister then God will bless our prayers. Your brother or sister will never be able to say you didn't try. God wants you to forgive your brother/sister from the heart, even if they will not accept your attempts to restore a relationship with them. Then our prayers will be heard for our own forgiveness. If we are truly saved you cannot lose our salvation, but an unforgiving heart means a disobedience has hindered our relationship with God. Therefore, our effectiveness as a Christian is also hindered. God's will is for us to humble ourselves even if we are not the guilty one. If we do this God will bless us for our obedience and give us the grace to love those that do not love us.

Lesson: The Hurt Heart
Prayer:
Song:
Scripture Verse:
Matthew
18:32-33
Then his lord, after that he had called him, said
unto him,
O thou
wicked servant, I
forgave thee all that debt, because
thou desiredst me: Shouldest not thou also have had compassion
on thy fellowservant, even as I
had pity on thee?
The Hurt Heart
Let us start our class today by saying the pledge to the
bible. When we say the pledge we are making
a promise to make (God's Word) what guides us in life through not only the best
times of our lives but also the darkest
times in our lives.
In life we have many hurts.
It could be a hurt that is temporary or a hurt that lasts a
lifetime. The hurts that last a lifetime
are the ones that get to the heart. In
the pledge we promise to hide God's Word in our heart. We do this by memorizing and understanding
scripture. The reason we hide God's Word
in our heart is because it is through the heart our choices are made. Our choices are made by either how we feel, our
circumstances or what we want. If we are right with God, they will be made by prayer and what we are taught in scripture first. God knows that the devil wants our heart.
The devil will tempt us at the times we our
most vulnerable, the times our heart has been hurt, at one of the very darkest
points of grief or discouragement. In
these times we must follow what we know is true. in a time of confusion, we can decipher the truth from the fiction of what we are
feeling and also from other people around us.
A couple weeks ago I surprised our church family by entering
the room wearing a sheriff's badge. They all
called me Sheriff Susan. They were all curious about it, but nobody
asked. Then we dismissed to Sunday
School. I told them a story I heard a long time ago. I heard about a police officer that was shot
at while he was on duty. Something kept
him from being killed, something unusual.
The bullet hit his badge. The
badge kept the bullet from hitting his heart.
So I told the kids the true story of how the officer was saved by his
badge. The bible tells us to wear a
shield, it is not a police badge, but is the shield of faith.
We are saved by faith, by taking God at His
word. Being saved by faith is our
protection from belonging to the devil. While living by faith and hiding God's
Word in our hearts is our shield against the fiery darts of the devil.
Now Today:
I mentioned to them about the police officers that were killed
checking out a 911 hang-up call. They
were shot and killed suddenly. My husband knew one of them. They grew up together,
played football together and he attended our very small wedding 31 years ago.
We heard of another shooting which Pastor prayed over this morning. A deadly school shooting in Florida where many died. I think about the coach that blocked the bullets from killing some of the students. I'm sure He was a really big guy - most coaches are. These violent killings happened because of hate, because of anger, because someones heart was being managed by the devil himself. The young men who killed these valiant men and many other innocent people - had something messed up in their hearts. When it's young people doing the shooting, we must talk about it.
In sunday school, I held my bible up over my heart and said..."Kids, the devil wants your heart and he wants it wounded. I'm not talking about your physical heart. I'm talking about your soul the very being of who you are. He wants you to be bitter. He wants you to stay angry. People will disappoint us, people could turn there backs on us, people you thought would always be there. but Jesus will never leave you nor forsake you. There may not be anyone to cry to, no one to listen, but Jesus is your comforter, your shield your help in times of trouble. The only defense we have as people against the fiery darts of satan is a Really Big shield. I held the bible up over my heart and I pounded my hand on the Bible that covered my heart. The Word Of God in our hearts mingled in faith blocks the fiery darts of the devil. It won't allow Him to get to your heart.

Make Jesus the Biggest Valentine in your heart. Love the Lord your God with all your heart.
The devil wants us miserable , unhappy and defeated as Christians, but Jesus tells us we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. Jesus is in every heart that has accepted Him by faith.
God promises to be there for us through our troubles, through our tears.
One of the biggest temptations in time of hurt is to become vengeful,
unforgiving and bitter. It is through
these troubled dark times we must not allow these things to destroy our faith.
It is through these things we must apply the scripture to our heartbreak
and let it heal us by faith.
God teaches us that we have no choice but to forgive because
we ourselves have never once deserved forgiveness. Now there are some things that just cannot go
without circumstances, but God does not want your heart remaining angry, or
bitter. His desire is that you overcome,
by faith, trusting Him through what could be your hardest moments of life.
Jesus gives us a parable in scripture to teach us why we
must forgive:
Read The Memory Verse Again
- Underline the Parts They Need To Memorize
Matthew 18: 21-35
Talk about it as you read it.
Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my
brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee,
Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain
king, which would take account of his servants.
And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed
him ten thousand talents. But forasmuch
as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and
children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. The servant therefore fell down, and
worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee
all. Then the lord of that servant was
moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
But the same servant went out, and found one of his
fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and
took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. {pence: the Roman penny
is the eighth part of an ounce, which after five shillings the ounce is seven
pence halfpenny; about fourteen cents}
And his fellowservant
fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I
will pay thee all. And he would not: but
went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. So when his fellowservants saw what was done,
they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him,
O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me; Shouldest not thou also have had compassion
on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to
the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
Father God, I ask in
the name of your Son, Christ Jesus that you heal our broken hearts this morning, that we may
renew our strength and continue in faith,
which we need to protect our hearts from the fiery darts of Satan. If there are any here rebellious, unbelieving,
wounded or doubting- work the work of
faith in their hearts today and renew a
right spirit within us. That we may
continue to obey you in faith ... heal the hurting. Praise your name for what you will do in our
hearts as we trust you. If there is anyone here that has not trusted Christ as there personal Saviour. Jesus will not refuse anyone who genuinely wants Him to be the Lord of their lives. Christ Jesus died for your sins and arose victorious that you may be forgiven and become his child.

The Lemon Of Bitterness - Puppet Show And Lesson - Restored August 19th, 2014
The Lemon Of Bitterness
( A Lesson On Bitterness)
Susan Y Nikitenko
May 13th, 2013
I Wrote The Puppet Show About 15 Years Ago
But This Lesson Was Written This Morning -
Age: Junior Age And Up
This Lesson Can Be Modified For Younger Children
Puppet Props Needed:
2 lemons -
1 cut in half
monkey mouth puppet
Today I brought someone I think you will enjoy
meeting. His name is Charlie. Charlie is such a busy little fellow. He's always doing the funniest little things.
Charlie will be visiting us off and on
during the year to help me teach you some valuable lessons about life.
Come on up here Charlie, (Charlie pops up with a lemon in His mouth. Charlie moves around being funny like a monkey making monkey sounds, but keeps the lemon in His mouth.)
Charlie has a little problem but He really doesn't even know it. He has been holding on to a lemon all morning and He won't let it go. The problem is he thinks the lemon he is holding is a banana.
Charlie, I've told you that it's not a banana and if I give it to you, you're not going to like it.
(Teacher tries to take the lemon from Charlie but he won't let her. Just make sure it stays funny. )
Charlie, I promise you that it is a lemon. Do you want me to prove it to you? (Charlie shakes His head yes) Teacher has a lemon already cut in half in a plastic baggie.
I have a lemon I've cut in half. See it's the same as what you are holding in your mouth. Here taste it.
(Charlie puts down the lemon in his mouth to taste the lemon she is holding in her hand)
(Charlie makes a sour face and makes funny reactions and sounds)
See Charlie, I told you, you wouldn't like it. Here Charlie, how about a banana?
(Charlie shakes his head yes and happily plays with the banana and exits while the teacher starts to teach the lesson.)
Today's lesson is about bitterness. There are many things in life that hurt us. When hurts or disappointments happen in life we have a choice how to react to them. When someone has hurt us or disappoints us we sometimes feel angry. We want to hold on to that anger, just like Charlie held onto that lemon. Anger in the heart can make one a very hard person and a very unhappy person. it puts an ugly expression on our face and silently kills our joy inside. It robs us of being the best person we can be.
God doesn't want us to stay angry . It doesn't mean He never wants us to be angry
because anger is good when it's under control and used to make good decisions
and making plans on fixing a problem, but when anger makes you do something
wrong like holding a grudge, or
gossiping, or hating, or hurting someone else to get even it becomes a very
dangerous sin.
God doesn't want us to
go to bed with anger in our heart, He wants us to pray about our anger and
forgive anyone who has hurt us or put whatever problem it is into His hands. God knows that anger in someone's heart
becomes bitterness. The Bible describes
bitterness as a root. Anger grows like a tree and the longer it is
left in the soil of our heart the deeper the root grows and the harder it is to
dig out.
Bitterness causes bad attitudes that effect other people and
it causes other people to be upset and to suffer around us. Bitter people tend to strike out at the
people that have been good to them.
Bitter people destroy themselves and the people they love. They are hard to live with and they don't even like themselves.
This is what bitterness left to grow starts to look
like.
I'm glad Charlie decided the lemon didn't taste good. We need to see that holding onto the lemon of
bitterness. Has to be dealt with before
the sun goes down or the root will grow deeper into the good ground of our
heart and it will grow like a weed choking out the happiness in our lives and
also in the lives of those around us.
If we have been
having a hard time forgiving someone, we
know that we need to get that taken care of.
So let us bow our heads today and ask ourselves " Is there anyone I
need to forgive?" If so, we need to make a decision with God's help just to let it go. We need to confess the sin of unforgiveness and to ask God to heal our hearts because bitterness hurts ourselves the most.
Dear Father In Heaven,
I have been very angry and I know it is wrong to stay
angry. Please do not let any root of
bitterness take control of my life and
actions towards other people. I know
Father you have forgiven me even though
I have not deserved any of your mercy. I
want you to use my life for your honor and glory. I know I cannot stay angry and be completely
be used of you. Forgive me Lord and give
me the grace to forgive and love others the way you would have me to do.
In Christ name I pray, Amen
Scripture References:
Eph 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and
clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Heb 12:15 Looking
diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness
springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

Let Go
Children's Poem
Funny little monkey;
Climbing in the tree.
Finds a different coconut;
It has a hole you see.
He peeks inside and sniffs.
Mmm, it smells sooo good.
He sticks his little hand inside;
Just like a monkey would.
He finds a yummy treat.
He holds to it, real tight.
When he pulls to bring it out;
He pulls, he jerks, he fights.
Funny little monkey;
He's stuck, he can't get free.
Determined now, to keep the treat;
He won't let go you see.
Funny little monkey;
Trapped in a hunter's snare.
Doesn't see the danger;
And is taken unaware.
Listen, children listen.
Don't let sin keep your hold.
Trapped your life is useless;
When in bondage you are sold.
Let go and let the Lord;
Give strength in sins attempt.
To take away your freedom;
Just like this little chimp.

What Kind Of Apples - updated
If you were a tree;
of apples so bold;
What kind of apples;
would your tree limbs hold?
Would they be bitter;
Or would they be sweet?
Would your apples provide;
A nutritious treat?
Apples of goodness;
Filled with God's mercy?
Apples of pardon;
Grace for the thirsty?
In Jesus our tree;
Can bare joy divine.
Through trouble and trial;
Our Jesus would shine.
Apples of patience;
Longsuffering too.
What kind of apples;
Are falling from you?
Crab apples are green;
And bitter to eat.
Some apples are rotten;
and lay at ones feet.
A fruit bearing tree;
In Jesus I'm told.
Will bare sweet apples;
Sweet apples of gold.
Like honey they yield;
Providing the world.
With apples of goodness;
Produced by our Lord.
If you were a tree;
of apples so bold;
What kind of apples;
would your tree limbs hold?
Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance:
against such there is no law.

Every Day’s a School Day
By: Susan Y Nikitenko
Every day’s a school day;
When you’re a child of the King.
Listen now, my dear children;
Do you hear the school bells ring?
Listen and be attentive;
Keep your nose in God’s schoolbook.
Learn Life’s valuable lessons;
Open it now and take a look.
The lessons of forgiveness;
Keep you standing firm and strong.
The lessons of Gods great love;
Gives your heart a happy song.
It teaches us to follow;
Our Lord and His great commands.
And instructs us to go forth;
Giving truth to every man.
The school of higher learning;
Is Run by our Holy Lord.
He teaches through example;
How to live in this lost world.
Every day’s a school day;
We are tested ‘long life’s way.
So be prepared my children;
Study day to day and pray.
Follow holy instruction;
Let the Bible show the Way.
And if you learn and heed it;
My child you’ll get an A.
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman
that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

(children’s song) 2nd version
By : Susan Y Nikitenko
Forever, and ever;
He’ll leave me, no never.
How good He is to me.
Forever, and ever;
He’ll blame me, no never.
His death, has set me free. -- Amen!
Forever, and ever;
His love stops, no never.
Glad, I belong to Him.
Forever, and ever;
He’ll fail me, no never.
On Him, I can depend. -- Praise God!
Forever, and ever;
I’m washed, forever;
Forgiven, of all my sin.
Forever, and ever;
One day, forever;
I’ll live, in heaven with Him.
I’ll live, in heaven with Him. -- Amen!
