[Lee Geun-bae] Rotten root/Genesis 4:1~15
Central Truth: Children of God must uproot sin from the root.
Point: pull out the sin
Goal: To make them aware of the growing sin and to give them courage to quit.
Materials: Needle, small drawing, tree root, recording tape
A.Uh-uh-(Concentration of attention, raising a problem)
❚ What are needles used for? An example of a needle being good but being used for something bad... Show the needle and guess the proverb that comes to mind~
❚ What does it mean for a needle thief to become a cow thief? who knows...
B. Ah, that's right (suggesting the correct answer, expounding the text)
❚ This proverb expresses the story of today's Lee Seong-gyeong very well. This proverb shows how small sins that are insignificant can become terribly large. God tells us to cast away sin.
❚ There is a person in the Bible today. That person's name is Cain. Cain was the eldest son of Adam, the man of the beginning. Adam gave birth to Cain and Abel... The younger brother was a shepherd, and Cain was a farmer. My older brother, Ga-in, seems to have always been a person with a lot of anger in his heart. Cain hated his brother. For some reason, it is clear that he hated his brother very much. God did not accept the worship of Cain, whose heart was always full of anger and hatred, envy and jealousy.
Do you also hate your brother, sister, or other people like Ga-in? Are there times when you are jealous and angry? There are times when the evangelist is like that. (My Testimony - I get jealous because of the birth of my younger brother Hwang-bae, so I blame him when no one sees him...) But the question is, what should I do if I feel that way? Should I keep it as it is?
❚ All these things are the heart given by the devil. The devil is good at dividing... The devil sows envy and jealousy in the hearts of God's children, so that they distance themselves from God... and family members hate each other... When the devil gives such a heart What should I do?
You must pray to God. When that happens, that kind of heart disappears... If I pray to God, God will take care of my heart.
You seem wise... But Cain couldn't. He lived with such jealousy and envy in his heart. But it started to pile up one by one... and it got bigger and I wanted to kill my brother. In the end, seeing God only accepting his brother's sacrifice, his anger explodes like dynamite, and he truly kills his brother.
If we do not extract anger and sin from the heart in this way, it accumulates and accumulates, and if it explodes, we commit an irreversible sin. It's no use regretting back then. Can you put the spilled water back in? What should Cain do?
God says Get rid of sin! When you first start feeling hate like that, when you start to get angry... you cut it off. Then pray to God! The same goes for other sins. What will happen to the very little thing that deceives your parents later? Become a big thief and go to jail. God's children must cast away sin. The heart that the devil gives is called sin.. You have to pull out the heart that the devil gives you!
C. Yes~! (Conclusion, application)
❚ Take it to God, and God will rule it. pray God makes clean.
❚ let's cut it What's here? The rotten root... oh, the smell... The hearts of envy, jealousy, anger... are like these rotten roots. Should I just live with these roots in my heart?
I'm starting to get angry... What should I do? (Cut it out - to shout)
I'm starting to get jealous... What should I do?
Are you starting to hate Mom and Dad?
I hate my friends...
What do you do when you are annoyed by having me run errands for you?
❚ Concluding with Ga-in's voice letter (plays a pre-recorded one)
