| EXPLORE THE BIBLE: (7–10 minutes) Hand put Bibles and read I Corinthians 6:12-20. After reading the passage, divide into small groups. Ask each group to come up with answers to these questions: • What does this passage have to do with a Taylor guitar? • What is the main point of this passage? Bring the class back together discuss their answers. The passage is about our bodies being the temple of God, purchased with the price of Jesus’ death on the cross. The comparison to the Taylor guitar is that our bodies are valuable, beautiful, and need to be treated with care and respect. The main point of the passage is we need to treat our bodies as if God is actually living within us, because God is! Paul is specifically addressing sexual immorality in this passage, and that is a huge area in which we need to respect our bodies and the bodies of others. See Insights from Scripture for additional points to be made in this mini-lecture. APPLY: (10–15 minutes) Invite students to use the digital camera to take pictures of each other—fun, crazy pictures of individuals, small groups—whatever they want to do. Load the pictures onto the laptop and look at them together. Share your compliments with each person as part of this process, and invite students to share compliments as well. Say: You are all beautiful people, each in a different way. You have made choices in your life to treat your body with respect at times, and you have made choices at times not to treat it as a temple of God. I’d like for you to take a few minutes to think about those times and to write them down. This is for your own reflection and you won’t have to share them with the class. Be honest. When would God say to you “Good job!” and when would God say, “That’s no way to treat my temple!” Continued... |
