  20. Presentation Key word – “death” What does the word “death” mean to you? Death actually means separation. We cry at funerals because we realize we have been separated from someone we love. A dead person can’t respond any more.

  22. Presentation So when the Bible says that “the wages of sin is death,” what do you think it is saying? What we earn by sinning is death or separation from God. “But”

  24. Presentation Key word – “free gift” What do you think “free gift” means? Can you actually earn a gift? No, a gift is giving out of love for someone, not because of what they do. If it is earned, it is no longer a gift but a wage.

  28. Presentation Key word – “eternal” What does the word “eternal” mean? Eternal means forever. As Buzz Lightyear might say it, eternity is “infinity and beyond”.

  29. Presentation Key word – “life” What does the word “life” mean? If the word “death” means separation, then life must mean “together”. Eternal life would be experiencing life forever with God. Life is community with God.

  31. PRESENTATION Key word – “Christ Jesus” Who is Jesus Christ? Jesus Christ is the only Son of God. We have eternal life when we believe in Jesus. God takes the wages of our sin, and puts them on Jesus instead of us.

  32. PRESENTATION Key word – “Lord” What does the word “Lord” mean to you? Nowadays, we might use the term “boss” or “leader.” It means that we have given control over to someone else. Jesus is Lord of our life, He is in control

  34. Draw the Net Circus story – A boy and his friend were in line to ride the ferris wheel at the circus. As they got near the beginning of the line, the boy realized that the price of admission to the ferris wheel was more money than he could ever hope to pay. When they reached the counter, the man asked for their money. The boy’s friend simply said, “Don’t worry dad, he is with me!” The owner of the ferris wheel let the boy ride for free because he was with his son.

  35. Draw the Net God lets us into heaven in the same manner. When we give Jesus control of our life, God lets us into heaven because His Son has already paid admission. But the only way into heaven is through His Son. We can’t work our way into heaven. We must be willing to Confess our SIN and Surrender our lives to the Lordship of Christ!!!

Father, I repent of my sins and surrender to you as Lord. From now on, my life in your hands to do with as you wish. I want Jesus Christ to come into my life and into my heart. This I ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
