c. Teach the Lesson (10 minutes)

Introduction to GOOD TOUCH

Read: People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, " Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."

And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.

Bible Reading: Mark 10:13-16

Teaching: GOOD TOUCH

As you probably know, we have five senses. We use these five senses to give us information about the world around us. For example, if I were to hold up a ball and ask you what it was, you would identify it by using your sense of sight. If I were to ring a bell and ask you what it was, you would identify it was by using your sense of hearing. If I put a flower under your nose and ask you to tell me what it was, you would know what it was by its smell. If I gave you a sip of lemonade, you would know right away what it was because of its taste.

One day, Jesus was teaching his disciples and a large crowd of other people were following him to hear what he was teaching. He was teaching about marriage and divorce and how God wanted them to have happy homes.

As Jesus was teaching, people started to bring their children to him so that he could touch them. The disciples didn't like these children disturbing Jesus. They told the people to get the children away. When Jesus saw what they were doing, he was very upset. "Let the children come to me, and do not stop them," Jesus said. " The kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these little ones." Then Jesus took the children in his arms and blessed them.

Let us hope that we will always remember that Jesus loved the children and took them into his loving arms. We are thankful for each of you who are here today and thankful that someone loved you enough to bring you.

Introduction to BAD TOUCH:

b. Learn a Bible Verse (5minutes)

She caught him by his cloak and said , "Come to bed with me!"  But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Genesis 39: 12

c. Teach the Lesson (10 minutes)

Adapted from Bible for Children

The Bible tells us that lust so gripped Potiphar's wife that she threw caution to the wind, she chatted him up encouraging him to come to bed with her. Given her brazen forwardness, one might well imagine that as the days went by, she grew more daring in her seductions. Finally, when none of these tactics had worked, she arranged for the house to be vacated except for herself and the man she had designs on. The unsuspecting Joseph walked right into her trap. She rushed at him wearing what we can only guess and grabbed him, presumably to drag him to her bed if she could. The outcome resulted in Joseph ending up in prison.'

Potiphar's wife acted very badly, she was married and should not have had desires for Joseph, when she tried to entice him to go to bed with her and he refused she grabbed him.

This is a bad touch.

Everyone needs a Trusted Adult. Someone you can talk to who is not your Mum or Dad.

If an adult or even an older child asks you to undress or touch them or shows you pictures or videos of naked people you must tell your parent or Trusted Adult. It is not your fault but you must "tell the truth and the Truth will set you free"
