Summary: People are often controlled by many habits they can’t seem to break free
from. From popping your knuckles to smacking when you eat, some habits are difficult to break, but they really don’t do much harm to your life. On the other hand, there are many habits that are sinful in nature such as lying, disobeying, viewing inappropriate material, or doing drugs. These habits can do severe damage to our spiritual lives. They can be downright impossible to break on our own. They make us slaves to our own sin. If we want to be free, we have to choose the right master. Rather than allowing ourselves to be slaves to sin, we must choose to make Jesus our Lord and leave sin behind. In this lesson, the children will learn through the story of Zaccheaus how to choose the right master.
Power Verse: “Now you are free from your slavery to sin, and you have become slaves to righteous living...” - Romans 6:18
