• Everything that is living needs a home. An
  animal is a living thing. Animals grow. They
  start out as babies and grow into adult animals.
  They need water, sunlight, food and air to live
  and grow properly. For an animal to grow like it
  is supposed to it needs to live where it can get
  what it needs.

1 Corinthians 619-20 (Contemporary English
Version)

• 19- You surely know that your body is a temple
  where the Holy Spirit lives. The Spirit is in you
  and is a gift from God. You are no longer your
  own. 
• 20- God paid a great price for you. So use your
  body to honour God.

His Home in Us

• The Holy Spirit lives in you and will be with
  you.  In our verse today, it says that our body
  is His temple, or His home.  If we have asked
  Jesus to forgive us of our sins or the bad things
  we do, and we turn from those things to follow
  Jesus, then we have the Holy Spirit living with
  us!  
• How does that make you feel?

• If the Holy Spirit lives in us, what kind of home
  would He want to have?  Would He want a home full
  of rubbish, like you saw when you walked into
  today? 

17

• In Ephesians 430,
• Dont give Gods Holy Spirit any reason to be
  upset with you. He has put his seal on you for
  the day you will be set free from the world of
  sin.

18

• Its actually says that we can grieve the Holy
  Spirit.  That means that we can make Him sad with
  our poor choices in life.
• Just like we upset our
• parents when we dont
• care for our rooms. Or
• when we make poor choices
• to do wrong.

19
So, how should we take care of the home that the
Holy Spirit lives in?

The Homeowners Manual
21

• If you choose to live in a certain apartment,
  you choose to live by the rules of the landlord
  (the person who owns the building or room.)  Some
  of the rules might include  paying your rent on
  time, cleaning up your house on a regular basis,
  leaving the toilet there when you decide to move
  (I once heard a story of someone taking the
  toilet with them!), and maybe no pet dogs or
  gorillas.

22

• If the Holy Spirit were writing rules for your
  home, what rules would He have? 
• Heres a clue.  In Luke 1027, Jesus says,
• Love the Lord your God with all your heart and
  with all your soul and with all your strength and
  with all your mind and, Love your neighbour as
  yourself. 

23

• If you were to do that what would it look like? 
  
• How would you take care of your mind? 
• Your body? 
• Your heart? 
• Your neighbour?

24

• How would the Holy Spirit want you to take care
  of this home of His?  What would He want you to
  do?  What would He want you to stay away from?

25

• MIND1. Protect your mind from sin.  Be careful
  what you watch on TV or the Internet.Also types
  of computer games you play.
• 2. Listen to music with good lyrics.  Read books
  that would honour Him.
• 3. Surround yourselves with good friends people
  who will encourage you to do the right thing.
• 4. Study Gods Word.

26

• BODY1.  Exercise.2.  Eat a balanced diet of
  foods.3.  Get your sleep.4.  And a shower every
  once in a while!

27

• HEART1.  Ask for forgiveness of your sins.2. 
  Hide Gods word in your heart.3.  Be completely
  humble and gentle.4.  Be thankful.

28

• Neighbours1.  Think first about God, then
  others.2.  Love is patient, love is kind3. 
  Live peaceably with all. 
• (Dont start fights!)4.  Forgive people when
  they have wronged you.

29

• Weve learned today that the Holy Spirit lives in
  each one of us, if we have Jesus as our Saviour. 
  Our lives are His home. 
• Since God made each of us uniquely, all of our
  homes will look different.  His home for you will
  look like you!

30

• It is the Holy Spirit role or job to build the
• Church of God. He helps the missionaries
• to tell the story of Jesus. And He puts faith
• in hearts of those who are to be
• Gods children.

31

• So you maybe small and weak!
• Just remember Samuel was probably the ages of
  some of you children here.
• But when he heard the voice of God speaking to
  him his responds was
• Speak Lord you servant is listening!
