Memory Verse:     2 Cor. 6:14

INTRODUCTION

Sheep are very gentle animals. They move about in groups. Goats are known to be very stubborn and disobedient and the pig is a dirty animal which normally sleeps inside dirty water or mud if not caged. As a child, you should know that because these animals have different characters, they are different from each other. Therefore, they do not relate together. Have you ever seen a dog in the company of a sheep? The answer is NO. This example is to show you that the people you move with will show the world the kind of person you are. The study shows us the dangers of keeping bad company and the kind of life a Christian child should live. The message is in three parts.

1.         WHAT IS BAD COMPANY?

2 Chron. 25:1-10

When a child realizes that he is a sinner, repents and turns away from doing bad things and makes Jesus his Lord and saviour, he becomes a Christian.

Now that he is a child of God, he is expected to leave everything that is bad and follow Jesus. Such things are: old sinful friends who are still doing bad things. The Bible has a lot of examples of people who followed bad company. They are: King Jehoshaphat who followed wicked King Ahab, King Solomon who married women that worshipped idols, Rehoboam, the son of King Solomon followed bad friends who gave him wrong advice. They all went astray and served other gods.

These examples show that it is dangerous for any friend of Jesus to keep bad company. Are you a friend of Jesus? Or are you just going to the church to influence other children with your bad way of life? Why don’t you turn away fro,, all your bad ways and say sorry to Jesus today?
