Lesson Development – ABC Model

Time: 5–10 minutes
Ask learners: “If you do something good or bad, what do you think happens later?” Connect to Judgment Day.
B – Building Knowledge (Main Lesson Body)
Time: 25–30 minutes
Content/Explanation:
- Begin by explaining Judgment Day in simple terms: it is the time when God rewards good deeds and shows consequences for sin. Emphasize that it is based on how people live their lives.
- Discuss heaven as a reward for doing good, obeying God, and helping others, and hell as a consequence for persistent sin or wrong choices. Use age-appropriate language and examples learners can relate to.
- Share moral lessons for daily living: helping others, being honest, obeying parents and God, showing kindness, and avoiding wrongdoing.
- Use storytelling of parables that illustrate reward and punishment, such as stories of righteous people being rewarded or lessons on consequences for disobedience.
- Conduct a class discussion: ask learners, “How can we live to please God?” Guide learners to connect daily actions with moral and spiritual outcomes.
- Organize a role-play activity: learners act out scenarios making choices that lead to reward (good actions) vs. consequences (wrong actions), reinforcing understanding through experiential learning.
- Include a drawing activity: learners illustrate “Reward vs. Consequence”, showing examples of actions that please God and those that lead to punishment.
