Transcript
Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said,
Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts:
The whole earth is full of his glory.
And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

What is the job of a missionary?
A missionary may perform his or her work through formal teaching in a classroom or religious setting or through informal communication. ... The most important duty of missionaries to teach people about Jesus Christ, and His great commandment to love God and to love others.
Object Lesson:
Send one child out of the room (with appropriate supervision). Give the other children a treat. As you give each child the treat, say: God loves you!
As children enjoy their snack, explain that there’s also a treat for the child who went out of the room.
Ask:
- How will the child know about the treat?
- How could we get the treat to the child?
Have the children try yelling, throwing the treat toward the door, and using any other means. Children will finally conclude that the only way to get the treat to the child is to take it to him or her.
Send one child as the “Missionary” to deliver the message and the treat. Then have both children return to the room.
Lesson:
Isaiah 6:2-8
Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. And one cried unto another, and said,
Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts:
The whole earth is full of his glory.
And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
How did Isaiah react when he had a vision of God?
Humbled
How would you have reacted?
Humbled, scared, proudful
Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.
Why do you think Isaiah said what he did in verse 5?
Because he realized how amazing God was and how tiny he really was. He maybe thought that God was so mighty and he was a nobody.
Maybe some of you feel that way sometimes. Small, insignificant, or a nobody. I know I’ve felt that way before!
and maybe even Brother Keven and Mrs. Megan have felt that way before!
Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
Isaiah 6:
How do you think Isaiah felt after God forgave him of his sins?
Greatful, blessed, LOVED!
How many of you young people have heard of the ten commandments?
Don’t lie
Don’t steal
Don’t covet (Or desire to have what you cannot have.)
Use the law to give the salvation message.
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
Why do you think Isaiah was willing to go for God?
Because God had forgiven him of his sins and he wanted to share that good news with everyone he could!
What would you have said if this had happened to you?
Young people God is asking this same question to you. If you have trusted Christ as your savior then he is asking you to share that news with others as well.
Discuss with children what it means to be on mission for God at home, at school, in their community, in their country, and throughout the world.
