BIBLE TEXT: Hebrews 13:15
[15]By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
15 Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that confess his name. (NIV)
LESSON AIM To teach the teens why they need to praise God always.
CENTRAL TRUTH: Let your lips bear the fruit of praise.
INTRODUCTION: The fruits of our lips are what come out of our mouth, which can either be good or bad. But the Bible encourages us to let the words of our mouth be full of praises and thanksgiving. The words of our mouth are reflection of the state of our hearts. A good heart will produce kind end comforting words. A grateful heart will always give thanks to God in both good and bad times.
