Overview of June Segment 3 lessons

UNIT THEME: Christian Virtues

This month’s lessons focus on Christian virtues. The word virtue may be simply explained as being a quali-
ty that leads to good behavior. Examples of virtuous qualities are wisdom, courage, kindness, good man-
ners, and self-control. Persons with Christian virtues behave like Jesus Christ. They treat others fairly and
better than they are treated.
As you and your students delve into these lessons, it is our prayer that, with the help of the Holy Spirit, you
will practice that which has been shared.

 Teacher’s Inspiration
As you prepare to teach your students, may you be inspired by the following;

We can be confident, courageous, and of good cheer because of God’s promises to us. “Have no fear of sud-
den disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your
foot from being snared” (Proverbs 3:25-26). Here is the promise of God’s superintending care for us, a care
that is absent from the lives of those who reject Him. But for those who have placed their faith in Christ for
salvation, we are to have no fear because “it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke
12:32). In this great promise lies the basis of our confidence, our courage, and our good cheer.
This kind of unshakable trust and courage is only possible for those who know the Lord as the Savior.

In the face of any threat, we can be of good courage because the Lord Himself is with us, and He is worthy of
our trust. No night is so long, no darkness so impenetrable, no suffering so painful, no evil so frightful, and no
enemy so fierce as to disturb the confidence of the one who has God for his light and the Lord for his salva-
tion. Believers can be of good courage and not be afraid because the Lord is the stronghold of their lives.
Ref: https://www.gotquestions.org/be-of-good-courage.

Having courage can be difficult, especially if you try to do it in your own strength and without God’s help.

The story is told of a cowardly man who approached a

master of martial arts, asking him to teach him bravery.
The martial arts master looked at him and said, “I will
teach you under one condition: you will need to live in
the city for one month and tell every person you come
into contact with that you’re a coward. This seemed like a
scary task to the man. However, living with his cowardice
was so unbearable that he decided to travel to the city to
accomplish his goal.

When he saw the first passersby, he got nervous, lost his

speech, and couldn’t talk to them. However, he had to
complete the master’s task, so he started to overcome
himself. When he approached the first person to tell about his cowardice, he felt he would die from fear. But
he got more confident with every passing day, until there came a moment when he realized he wasn’t scared
anymore. The more he completed the master’s task, the more he was convinced that he was over his fear.

After a month passed, he returned to the master and said, “Thank you, teacher. I finished your task. Now I’m
not afraid anymore. But how did you know that this task would help me?” The master replied by telling the
man that cowardice is only a habit. And by doing the things that scare us the most, we can negate the stereo-
types and overcome our fears. He told the man that courage/ bravery is also a habit. So if you want to be
brave, you must move forward into your fears. Then the fear will subside and bravery will take its place.

George William Gordon an associate of Bogle. As a member of the House of
Parliament, he used his position to highlight the sufferings of the people and to

Bogle and Gordon precipitated the beginning of a new era in Jamaica’s devel-
opment.

This lesson is very important for you to know as courage is a most important virtue for
every child of God to possess. This lesson will provide insights and information that
will aid you in exercising courage in various aspects of your lives. God has not given
you a spirit of fear but a spirit of power and of love and a sound mind. Because of our
confidence in God we can have courage.

 Courage (also called bravery or valor) is the choice and willingness to con-

Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courage
know?
 Courage is ‘the ability to do the things that frighten us,’ and as such we can think
of courage as the opposite of fear. With courage we can overcome fear and the re-
sulting inactivity that holds us back from achieving what we want in life.
Ref: https://www.faithhillcoaching.com/post/the-virtue-of-courage

 Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, and not the absence of fear (Mark
Twain)

 Types of courage

In order to exercise courage there must be the presence of a threat. It is from this no-
tion that we identify six (6)types of courage.
1) Physical courage: Physical courage involves proceeding despite fear of physical
harm. You would exercise physical courage when entering situations where your
body may be under threat. At times, you know you will be harmed, but you feel
you have to proceed regardless because of a moral, personal, or social obligation to
do so. E.g. In spite of the threat of being attacked yourself you defend someone
from an attacker.
2) Social Courage: Social courage is the courage to expose yourself to social situa-
tions where you may be vulnerable to embarrassment, ridicule, or discomfort. Peo-
ple who have social anxiety might need this type of courage. They need to muster
this courage whenever they enter a social situation. E.g. In spite of being ridiculed
for your stuttering, you give public speeches.
3) Moral Courage: Moral courage is the courage to stand up for your convictions
despite the sense that it may end badly for you. This is a type of courage that is
often exercised when your morals conflict with mainstream social views. E.g.. In
spite of being called an informer you report the abuse of a bully.
4) Emotional Courage: Emotional courage involves allowing ourselves to feel the
full spectrum of human emotions. In some situations, we may try to protect our-
selves by appearing aloof, uncaring, or disconnected. But people with emotional
courage proceed into emotional relationships with the knowledge that they may be
emotionally impacted by that relationship at some point in the future. E.g. In spite
the threat of being rejected a wayward son returns home to seek forgiveness.
5) Intellectual courage: Intellectual courage is the willingness to learn and expand
our horizons. People with intellectual courage are willing to have their minds
changed in the face of facts and debate despite the vulnerability of having their
views undermined by new information. E.g. publicly debating on a topic on which
you have a strong conviction against a strong opposition.
6) Spiritual Courage: Spiritual courage is the courage to face up to spiritual ques-
tions that may be uncomfortable, a threat to your own identity as a spiritual person,
or undermine your own spiritual beliefs. It is similar to intellectual courage. How-
ever, where intellectual courage is the willingness to address issues of logic and
information, spiritual courage ventures into philosophical questions that are often
unanswerable. E.g. In spite of the threat of being burned to death, the three He-
brew boys decided that even if God would choose not to deliver them, they would
not worship an idol.

 BODY
• What does God’s word say about courage (Daniel 3:8-30)
The Common
Sense Learner In the Bible, courage also means “good cheer”. To “be of good cheer” is to possess an
inner quality that enables a person to confront danger and difficulty without fear and
How does it work? with calmness, boldness, confidence, strength, and trust instead. Example in Mark
6:50 , we see Jesus gave the command, “ be of good cheer’, to the fearful disciples
who saw Him walking on the water of the Sea of Galilee and coming toward them.
God is always commanding against fear, which is the opposite of courage.
Ref: https://www.gotquestions.org/Bible-courage.html

 In the Old Testament: God doesn’t simply command courage with no reason be-
hind it. In nearly every incident where God says “fear not,” there follows a reason
to have courage, and that reason is God Himself, His nature and His perfect plans.
 When God calms Abram’s fears after his battle with the kings of Sodom,
the captivity of Lot and his rescue, God says, “Fear not, [for] I am your
shield” (Genesis 15:1).
 When Hagar was despairing for her life and that of her child in the wilder-
ness, the angel of the Lord tells her, “Fear not, for God has heard the voice
of the boy where he is” (Genesis 21:17).
 God’s promise to the Israelites in Isaiah 41:14 is similar: “Fear not [for]…I
am the One who helps you.”
 When God encouraged Joshua to “be strong and of good courage” (NKJV)
because “the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor
forsake you” (Deuteronomy 31:6; see also Joshua 1:9). The same reassur-
ance was given to Solomon and countless other servants of God throughout
the Bible (1 Chronicles 22:13; 2 Samuel 10:12; Acts 23:11)
In each incident, we see God commanding courage, not because it is natural for man
to be brave and courageous, but because, when God is protecting and guiding us, we
can have courage because we are confident in Him.

 In the New Testament, we see

 the angel of the Lord telling Mary to have courage to face the trial of being
pregnant with Jesus by the overshadowing of the Holy Spirit, despite hav-
ing no husband. Again, the reason for her courage is that the almighty God
controls all things: “Do not fear…for you have found favor with
God” (Luke 1:30).
 The shepherds are similarly commanded to be of good cheer and have
courage by the angel who brought good tidings of great joy (Luke 2:10),
and
 Zachariah was told not to fear, for his prayer had been heard (Luke 1:13).
In each incident, the courage commanded is the result of understanding the fore-
knowledge and sovereignty of God, whose plans and purposes cannot be thwarted and
whose omnipotence makes every circumstance of life subservient to His will.

Let’s take a closer look at the well known Bible story of the Three Hebrew Boys
and the fiery furnace found in Daniel 3 ( Teacher, use the Reader’s Theatre on page
11 for a creative way of involving the students in reading the passage—you could
make hard copies of the passage, or send it to the students’ phones and assign them
their roles).
Let the courageous stance of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego be an encour-
agement to us to place our confidence in God.

• How to Practice Courage:
The Common
Sense Learner The three Hebrew boys, Shadrach Meshach and Abednego all encountered evil, but
How does it work? rather than succumb like everyone else around them, they acted with courage and
challenged their situation. You too can develop courage by practicing the following;
(Teacher, challenge the students to quickly find and read the following Bible verses,
see Sword in hand activity on page 12.)

1. Seek God's presence: Develop a deep and intimate relationship with God through
prayer, worship, and studying His Word. Draw strength and courage from His
presence. Deuteronomy 31:6 reminds us, "Be strong and courageous. Do not fear
or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will
not leave you or forsake you."
2. Know God's promises: Meditate on God's promises and faithfulness throughout
Scripture. Take comfort in knowing that He is faithful to fulfill His promises.
Psalm 27:1 declares, "The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"
3. Embrace obedience: Step out in faith and obedience to God's calling, even when
it feels uncomfortable or intimidating. Trust that God will equip and empower you
for the task. Isaiah 41:10 assures us, "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dis-
mayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you
with my righteous right hand."
4. Surround yourself with supportive believers: Seek fellowship with fellow be-
lievers who can encourage and support you in your journey of courage. Hebrews
10:24-25 encourages us, "And let us consider how to stir up one another to love
and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but en-
couraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near."
5. Face your fears with faith: Identify the areas in your life where fear holds you
back and confront them with faith. Place your trust in God's power and guidance.
Psalm 56:3 reminds us, "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you."
6. Draw strength from previous victories: Reflect on past experiences where God
has provided courage and deliverance. Remembering God's faithfulness can fuel
your courage in present circumstances. Psalm 118:14 declares, "The LORD is my
strength and my song; he has become my salvation."
7. Seek wise counsel: Seek guidance and counsel from mature and wise believers
who can provide insight and support. Proverbs 15:22 advises, "Without counsel
plans fail, but with many advisers they succeed."
8. Pray for courage daily: Bring your fears, anxieties, and concerns to God in pray-
er. Ask Him to grant you courage to face challenges and to trust in His power.
Psalm 31:24 says, "Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait
for the LORD!"
9. Embrace perseverance: Courage often requires perseverance through trials and
difficulties. Endure with faith, knowing that God is refining your character and
strengthening your courage. James 1:12 encourages us, "Blessed is the man who
remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the
crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him."
10. Surrender to God's plan: Trust in God's sovereignty and surrender your plans
and desires to His will. Find courage in knowing that His plans are ultimately for
your good and His glory. Proverbs 3:5-6 advises, "Trust in the LORD with all your
heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge
him, and he will make straight your paths."

(Application)
In order to build up courage we must seek God's help over and over again through
prayer and reading God's Word.

Hopefully we will never be faced with a life or death situation like that of Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego. However, during our lives we will find ourselves in many
situations that if we give in to the pressure or turn our backs on doing what it right, it
could be very damaging to us and to others. It takes courage to tell others what the Bi-
ble says, what the truth is, and that Jesus is Lord. But we can do it because God will
always be there to help.

Do you know the Lord Jesus as your Saviour? Why haven’t you accepted Him, are
you fearful of what others may say, or of not being able to remain faithful to Christ?
Whatever your reason, chose today to be bold, and commit to follow Jesus. He is will-
ing and able to help you overcome whatever is keeping you from making Him Lord of
your life.

Let’s pray.

CONCLUSION
The lesson today was about the virtue of courage. Courage (also called bravery or valor) is
the choice and willingness to confront agony, pain, danger, uncertainty, or intimidation

Courage is ‘the ability to do the things that frighten us,’ and as such we can think of courage as the opposite
of fear. With courage we can overcome fear and the resulting inactivity that holds us back from achieving
what we want in life.

In the Bible, courage also means “good cheer”. God is always commanding against fear, which is the oppo-
site of courage. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego’s reaction to treats demonstrates that we can face any sit-
uation with confidence.

In the face of any threat, we can be of good courage because the Lord Himself is with us, and He is worthy of
our trust. No night is so long, no darkness so impenetrable, no suffering so painful, no evil so frightful, and
no enemy so fierce as to disturb the confidence of the one who has God for his light and the Lord for his sal-
vation. Believers can be of good courage and not be afraid because the Lord is the stronghold of their lives.

Because of our confidence in God we can have courage.

 Activity (1of 3) : Reader’s Theatre (Daniel 3: 8-30 NIV)

Assign students to each role and have them creatively read the story of the Courageous Three Hebrew
Boys.

Narrator: ...some astrologers came forward and denounced the Jews. They said to King Nebuchadnezzar,

Astrologers: “May the king live forever! Your Majesty has issued a decree that everyone who hears the sound of
the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe and all kinds of music must fall down and worship the image of gold, and
that whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown into a blazing furnace. But there are some Jews
whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego—who pay no
attention to you, Your Majesty. They neither serve your gods nor worship the image of gold you have set up.”

Narrator: Furious with rage, Nebuchadnezzar summoned Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. So these men were
brought before the king, and Nebuchadnezzar said to them,

Nebuchadnezzar: “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the
image of gold I have set up? Now when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe and all kinds
of music, if you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you
will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to rescue you from my hand?”

Narrator: Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him,

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego: “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in
this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will
deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will
not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”

Narrator: Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward
them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual and commanded some of the strongest
soldiers in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and throw them into the blazing furnace. So these
men, wearing their robes, trousers, turbans and other clothes, were bound and thrown into the blazing fur-
nace. The king’s command was so urgent and the furnace so hot that the flames of the fire killed the soldiers who
took up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and these three men, firmly tied, fell into the blazing furnace. Then
King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers,

Nebuchadnezzar: “Weren’t there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?”

Advisors: “Certainly, Your Majesty.”

Nebuchadnezzar: “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth
looks like a son of the gods.”

Narrator: Nebuchadnezzar then approached the opening of the blazing furnace and shouted,

Nebuchadnezzar: “Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!”

Narrator: So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire, and the satraps, prefects, governors and
royal advisers crowded around them. They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their
heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them. Then Nebuchadnezzar said,

Nebuchadnezzar: “Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel and res-
cued his servants! They trusted in him and defied the king’s command and were willing to give up their lives ra-
ther than serve or worship any god except their own God. Therefore I decree that the people of any nation or lan-
guage who say anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego be cut into pieces and their houses
be turned into piles of rubble, for no other god can save in this way.”

Narrator: Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
