Scripture Readings:

Host: "First, let's read from Exodus 22:18 (KJV):'Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.'

Next, Deuteronomy 18:10-12 (NIV):'Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord; because of these same detestable practices the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you.'

Finally, Galatians 5:19-21 (NIV):'The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.'"

Lesson Outline:

Host: "Let's break down today's lesson into three parts:"

1. Introduction to Biblical View on Witchcraft:

1. Biblical Warnings Against Witchcraft:

• "Exodus 22:18 gives a clear commandment against allowing witchcraft to exist within the community."

• "Deuteronomy 18:10-12 outlines various forms of occult practices and why they are detestable to God."

• "Galatians 5:19-21 includes witchcraft in a list of sinful behaviors that prevent inheriting the kingdom of God."

Application:
