Title: Gilligan’s Island Bible Study Week Two: “Voodoo Something to Me”
Note: this lesson is inspired by Season 1, Episode 3 of GILLIGAN’S ISLAND, “Voodoo Something to Me”

Prayer: Heavenly father,
This is a time of year for excitement and wonders and indeed relaxation and recreation. We know that you have commanded us to set aside times of rest and times of celebration. However, you do not plan for these to be times of idleness. Show us how to best use this time set aside for recreation to truly create and re-create to renew and to be renewed. Help us to do all of the things we said that we would do if we only had time during the busy times of the past year.
Amen

Bible Texts: Key Scripture Verses for the Gilligan’s Island Bible Study
(Note: these will be the same for each week during this study)
#1
Mark 7:21-23 (New International Version)
21For from within, out of men’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, 22greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23All these evils come from inside and make a man ‘unclean.’ ”
Mark 7:21-23 (The Message)
20-23He went on: “It’s what comes out of a person that pollutes: obscenities, lusts, thefts, murders, adulteries, greed, depravity, deceptive dealings, carousing, mean looks, slander, arrogance, foolishness—all these are vomit from the heart. There is the source of your pollution
#2
Colossians 3:12-14 (New International Version)
12Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Colossians 3:12-14 (The Message)
12-14So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It’s your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it.
Key Scripture Verses for Today’s Lesson
Note: Weeks 2 and 3 are the same
Proverbs 20:4
4A sluggard does not plough in season; so at harvest time he looks but finds nothing.

Matthew 26: 36-45 (New International Version)
Gethsemane 36Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.” 39Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” 40 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. 41″Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.” 42He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”43When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. 44So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing. 45Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”
