Topic: The Ear Gate
Sunday School Student’s Manual 2025 Lesson No: 15
MEMORY VERSE: Isaiah 30:21 (KJV)
And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15 For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
INTRODUCTION: The ear is a sensory/sensitive organ of the human body with two main functions: hearing and balance. It is mainly concerned with detecting, transmitting and transducing sound while the semi-circular canals and vestibule of the inner ear work together to keep the body balanced. The ear is one of the means we receive information from the world around us. A gate is any means of access. The ear gate is thus a censor to be used to select what we allow into our soul and what we do with the information received; to run with or discard it.
LESSON OUTLINE:
- “DULL EARS”
- “OBEDIENT EARS”
1. “DULL EARS”
Hebrews 5:11 discloses that some people have dull ears. These people lack interest in yielding to divine instructions and have difficulty in running with God’s command because their heart is not cultivated (Matthew 13:15). They exhibit a lack of understanding about the things of Christ and are not excited to take heed to the voice of the living God (Matthew 19:16-22).
Other traits displayed by people who are dull hearing include:
- Rebellion: They willingly revolt against divine instructions (Ezekiel 12:2).
- Refusal to hearken: They do not listen attentively so they find it difficult to comprehend and follow directions (Zechariah 7:8-11)
- Immaturity: They are undeveloped and cannot handle hard and sound teachings (Hebrews 5:11-12)
- They prefer to listen to fables instead of the truth of God’s word (2 Timothy 4:4). They love to hear teachers who will tell them what they want (2 Timothy 4:3).
- Their ears are not “circumcised”- not refined -so they hear slowly (Acts 7:51; Acts 28:27).
2. “OBEDIENT EARS”
A major trait of people with obedient ears is that they completely obey the undiluted word of God without holding anything back (Exodus 24:7) and believe in divine doings (Psalm 44:1). They take to corrections (Proverbs 25:12) and their obedience helps them to eat the good of the land as stated in Isaiah 1:19.
Furthermore, they hold tenaciously to the truth of God’s word and run away from the lusts in the world (Joshua 24:24-25; 1 Peter 1:14). They are not hypocrites (Ephesians 6:5-6). They take delight in doing the will of God (Psalm 40:8). They are quick to hear (James 1:19). They cleave to God (Deuteronomy 13:4) and they are His people (Psalm 100:3).
It is a blessing to obey God’s commandments (Deuteronomy 11:26-27). Jesus also comes into the lives of those who hear His voice (John 10:27) and gives the Holy Ghost to those who obey Him (Acts 5:32).
CONCLUSION: Although the reception of information is voluntary and within our power to choose, we must intentionally give heed to godly instructions to prosper and record success in life.
QUESTIONS:
- What are the characteristics of a “dull ear”?
- What are the qualities of “obedient ears”?

Friday: Matthew 19:16-22 (KJV)
16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? 21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. 22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
