课程目的

向学生展示服侍的意义
让学生明白服侍他人是一种需要操练的属灵操练
给予学生服侍彼此和教会的机会

主题

可用性、怜悯、操练、帮助、宣教、服侍

背诵经文

马太福音 20:28

开始祷告(5-10分钟)

团队建造(10分钟)

今天，把教室布置得与平时大不相同，让某些地方显得特别。例如，如果是冬天，每位学生进来时，你可以帮他们存放外套，并亲自带他们入座。如果平时不提供食物，今天准备一些；如果平时有食物，特别安排为学生们端上食物。可以邀请一些成年人，甚至让他们穿上管家或女仆的服饰。

目的：让学生感受到被服侍的惊喜和特别体验。

课程导入(10分钟)

当有人无微不至地服侍你时，你的感受如何？
让我们一起集思广益：每天有多少人以不同方式服侍我们？（如：父母、兄弟姐妹、老师、赞助人、朋友、餐厅员工等）
你是否经常把这些服侍视为理所当然？
你有多少时间在服侍这些同样的人？
你觉得当我们服侍他人时，他们的感受是否会和我们被服侍时一样？
那么，服侍的目标是什么呢？

深入学习(30分钟)

让我们来看看圣经中关于服侍的经文：

读 加拉太书 5:13

弟兄们，你们蒙召是要得自由，只是不可将自由当作放纵情欲的机会，总要用爱心互相服侍。

读 马太福音 20:28

正如人子来，不是要受人的服侍，乃是要服侍人，并且要舍命，作多人的赎价。

读 彼得前书 4:10

各人要照所得的恩赐彼此服侍，作神百般恩赐的好管家。

讨论问题

这些经文对服侍有什么教导？（我们被呼召去服侍，耶稣服侍我们，服侍的方式多种多样等）
马太福音的经文说明耶稣服侍我们的主要方式是什么？（祂为我们舍命）

我们的服侍应该如何效法耶稣？应该是部分的、暂时的吗？

++++++++++++++

关于服侍的三个关键点

服侍让人经历神的恩典（这是一种外在的属灵操练）
服侍不是可选项（圣经明确命令我们去服侍）
服侍并不容易（它需要操练）

++++++++++++++

可选活动

如果你通常会带学生参加短宣或服侍项目，这将是一个很好的机会来预告并邀请他们参与。如果你没有类似活动，可以考虑寻找当地的服侍机会，例如养老院、医院等，并用这堂课作为介绍。可参考可选活动：活动 | 秘密服侍 。

应用(10分钟)

讨论:

为什么培养服侍的习惯很难？
你真正服侍他人的时间有多少？
你今天可以如何服侍别人？

我想挑战你们每个人，在今天结束之前找到一种方式去服侍别人。这可能是在家里做些事，或者简单地问问别人是否需要帮助。不要忘记，服侍可能很辛苦，但我们是被命令去服侍的。让我们围绕这个问题讨论一下，并想出一个具体的行动计划。

结束祷告(2分钟)

Spiritual Disciplines

Lesson 2: Service

LESSON OBJECTIVESGoals

1. To demonstrate what it means to serve to students

2. For students to understand that serving others is a spiritual discipline they need to practice

3. To give students an opportunity to serve one another/the church

Topics

Availability, Compassion, Discipline, Helping, Missions, Serving

Scripture Memorization

Matthew 20:28

OPENING PRAYER (5 to 10 minutes)

GETTING STARTED (10 minutes)

Set up your room quite differently today. Make something seem special. If it’s winter, each student who enters will have their coat checked and taken to a seat. If you don’t usually have food, provide some. Even if you do, make it a point to serve the students their food. Bring in some adults. Maybe even dress them up like butlers and maids. The idea is to sort of surprise them with how well they are being served.

GROUP BUILDING (10 minutes)

• How does it make you feel when you are waited on hand and foot?

• Let’s brainstorm together: How many ways are you served each day? By how many different people? (parents, siblings, teachers, sponsors, friends, restaurant employees)

• How often do you take their service for granted?

• How much time do you spend serving those same people?

• Do you think when we serve others it makes them feel the same way we feel when we are served?• What is the goal of service, then?

DIGGING IN (30 minutes)

Let’s look at some passages of scripture that talk about service:

Read Galatians 5:13

You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.

Read Matthew 20:28

Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.

Read 1 Peter 4:10

Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.

Discussion Questions

1. What do these passages have to say about service? (We are called to serve, Jesus served us, there are a variety of ways we can serve, etc.)

2. What does the Matthew passage say is the main way Jesus served us? (By giving His life for ours.)

3. How might that resemble the way we should serve? Should it be partial or temporary?

Three things about service you need to know

• It’s how people know God’s grace (It’s an outward discipline.)• It’s not optional (It’s commanded in the Scriptures.)• It’s hard (a discipline)

Optional Activity:

If you regularly take your students on a missions trip or service project, this would be a great time to preview it and let students know that you give them an opportunity to serve. If you don’t, you might consider finding somewhere locally that you could go as a group to serve. Use this lesson as a way of introducing that opportunity (a nursing home, hospital, etc.). See the optional activity “Secret Service” Click here

MAKING IT REAL (10 minutes)

General Discussion

1. Why do you think it is hard to get into the habit of serving people?

2. How much do you really serve other people?

3. What are some ways you can serve others, even today?

I want to challenge each of you to find one way to serve someone else before the day ends. Maybe that means doing something at home, or just asking someone what you can do to help. Don’t forget that it might be hard work—but we’re commanded to serve. Let’s go around and try to figure out one way in which we can serve someone before today ends.

CLOSING PRAYER (2 minutes)
