介绍
本课将帮助孩子们明白，神给了他们所需要的东西，使他们在身体和灵性上都能成长起来。
主题
选择, 成长, 属灵成长
等孩子(10分钟)
当孩子们到达时，请一位帮助者带领孩子们做各种热身运动。伸展、仰卧起坐、原地跑步、跳皮筋都不错。在他们运动时，解释运动有助于他们的身体成长。问他们是否有关于如何锻炼大脑和属灵生活的想法。如果他们想不出，就提供一些。
开头的祷告(5分钟)
参见：开头的祷告
经节(5分钟)
可见栽种的算不得什么，浇灌的也算不得什么，只在那叫他生长的神。 -哥林多前书3:7
向孩子们解释，神赋予我们成长的能力。既然神帮助我们成长，我们就需要照顾好祂给我们每个人的身体。对我们来说，照顾好属灵生活也很重要。
故事(15分钟)
把孩子们聚集在你身边，为故事时间做准备。在介绍之后，直接从圣经中读保罗对罗马人的爱的描述。如果可能的话，使用儿童版圣经，这样孩子们会更容易理解。经常停顿一下，帮助解释任何困难的概念。
介绍：
神以许多不同的方式帮助我们成长。神的话语，即圣经，有许多关于我们应该如何生活的例子。如果我们按照神所希望的方式生活，我们将成长为大而强壮的人。不仅是强壮，而且还很聪明! 圣经有很多关于我们应该如何生活的好建议；例如，我们应该尊重父母，因为这是对的(以弗所书6:1-2）。在今天的故事中，我们将看到神希望我们生活的一些其他方式。
读 罗马书12：9-18（爱与和平）
问题讨论：
1. 我们应该把自己放在别人之前吗？例如，我们是否应该在游戏时间内总是挤到队伍的前面？(不，我们应该把别人放在自己之前。）
2. 我们应该骄傲或自负吗？例如，我们是否应该认为自己比别人强，只是因为我们擅长运动或有漂亮的衣服？ (不，我们应该允许所有的孩子进入我们的团体。）
3. 我们应该努力与每个人和平相处吗？(是的。)
4. 你能举出一些例子说明我们如何在班上与其他孩子和平相处吗？ (分享，好好说话，不推挤，让他们先走。)
5. 把别人放在第一位，与他人和平相处，是否有助于我们的属灵成长？(是的。)
6. 神帮助我们成长的其他方式有哪些？(允许回答。)

GROWING FOR JESUS
LESSON 2: GOD HELPS US GROW
This lesson will help the children understand that God gives them what they need in order to grow up both physically and spiritually.
TOPICS Choices, Growth, Spiritual Growth
AS KIDS ARRIVE (10 minutes) As kids arrive have a helper lead the children in various warm up exercises. Stretching, sit-ups, running in place, and jumping jacks are all good exercises to try. As they exercise explain that exercise helps their bodies grow. Ask them if they have any ideas on how they can exercise their brains and spiritual lives. If they cannot come up with any examples, provide some for the class.
WORSHIP TIME (5 minutes) Further info? Click here
BIBLE VERSE (5 minutes) "So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow." 1 Corinthians 3:7 NIV
Explain to the children that God gives us the ability to grow. Since God helps us grow we need to take care of the body He has given each of us. It is also important for us to take care of our spiritual lives.
BIBLE STORY (15 minutes) Gather the children around you in preparation for story time. After the introduction, read Paul's description of love given to the Romans right from the Bible. If possible, use a Children's Bible so it will be easier for the kids to understand. Pause often to help explain any difficult concepts. Introduction: God helps us grow in many different ways. God's Word, the Bible, has many examples of how we are to live. If we live our lives the way God wants us to, we'll grow to be big and strong. Not only strong but smart too! The Bible has a lot of good advice on how we should live; for example, we should honor our fathers and mothers for this is right. (Eph. 6:1-2) In today's story we'll learn about some other ways God wants us to live. Read Romans 12:9-18 (Love and Peace) Discussion Questions: 1. Should we put ourselves before others? For example should we always push our way to the front of the line during game time? (No, we should put others before ourselves.) 2. Should we be proud or conceited? For example should we think we're better than someone else just because we are good at sports or have nice clothes? (No, we should allow all children into our groups.) 3. Should we try and live at peace with everyone? (Yes.) 4. Can you name some examples of how we can try to live at peace with the other kids in class? (Share, talk nicely, no pushing, let them go first.) 5. Will putting others first and living at peace with others help us grow up spiritually? (Yes.) 6. What are some other ways that God helps us grow? (Allow for answers.)
