我信靠神，必不惧怕；人能把我怎么样呢？ -诗56：11
向孩子们解释，我们的力量来自上面的神。我们不需要害怕。我们可以相信，当我们呼求神的时候，神会帮助我们。
故事(15分钟)
让孩子们围成一圈开始故事会。在介绍之后，直接读圣经故事。若可能，使用儿童圣经，这样孩子们会更容易理解。
介绍：
有时，人们很难相信神能够提供他们所需要的帮助。人们错误地认为他们的问题对神来说太大了。对我们所有人来说，尽可能多地了解神是很重要的。当我们更多地了解神时，我们就会明白，神足够大，可以帮助我们度过难关。我们今天的故事来自旧约中的第二卷书。这是一个关于两个相信神的人的例子，但也有许多人不相信神。(你可以读儿童版的故事，也可直接读圣经中的内容）。
读：
(可选）读：民13-14（探查迦南）
问题讨论：
1. 有多少人被派去探查应许之地？(12)
2. 这12个人要探查什么？(是什么样的土地，有什么样的城镇和什么样的人居住在那里。）
3. 这些人走了多长时间？(四十天)
4. 这些人带回来了什么？(葡萄、石榴和无花果）
5. 在那片土地上住着什么样的人？(巨人。)
6. 人们相信神会给他们这块地吗？(不相信)
7. 人们因为不相信神而发生了什么事？(神让他们在旷野漂流了40年。)
8. 为什么最好在所有的事情上都相信神？(允许讨论。）

从祷告开始，感谢神为我们提供的一切美好事物。神在精神和物质上都供应我们。吃点新鲜的无籽葡萄作为点心。
课程结束时的活动(5-10分钟)
在孩子们等待被接走的时候，玩猜谜游戏 "我用我的小眼睛观察世界"。
带领人先在房间里选一个物体，然后说："我用我的小眼睛观察，有样东西是绿色的，或者是以字母'K'开头的东西。" (可能的线索选择是无穷无尽的。)孩子们环顾四周，提出可能是什么东西。如果没有人猜对，带领人可以就他/她选择的物体提供另一条线索。猜对的人将成为下一个游戏的带领人。

BIBLE VERSE (5 minutes)
"In God I trust and am not afraid. What can man do to me?" Psalm 56:11 NIV
Explain to the children that our strength comes from God above. We don't have to be afraid. We can trust that God will help us when we call on Him.
BIBLE STORY (15 minutes)
Gather the children around you for story time. After the introduction, read the Children's version of the story. As an option, you can read the story directly from the Bible.
Introduction:
At times, people have a hard time believing that God can provide the help they need. People mistakenly think that their problems are too big for God. It is important for all of us to learn as much about God as we can. When we know more about God, we will understand that God is big enough to help us get through anything. Our Bible story today is from the book of Exodus found in the Old Testament. It is an example of two men who trusted God but many others who did not. (Instead of reading the below children's version of the story, you can read directly from the Bible.)
(Option) Read Numbers 13-14 (Exploring Canaan)
Discussion Questions:
1. How many men were sent to explore the Promised Land? (12)
2. What types of things were the 12 men looking for? (What kind of land it was, What kind of towns & people lived there.)
3. How long were the men gone? (40 days.)
4. What did the men bring back with them? (Grapes, pomegranates and figs.)
5. What kind of people lived in the land? (Giants.)
6. Did the people trust that God would give them the land? (No.)
7. What happened to the people because they would not believe God? (God let them wander in the desert for 40 years.)
8. Why is it best to trust God in all things? (Allow for discussion.)

ALTERNATE FUN TIME (8 minutes)
PRAYER/SNACK (10 minutes)
Further info? Click here
Start with prayer, thanking God for all the good things He provides for us. God provides for us both spiritually and physically. Have a snack of fresh, seedless grapes.
CLOSING ACTIVITY (5-10 minutes)
As the kids wait to be picked up, play the guessing game "I Spy with My Little Eye."
The leader starts by choosing an object in the room and says, "I spy with my little eye, something that is green or something beginning with the letter 'K'." (The options for possible clues are endless.) The children look around and suggest things it might be. If no one guesses correctly, the leader can give another clue about the object he or she has selected. The person who guesses correctly gets to be the leader in the next game.
