背经节(10分钟)

故此，你们要顺服　神。务要抵挡魔鬼，魔鬼就必离开你们逃跑了。-雅各书 4:7

将班级分成两组，各选一名队长帮助队员记忆这节经文及出处。队伍轮流齐声背诵经文，逐渐加快速度，直到每个人都能准确无误地背诵。

故事与讨论(15分钟)

介绍：

今天我们要学习顺服的意义。我们的记忆经文提到，我们应当顺服神，在祂面前谦卑。顺服与谦卑有什么区别？它们如何相似？我们一起阅读雅各书第4章来进一步理解这些命令。

读-雅各书 4:1-10

讨论问题：

第4节提到“淫乱的人”，这是什么意思？（犯奸淫的人是不忠于配偶的。雅各在这里说，因为这些人爱世俗，他们对神不忠。）
雅各还说“凡想要与世俗为友的，就是与神为敌”（雅各书 4:4）。你认为这与奸淫有什么关系？（当我们选择世俗而不是神时，我们对神就不忠了。）
“神阻挡骄傲的人，赐恩给谦卑的人”是什么意思？（骄傲的人会遇到麻烦，而谦卑的人会得到奖赏。）
在第7节中我们最重要的事情是什么？（顺服神。顺服神帮助我们抵挡 - 而不是对抗 - 魔鬼。是神的力量让魔鬼逃跑，而不是我们如何努力对抗他。）
你是否感到安慰，知道若你亲近神，神也会亲近你？如果你朝神迈出第一步，祂会在那里等你！（给孩子们时间思考这个问题。）
我们该如何洁净自己的心？（听听他们的想法。）
为什么雅各在第9节希望我们忧愁？（他并不是真希望我们难过，而是希望我们意识到自己是罪人，需要神，并为自己的错误感到惭愧。通常当你犯错并意识到错误时，你会感到不安，有时甚至会哭泣。这正是雅各的意思。）
你会在主面前顺服或谦卑自己吗？每天如此？（不需要回答，但可以让他们思考。）

课堂活动(15分钟)

短剧 | 练习顺服

备用-课堂活动(15分钟)

活动｜演出经文

打印至少两份活动页。在课堂上，请两名志愿者，其中一人演右侧的动作，另一人朗读左侧的经文。确保读经人暂停，让表演者有足够的时间完成动作。完成后，如有时间，可让其他志愿者参与。

应用(4分钟)

学习顺服神是很重要的。是否注意到我说的是“学习”顺服？顺服并不容易，但可以通过对生活中的权威的顺服来练习：父母、主日学老师、学校老师、保姆、阿姨、叔叔等。从今天开始学习顺服吧。

下节课

下周回来学习如何正确谈论你的未来，特别是当你对它有些自夸时。

MEMORY WORK (12 minutes)

"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." James 4:7 NIV

Divide the class into two teams and choose a leader for each team. Leaders will help the team members memorize the verse and reference to get ready for the challenge. When ready, teams will alternate saying the verse and reference in unison. As soon as one team is finished, the second team should start, going back and forth. Continue this way, going faster and faster until everyone from each team is able to recite the verse accurately, without any hesitation.

SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (15 minutes)

Introduction:

Today, we want to learn about what it means to be submissive. Our memory verses today say we should both submit ourselves to God, and humble ourselves before God. How is submitting and humbling different? How are they the same? Let's read from James chapter 4 for more help with these commands. (This passage should prompt a good deal of discussion. Allow sufficient time to talk about these commands presented by James.)

Read James 4:1-10

Discussion Questions:

1. Verse 4 makes reference to adulterous people. What does this mean? (Someone who commits adultery is unfaithful to their husband or wife. When talking to the people, James was saying that because they loved the world, they were being unfaithful to God.)

2. James also says, "Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God." (James 4:4) What do you think that has to do with adultery? (When we choose the world over God we are not being faithful to Him.)

3. What does “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble" mean? (People who are proud are going to get in trouble, but those who are humble will be rewarded.)

4. What is the most important thing we need to do in verse 7? (Submit to God. Submitting to God is what will help us resist—not fight—the devil. It is God’s power that will cause him to flee—not how hard we fight him.)

5. Does it comfort you to know that if you come near to God, He will come near to you? If you take the first step toward God, He will already be there, waiting! (Allow the kids time to think about this.)

6. How do you guys think we can purify our hearts? (Listen to their thoughts about this.)

7. Why does James want us to be sad in verse 9? (He doesn’t really want us to be sad, but he wants us to know that we are sinners, that we need God, and that we are sorry for our mistakes. Usually when you get in trouble and you realize that what you did was not good, you tend to feel bad. Sometimes we will feel so bad we might even cry. THAT is what James is really talking about.)

8. Are you going to submit, or humble, yourself before the Lord? Every day? (They don’t need to answer, but have them think about it.)

CLASS EXERCISE (15 minutes)

Practice Being Submissive (Skit) Click here

ALTERNATE CLASS EXERCISE (15 minutes)

Live Scripture (Activity) Click here KJV

Print out at least two copies of the Activity. During class, ask for two volunteers. Have one perform the actions on the right hand side of the page, while the other reads the scriptures on the left hand side. Make sure the reader pauses and allows enough time for the performer before reading the next part of scripture. When finished, if time permits, allow other volunteers to either read or perform.

APPLICATION (4 minutes)

It is important to learn to submit to God. Did you notice I said ‘learn’ to submit? Submission is not easy, but it is something you can practice with those in authority over you: parents, Sunday school teacher, school teacher, babysitter, aunts, uncles, etc. Start learning today how to submit.

NEXT WEEK

Come back next week to learn the right way to talk about your future—especially if you feel a little boastfull about it.
