背经节(12分钟)
爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈；爱是不嫉妒；爱是不自夸，不张狂，不作不合宜的事，不求自己的益处，不轻易发怒，不计算人的恶，不因不义而欢乐，却与真理同欢乐；凡事包容，凡事相信，凡事盼望，凡事忍耐。-哥林多前书13:4-7
孩子们将在这个系列中背诵这段话。孩子们可以这周从第一节开始，下周再学一节，或按自己的节奏背诵整个段落。为鼓励孩子们，最好的办法是在第三课时提供一些奖励。
故事与讨论(15分钟)
引言：
为了在考试中获得A，你愿意学习多少个小时？为了成为一名职业运动员，你愿意练习多少年？生活中有些事情需要很大的耐心。但如果你是出于爱而做这些事，等待就一点也不困难。今天，我们的故事是关于一个有大爱和大忍耐的人。
创世纪29:1-30（雅各与拉结结婚）
带着感情，用不同的声音给孩子们读这段经文。
问题讨论：
1. 拉班是谁？ (第10节，他是雅各母亲的兄弟，他的叔叔)
2. 雅各在第一次见到拉结后做了什么？(第10节，把石头转离井口，给他母舅拉班的羊群喝水）
3. 为什么雅各在亲吻拉结后哭泣？ (他喜悦的泪水，因为他找到了他爱的女人)
4. 为了赢得拉结，雅各愿意做什么？ (为拉班作工七年)
5. 在雅各作工七年后，拉班做了什么？(他把利亚给了雅各，而不是拉结）
6. 为什么拉班先把利亚给了雅各？(按照习俗，大女儿要先结婚）
7. 既然雅各真的爱拉结，他总共为她工作了多少年？(14年)
8. 为什么雅各能够在等待拉结的过程中表现出如此的耐心？ (因为他对她的爱)
课堂活动(20分钟)
备选-课堂活动(5分钟)
应用(4分钟)
当使徒保罗向哥林多信徒描述爱时，他说的第一句话是："爱是恒久忍耐"。我们通常不认为忍耐是描述爱，但它确实如此。有了真爱，我们将有能力等待我们所希望的任何东西。运动员热爱运动，但为了出好成绩，他们必须耐心地苦练很多年。你认为迈克尔-乔丹只是有一天醒来就成为NBA的职业选手吗？当然不是，他必须从他还是个孩子的时候就开始练习。他甚至没有入选他的高中篮球队。但因为他热爱篮球，他一直坚持着。如果我们真的爱某样东西，我们就会愿意为它等待。就像母亲耐心地教导她的孩子，或者一个男人耐心地等待赢得他未来新娘的心。但最重要的是，因为我们爱耶稣，我们会耐心等待在天国与祂在一起，同时保持对祂话语的顺从。
下节课
如果有人不爱我们，我们应该爱他们吗？我们能爱他们吗？下周再来寻找答案吧。

TRUE LOVE LESSON 1: LOVE IS PATIENT
In this first lesson, children will discover that godly love means we can wait patiently until His blessings are revealed to us.
TOPICS Jacob, Love, Patience

MEMORY WORK (12 minutes) "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NIV
The children will memorize this passage during the series. Kids may want to start this week with the first verse and learn one additional verse each week, or memorize the entire passage at their own pace. A great way to encourage the kids for their individual accomplishment would be to provide some type of reward during the third lesson.
SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (15 minutes) Introduction: How many hours would you be willing to study to get an "A" on a test? How many years would you be willing to practice to become a professional athlete? Some things in life take a lot of patience. But if you are doing them out of love, the wait is not difficult at all. Today our story is about a man who had great love and great patience.
Genesis 29:1-30 (Jacob Marries Rachel) Read the entire passage to the children with feeling and using different voices. If reading from the "NIV" version, you may want to change the word "lay" in verses 23 and 30 to "joined" for the younger children.
Discussion Questions: 1. Who was Laban? (verse 10, He was Jacobs's mother's brother, or his uncle) 2. What did Jacob do after he saw Rachel for the first time? (verse 10, He rolled away the stones from the well to water Laban's sheep.) 3. Why did Jacob weep after he kissed Rachel? (He had tears of joy because he found a woman he loved.) 4. What was Jacob willing to do to earn the hand of Rachel in marriage? (Work seven years for Laban.) 5. After Jacob worked seven years, what did Laban do? (He gave Leah to Jacob instead of Rachel) 6. Why did Laban give Leah to Jacob first? (It was custom for the older daughter to marry first.) 7. Since Jacob really loved Rachel, how many years in all did he work for her? (14 years) 8. Why was Jacob able to show such patience in waiting for Rachel? (Because of his love for her.)

APPLICATION (4 minutes)
When the Apostle Paul described love to the Corinthians, the first thing he said was, "Love is patient." We don't usually think of patience as describing love, but it does. With true love, we will have the ability to wait for whatever it is we hope for. Athletes love sports, but to excel they must patiently practice for many years. Do you think Michael Jordan just woke up one day and was a professional in the NBA? Of course not, he had to practice from the time he was a small child. He didn’t even make the cut for his high school basketball team. But because he loved basketball, he kept with it. If we truly love something, we will be willing to wait for it. Like a mother patiently teaches her children, or a man waits patiently to win the heart of his future bride. But most of all, because we love Jesus, we will wait patiently to be with Him in Heaven, all the while staying obedient to His word.
NEXT WEEK
If someone doesn't love us, should we love them? Can we love them? Come back next week to find out.
