开始祷告(5-10分钟)
团队建造(15分钟)
(坐成一个大圈子,让愿意的孩子轮流分享有人对他友善的时刻。)
• 那种友善对你的一天、一周或一生有什么影响?
课堂起头(12分钟)
• 什么让一个人变得友善?
• 你曾经遇到过有人很坏或很粗鲁吗?
• 为什么人不喜欢和坏人在一起?
今天我们要谈谈关于友善的真相。没有人喜欢坏人,圣经明确告诉我们,我们应该友善、仁爱。有时候我们有各种不友善的借口:生气了,有人就该有个教训,有人对我们不好,压力有点大等等。但神呼召我们要有一种不以情境为依据的善良。
深入学习(30分钟)
(这里的目标是让经文击中大家。可能无法完成所有经文。可能会讲到你自己或学生的生活例子。没关系。这节课的重点是表明这是一个道德问题,作为基督徒,友善是我们被呼召做的事情。)
让我们读一些关于友善的经文。首先是一个我们都应该记住的经节。
读 以弗所书4:32
问题讨论:
1.根据这节经文,我们应该如何相互对待?(恩慈相待,心存慈怜,彼此饶恕)
2.根据这节经文,我们应该怀恨别人、对人粗鲁或不在乎别人吗?(不应该)
3.为什么我们被呼召以这种方式生活?(因为耶稣这样做了)
圣经还有更多这方面的经文。
读 约翰一书4:7-11
重点很明显,我们应该彼此相爱,因为神先爱了我们。圣经中提到爱500多次。在谈论神对人的爱时被提及最多。我们彼此应有的爱,也是一个常见的用法。
读 约翰福音13:34-35
问题讨论:
1.这节经文对我们应该如何对待彼此有什么说法?(要彼此相爱)
2.以爱的方式对待某人意味着什么?
3.如果我们彼此以这种方式对待,这节经文说会发生什么?(众人会认出我们是主的门徒)
4.当基督徒争吵,对彼此不好或粗鲁时,人们会怎么想?他们可能会认为我们不属于耶稣吗?
我们之前提到,有时我们会为自己的使坏或粗鲁找借口。我们表现不友善或不爱的原因是什么?(给学生时间回答。也许你可以分享一个关于路怒或在某种情况下受到冒犯时未表现出善意的故事。这将帮助他们看到你也有缺点。)
读 彼得前书3:8-9
问题讨论:
1.这段经文如何说我们应该如何相互对待?(和睦相处,心存仁爱等等。)那会是什么样子?
2.第9节是支持还是反对报复?为什么?
报复不是对某人不友善的借口。不友善的人也不是不好相处的借口。你们有多少人认识一个很难相处的人。也许那个人很烦人,声音太大,自我意识过强,对你不好,自私等等。每个团体几乎都会有这么一个(如果你的朋友圈没有这样的人,那可能是你!)
仅仅因为某人很难相处,并不意味着他不值得你的善意。
读 以弗所书4:2-3
问题讨论:
1.这节经文是否回答了我们应该忍受那些难以爱的人的问题?(是的)如何做到?(卑微、温柔、恒忍,彼此担就)
2.根据这些经文,为什么这样做很重要?(保守大家在一里)
(如果时间允许,读以下经文。目的是让学生开始意识到有关爱、善良和对人友善的大量经文。)
约翰一书3:11
约翰一书3:23
约翰二书1:5
罗马书12:10
加拉太书5:22(注意灵产生仁爱)
哥林多前书4:13
箴言11:17
箴言14:21
很明显,有大量关于善良、友善和爱的经文。这个教导不是一个可选项。也不是我们可做可不做的事。我们应该彼此相爱。我们应该对那些难以让人友善的人友善。我们不应该粗鲁或不顾到他们。
应用(5分钟)
还有一个经文是你们都熟悉的。
读 马太福音7:12
这是黄金法则。在这里,耶稣说这是所有律法和申言者的总纲。
我想挑战你们每个人都做到友善。如果你不能说些好话,就不要说。如果你不能友善,至少不要刻薄。如果有人惹你生气,不要以怒报怒。不要认为自己要为朋友报仇。这听起来几乎太简单了,但请友善。
这一周,我希望你们密切关注自己的友善。如果发现自己粗鲁、刻薄、报复心强、不周到或不善良,请停下来祈求神帮助你表现出善意。让人知道你属耶稣,因为你对所有与你接触的人都很友善。
问题讨论:
1.善良的表现方式有哪些?(言辞、行动、帮助)
2.友善的一些实际方法是什么?(彬彬有礼、尊重、赞美、鼓励、体贴等等。不要讽刺)
这一周做些善事。祈求神帮助你表现出善意。让我们现在就祈祷,希望我们所有人都能这样去做。
结束祷告(2分钟)

Truth or Dare (Part 2)
Lesson 2: The Truth About Being Nice
LESSON OBJECTIVESGoals
1. To remind students that their behavior is a reflection of their heart
2. To illustrate the Golden Rule
3. To motivate students to be nice to people no matter what obstacles they may face in doing so
Topics
Attitude, Behavior, Caring, Friendship, Kindness, Truth, Truthfulness
Scripture Memorization
Ephesians 4:32
OPENING PRAYER (5 to 10 minutes)
GROUP BUILDING (15 minutes)
(Sit in a large circle. Go around the group and ask for volunteers to share times when someone was kind to them.)• How did that act of kindness impact your day, week, or life?
GETTING STARTED (10 minutes)
• What makes a person nice?
• Have you ever met someone who was mean or rude?
• Why do you think people don’t like being around people who are mean?
Today we’re going to talk about the truth about being nice. Nobody likes mean people, but did you know the Bible is clear that we should be nice, kind, and loving. Sometimes we excuse not being nice for different reasons: we’re mad, someone deserves to be told off, someone treated us poorly, we feel presurre to fit in, etc. But God calls us to a kindness that is not situational.
DIGGING IN (30 minutes)
(The goal here is to slam the class with Scriptures. You may not get through them all. Chances are examples will come up from your own life or the students' lives. That’s okay. The point of the lesson is to show that this is a moral issue and that being kind is something Christians are called to be.)
Let’s start by reading some Scriptures about niceness. First is a verse we should all memorize.
Read Ephesians 4:32
Discussion Questions:
1. According this verse, how should we treat one another? (Kind, tender-hearted, forgiving.)
2. Based on this verse, should we hold grudges, be rude, or not care about people? (No.)
3. Why are we called to live like this? (Because Jesus did.)
There are more examples of this being our motivation in Scripture.
Read 1 John 4:7-11
The point is plain, we should love one another because God loved us first. Love is talked about over 500 times in Scripture. It’s talked about the most concerning God’s Love for man. But the love we should have for one another is a common usage as well.
Read John 13:34-35
Discussion Questions:
1. What does this verse say about how we should treat one another? (With love.)
2. What does it mean to treat someone in a loving way?
3. What does this verse say will happen if we treat one another that way? (People will know we belong to Jesus.)
4. When Christians fight, treat each other poorly, or are rude, what do you think people think? Is it possible they assume we don’t belong to Jesus?
We mentioned earlier that sometimes we justify being mean or rude. What are some reasons why we act unkind or unloving? (Give students time to answer. Maybe you can share a story about road rage or being wronged somehow when you did not show kindness. This will help them see you are flawed, too.)
Read 1 Peter 3:8-9
Discussion Questions:
1. How does this Scripture say we should treat each other? (Harmoniously, kind-heartedly, etc.) What would that look like?
2. Does verse 9 condone or speak against revenge? Why?
Revenge is not an excuse to be unkind to someone. Neither is someone who is hard to get along with. How many of you know someone who is just hard to get along with. Maybe that person is annoying, too loud, self-conscious, mean to you, selfish, or whatever. There’s one in every group (if there’s not one in your group of friends, it might be you!)
Just because someone is difficult to get along with doesn’t mean they are not worthy of your kindness.
Read Ephesians 4:2-3
Discussion Questions:
1. Does this verse answer the question of whether we should put up with people who are hard to love? (Yes.) How so? (By forbearing, persevering, etc.)
2. Why is this important according to these verses? (Because it preserves unity.)
(If time allows, read the following texts, too. The hope is that the students begin to realize the vast amount of passages on love, kindness, and being nice to people.)
1 John 3:11
1 John 3:23
2 John 1:5
Romans 12:10
Galatians 5:22 (Notice that the Spirit produces kindness.)
1 Corinthians 4:13
Proverbs 11:17
Proverbs 14:21
It’s obvious: there are tons of passages on kindness, niceness, and love. It is not an optional teaching. It’s not something that we pick and choose when to do, either. We should love one another. We should be kind to those who are hard to be kind to. We should not be rude or inconsiderate.
MAKING IT REAL (10 minutes)
There’s one more passage that we should hit on that you all know.
Read Matthew 7:12.
This is the Golden Rule. Here, Jesus says it is the summarization of all the Law and the Prophets.
I want to challenge each of you to be nice. If you can’t say something nice, don’t say it. If you can’t be nice, at least don’t be mean. If someone makes you mad, don’t return anger for anger. Don’t consider yourself responsible for revenge for a friend. It almost sounds too simplistic, but just be nice.
This week, I want you to pay close attention to your niceness. If you find yourself being rude, mean, vengeful, inconsiderate, or unkind, stop and pray that God will help you show kindness. Let people know you belong to Jesus because you are kind to everyone with whom you come into contact.
Discussion Questions:
1. What are some ways kindness is shown? (Words, actions, helping out.)
2. What are some practical ways to be nice? (Be courteous, respectful, complimentary, encouraging, considerate, etc. Don’t be sarcastic.)
Do something nice this week. Pray that God will help you to show kindness. Let’s pray right now that we all will do that.
CLOSING PRAYER (2 minutes)
