这是一套在美国很受欢迎的教材，按年龄共分三部分：0-6岁学龄前儿童教程，6-12岁学龄儿童教程，和12岁以上青少年教程。我们将陆续翻译成中文，分享给大家。
这套教材里的每一篇，无论是教程还是各种活动，都独立成篇，没有先后顺序，大家可以按需要和负担选择使用。

1.了解保罗与腓立比人之间的深厚连结：他写书的对象并不是一些自己不太认识的人。
2.认识到我们建立的各种关系是我们活出与基督之关系的重要组成部分。
主题
喜乐，艰辛，社区，交通，人际关系
背诵经文
腓1:3，腓1:9-11
开始祷告(5-10分钟)
团队建造(5分钟)
用以下问题，让学生思考他们所居住的地方如何影响了他们的生活。重要的是要认识到保罗和腓立比人所建立的个人关系。如果学生仅住过一个地方，让他们谈谈该地的特殊之处。大家可以一起讨论。
•你是否只住过一个地方?
•你曾住过哪些地方？
•你最喜欢住的地方是哪里？
•是什么让那个地方如此特别？
•是什么让你现在住的地方如此特别？
课堂起头(5分钟)
在10个单独的索引卡上写下以下文字：
谁? | 保罗 |
什么? | 信件 |
哪里? | 监狱 |
什么时候? | 约公元60年 |
为什么? | 加强伙伴关系 |
让所有人围成一圈，将卡片分发给10个不同的学生。让每个学生看一下其索引卡，但不要让其他人看到。然后让学生将卡片对折以盖住内容。
选一名学生开始。让他或她说出其名字，并出示其索引卡，看是问题还是答案。然后让那个学生从小组中选另一个人。被选中的人也要说明其姓名并出示其卡。
如果纸牌匹配（正确答案与问题配对），第一个人则从其选择的人那里拿走纸牌，然后选择其他学生继续游戏。如果不匹配，则继续让其选择的人以相同的方式继续下去。以这种方式玩到至少有几对纸牌配对。但不要在游戏上花太多时间。
深入学习(30分钟)
使徒保罗花了很多时间到各地传福音。在与世界各处的人们相处之后，他会经常写信给他遇到过的人，向他们致以问候，分担他们的负担，并鼓励他们的信仰。
在进入腓立比书之前，让我们看看他们是些什么人，他们是如何认识保罗的，以及伟大的使徒和他们之间的关系是如何发展起来的。
阅读 使徒行传16:6-10
讨论：
1.为什么圣灵会阻止保罗和他的同伴在亚洲传福音？（神知道所有人的心，祂知道保罗的努力在马其顿可以得到更好地利用。）
2.什么使保罗的注意力转到了马其顿？（他有异象/梦。）
3.保罗和他的同伴什么时候决定对神的召唤做出反应？（“立刻”）
阅读 使徒行传16:11-15
讨论：
1.保罗和同伴在等待安息日时在哪里定居？（腓立比城外的河。）
2.为什么他们寻求那些已经在祷告中聚会的人？（保罗的习惯是先与当地犹太教堂的人交谈，因为他们有着相似的背景。）
3.如果吕底亚是敬拜神的人，那么为什么她需要回应保罗的信息？（吕底亚很可能是一个转依犹太教的外邦人。听到保罗的信息后，吕底亚将自己的信仰转到基督。）
4.保罗的信息鼓励吕底亚和她的家人做什么？（吕底亚和她的所有家人都受了浸，然后他们邀请保罗和他的其他成员留在他们家。）
5.你曾经住在别人家吗？
6.你允许什么样的人住在你的家里？
7.这说明基督徒之间的关系该如何？（旨在激发讨论。）
阅读 使徒行传16:16-40
除了这些话以外，还表明保罗和他的同伴开始与腓立比人建立深厚的关系。吕底亚的家在他们腓立比城逗留期间一直很重要。
讨论：
1.保罗和西拉第一次入狱是因为什么？（因为他们提倡了”非法”习惯，使这座城市陷入混乱。）
2.保罗和西拉被投入监狱之前发生了什么事？（他们被人群鞭打，被剥衣服并被殴打。）
3.保罗和西拉入狱后发生了什么事？（他们被放入内部囚室并被锁定在其中。）
4.因着他们所承受的一切，你如何看待他们集中力量赞美神？（旨在激发讨论。）
5.在困苦中，你如何找到力量赞美神？（旨在激发讨论。）
监狱一瞥：
被锁住-活动受限或无法移动，无法上厕所（如果有的话）, 甚至不能伸开双腿。
内部囚室-罗马监狱的牢房实际上是为关贫困罪犯的，条件恶劣。内部囚室更加恶劣，可能几乎没有照明没有通风。
鞭打-就像耶稣被鞭打一样，罗马人用鞭子绑着尖锐的锯齿状尖器殴打囚犯。再加上暴民般的殴打，保罗和西拉斯会因受到这样的责打而变得非常衰弱。
可选活动(10分钟）
现在，我们要在保罗职事中前进约十年。当他写信给腓立比人时，他再次入狱，在罗马被软禁。
阅读 腓立比书1:1-11
讨论：
1.保罗在给腓立比人的信中传达了他什么样的情感？（感激，喜乐，感恩等）
2.你觉得腓立比人的反应如何？（旨在激发讨论。）
3.根据第7节，保罗与腓立比人的关系为何如此特别？（这是一种建立在迫害和艰辛经历上的关系。）
应用(10分钟)
是时候让这些应用在我们当中了。保罗与腓立比人之间的关系是我们基督徒的榜样。我要你看着你右边的人。如果右边没有人，请看左边的人。您对这个人真正了解多少？
你知道他们有几个兄弟姐妹吗？
你知道他们什么时候信入基督的吗？
你知道他们现在正在被什么困扰吗？
现在问他们！
问这些问题可能很困难。意识到我们有时很少关心人，这让我们很不舒服。但是像保罗和腓立比人一样，我们都应该对彼此充满热心，积极地为我们的兄弟姐妹祷告，在基督里了解并爱他们。
结束祷告(2分钟)
祷告学生以一种有意义的方式结识小组中的每个人，并真正关心彼此。

Lesson 1: Paul's Relationship with the Philippians
LESSON OBJECTIVES
Goals
1. To understand the deep connection between Paul and the Philippians and realize he wasn’t writing a book to people he barely knew
2. To realize that relationships we form are a big part of living out our relationship with Christ
Topics
Joy, Hardship, Community, Fellowship, Relationships
Scripture Memorization
Philippians 1:3, Philippians 1:9-11
OPENING PRAYER (5 to 10 minutes)
GROUP BUILDING (5 minutes)
Use the questions below to get students thinking about how the places they have lived have affected their lives. It is important to realize the personal attachment Paul had with the people of Philippi. If the students have only lived in one place, get them talking about what is special about that area. Discussion will most likely come around to people.
• Have you lived where you currently live your whole life?
• Where are some of the places you’ve lived?
• Where is the favorite place you’ve lived?
• What made that place so special?
• What makes where you live now so special?
GETTING STARTED (10 minutes)
Write the following words on 10 separate index cards:
Who? | Paul |
What? | Letter |
Where? | Jail |
When? | About 60AD |
Why? | To strengthen partnership |
Have everyone sit in a circle, and give the cards to 10 different students. Let each student look at his or her index card, but not let anyone else see what it says. Then have the students fold their card in half to conceal the writing.
Pick one student to start. Have him or her state his or her name and reveal if his or her card is a question or an answer. Then have that student select another person from the group. The selected person will also state his or her name and reveal his or her card.
If the cards match (question to the correct answer) the first person takes the card from the person he or she chose and then selects some other student to continue play. If it’s not a match, play continues in the same manner with the person he or she picked. Continue this way until you have at least a few matches, but don’t spend too much time on this game.
DIGGING IN (30 minutes)
The apostle Paul spent a lot of time traveling to many places to share the gospel. After being with people all over the known world, he often wrote to those he had met, sending them greetings, sharing their burdens, and encouraging their faith.
Before we get into the book of Philippians, let’s look at who they are, how they came to know Paul, and what relationship grew between the great apostle and the people.
Read Acts 16:6-10
Discussion Questions
1. Why would the Holy Spirit prevent Paul and his companions from preaching the gospel in Asia? (God knowing the heart of all men knew Paul's efforts would be better utilized in Macedonia.)
2. What got Paul's attention to go to Macedonia? (He had a vision/dream.)
3. When did Paul and his companions decide to react to God’s calling? (“at once”)
Read Acts 16:11-15
Discussion Questions
1. Where did Paul and company settle while waiting for the Sabbath? (The river right outside Philippi.)
2. Why do you think they sought those who were already gathering in prayer? (It may have been Paul's custom to speak with those in the local synagogue first, as they would share similar backgrounds.)
3. If Lydia was a worshipper of God, then why did she need to respond to Paul’s message? (Lydia was most likely a Gentile who had converted to Judaism. Upon hearing Paul's message Lydia placed her faith in Christ.)
4. What did Paul’s message encourage Lydia and her household to do? (Lydia and all her household were baptized, and then they invited Paul and the rest of his group to stay in their home.)
5. Do you ever stay at someone else’s house?
6. What type of people do you let stay at your house?
7. What does this say about how Christians relate to each other? (Meant to stimulate discussion.)
Read Acts 16:16-40
In addition to what this says to us, it shows that Paul and company were beginning to make deep relationships with the Philippians. Lydia’s house remained significant throughout their stay in Philippi.
Discussion Questions
1. Why were Paul and Silas jailed in the first place? (For throwing the city into an uproar, advocating unlawful customs.)
2. What happened to Paul and Silas before they were thrown into the jail? (They were flogged, stripped and beaten by the crowd.)
3. What happened to Paul and Silas once they were in prison? (They were put in stocks and locked into the “inner cell”.)
4. With all they endured, how do you think they mustered the strength to praise God? (Meant to stimulate discussion.)
5. How do you find strength to praise God during difficult times? (Meant to stimulate discussion.)
The prison at a glance:
Fastened in stocks—limited or no movement, unable to walk to a toilet (if there would’ve been one) or perhaps even extend their legs.
Inner cell—a roman prison, the actual cells were reserved for poor criminals and conditions were rough. The inner cell would’ve been more intense, probably with little to no lighting or ventilation.
Flogging—just as Jesus was flogged, the Romans beat prisoners with whips with sharp, jagged materials tied in. Combined with a mob-style beating, Paul & Silas would’ve been very weary from their punishment.
Optional Activity (10 minutes)
Memorable Moments in Acts (Activity) Click here
Now we are going forward about 10 years in Paul’s ministry. He is again in jail, under house arrest in Rome when he writes to the Philippians.
Read Philippians 1:1-11
Discussion Questions
1. With what emotions did Paul convey in his letter to the Philippians? (gratitude, joy, thankfulness, etc.)
2. How do you think the Philippians reacted when they read it? (Meant to stimulate discussion.)
3. Why was Paul’s relationship with the Philippians so special, based on verse 7? (It was a relationship built on persecution and hardship)
MAKING IT REAL (10 minutes)
It’s time to make this real to us. The relationship between Paul and the Philippians is a model for us as Christians. I want you to look to the person on your right. If there is no one on your right, look at the person on your left. How much do you really know about this person?
Do you know how many brothers and sisters they have?
Do you know when they accepted Christ?
Do you know what they are struggling with now?
Ask them now!
Asking these questions is hard, and it’s uncomfortable to realize we care so little sometimes, but like Paul and the Philippians, we should all have a passion for one another that leads us to pray for, know about, and love actively our brothers and sisters in Christ.
CLOSING PRAYER (2 minutes)
Pray that the students get to know everyone in the group in a meaningful way and that they truly care about one another.
