5. 他的书信很实际，有很多建议，可以帮助我们活出我们的信仰。

深入学习(30分钟)

今天我们来看雅各书1:1-18。我们给这节课起名叫“碰到了一些问题“，因为就象雅各在这封信一开头说的那样，我们每个人在生活中都会时不时碰到一些问题。现在我们花一些时间来深入讨论这个话题。在这之前，我们先读一些经节，来看看雅各说的我们大家都会遇到的四大问题是什么。

读雅各书1:1-18

雅各说的我们大家都会遇到的四大问题是什么？

教学提示：可以把经节数告诉孩子，让孩子自己总结，然后大人作纠正。

试炼 (经节2) 

• 缺少智慧 (经节5) 

• 卑微的环境 (经节9) 

• 试探 (经节13)

问题讨论：

教学提示：可以和孩子一起读相应的经节，让孩子自己总结，然后大人作纠正。

1. 让我们先看“试炼”。根据雅各书，我们应该如何面对试炼？(要以为大喜乐。)

2. 为什么这种反应是对的？(因为试炼带我们走向成熟。)

3. 我们该如何解决“缺少智慧“这个问题？(向神求。)

4. 为什么这个方法是对的？(因为神乐意把智慧赐给我们。)

5. 我们该如何面对卑微的环境？(我们应该感到自豪。)

6. 为什么要感到自豪？(因为富足的和那些富人都会象草上的花一样过去。)

7. 最后，我们该如何面对试探？(我们不该为此责怪神。)

8. 为什么我们不该为此责怪神？(因为一切美善的，都是从神而来；而那些试探来自魔鬼和我们自己。)

重点学习:  与“试探" 作战

一旦我们知道试探来自我们自己的私欲，战胜试探就变得容易了.

教学提示：程度好的孩子，可以把以下经节分一部分给他，让他单独查出来，然后让他自己读了之后给出总结。

• 要儆醒祷告 -马太福音 26:41

• 切切保守我们的心 -箴言 4:23 

• 将神的话珍藏在心里 -诗篇119:9-11 

• 还可以逃开！-提摩太后书 2:22

• 神是信实的, 必开一条出路。-哥林多前书 10:13

神不愿让我们失败！

教学提示：在继续下面的内容之前，可以给孩子5分钟休息时间。

分享应用总结 (10分钟)

和孩子分享一段你自己的挣扎经历，你是如何应对的。然后让孩子自己也分享一段他的经历，他又是如何应对的。接着，让孩子说说他在今天这堂课里学到的东西。最后，你作个简单总结。

背经节&结束祷告(5分钟)

我的弟兄们，无论何时你们落在诸般的试炼中，都要以为大喜乐；知道你们信心所受的试验，产生忍耐。- 雅各书 1:2-3

James

Lesson 1: You've Got Issues 

LESSON OBJECTIVES

Goals

1. To familiarize students with the book and person of James2. To help students understand that we all have common issues we must deal with3. To equip students with what they need to overcome and learn from their issues

Topics

Burdens, Difficulties, Temptation, Trials

Scripture Memorization

James 1:2-4

OPENING PRAYER (5 to 10 minutes) GROUP BUILDING (5 minutes)

Small groups are at the core of developing life changing friendships. Communication is at the core of successful small groups. Take a few moments to discuss the importance of active listening. 

GETTING STARTED (10 minutes)

We’re going to be studying James. (Discuss the following facts about James.)

• Half brother of Jesus

• Did not believe in his brother until after the resurrection

• Became a leader in the early church

• Writes this letter in about 49 AD

• His letter is very practical, filled with ideas on how to live out your faithWe’re going to be very practical for the next 5 weeks. 

Workbook Activity

Trials & Temptations (Part 1)Write down two or three trials that you face today. 1. _______________________________________________________________________2. _______________________________________________________________________3. _______________________________________________________________________

Finding Joy in the midst of TrialsHow might God use a trial to stretch and mature you?Don’t be tricked into doubting God or letting your faith in Him be shaken.How can you bring honor and glory to God in the way you handle trials.

Today, we’re going to jump right in and look at James 1:1-18. 

We will just call this lesson “I’ve Got Issues” because we all do. In the first chunk of his letter, James tells us about 4 that we all encounter from time to time. For some of you, you might connect with 2 or 3. Some of you might really struggle with one of these. We’re going to take some time in a few minutes to individualize this stuff and dig deeper in the areas we need to, but first, let’s read our text. Listen for the four issues that James says we all deal with. 

DIGGING IN (30 minutos)

Read James 1:1-18

Who thinks they caught some of the issues we’re going to talk about? What are they??

The Big 4:	Trials (verse 2)	Lack of Wisdom (verse 5)
	Humble Circumstances (verse 9)	Temptation (verse 13)

Discusion Questions:

1. Let’s look at trials first. According to James, how should we respond to trials? (Consider it pure joy.)

2. Why is that an appropriate response? (Because trials lead to maturity.)

3. How should we respond to a lack of wisdom? (Ask for it.)

4. Why should we respond in this way? (Because God wants to dish it out to us.)

5. In humble circumstances, how should we respond? (Take pride in the circumstance.)

6. Why take pride? (Because riches—and the rich—pass away like wildflowers.)

7. Finally, how should we react to temptation? (Don’t blame God for it.)

8. Why shouldn't we blame God? (Because good things come from God. Temptation comes from the devil and ourselves.)

Workbook Activity

Trials and Temptations (Part 2)Write down two or three temptations you struggle with. 1. _______________________________________________________________________2. _______________________________________________________________________3. _______________________________________________________________________

The Source of Temptation: Temptation does not come from God, but rather from your own evil desires.Do not dwell on the evil desire while ignoring the danger that it poses.

You become your own worst enemy when you start to justify your sin.When you are disobedient and act on the evil desire, it becomes sin.

Combating Temptation:Once you determine that your temptation comes from your own evil desires, it will be easier to overcome those temptations.

Pray and be ready – Matthew 26:41Guard our heart – Proverbs 4:23, Phil 4:8-9Hide God’s Word in your heart – Psalm 119:9-11, Romans 1:2, James 4:7

If all else fails, run! – 2 Tim 2:22You will not run if you haven’t done the first three points above.

Remember God is faithful and will provide a way out. – 1 Cor 10:13God doesn’t want us to fail.

MAKING IT REAL (10 minutes)

James is a practical writer, and we want this stuff to stick. I’d like some of you to share, just a minute or so, some of the things you find yourself struggling with the most and anything you’ve just learned as we’ve read and talked.

So, if you’d like to share, come to the middle of the circle, identify your issue, maybe hold up the image if you want, and tell us from the heart what you think God is saying to you about that. Chances are there are others in the room who are struggling in the same way.

(Share time with students. It may take them a minute to warm up. If necessary, be open and share a struggle of yours. This openness might inspire them to share, too.)

CLOSING PRAYER (5 minutes)

We are going to pray for each other. Pair off with someone. Ask them how you can pray for them and spend a few moments praying for each other.
