开头的祷告(5分钟)
参见：开头的祷告
背经节(12分钟)
你们要在主面前降卑，主就必叫你们升高。-雅各书 4:10
在孩子们中间有一个能够正确说出这段经文后，让每个人都在自己的圣经中查找出这段经文。
故事与讨论(15分钟)
引言：
在沙得拉、米斯甲和亚伯尼歌从火炉中幸存下来后不久，尼布甲尼撒王有一个令人不安的异象。但以理为国王解释了这个异象，并告诉他，除非他放弃罪恶的生活，承认神是万主之主，否则他会像野兽一样生活多年。
正如但以理所说，这个异象成真了，尼布甲尼撒王像野兽一样生活，直到他最终改变了自己的生活方式。事实上，他甚至说：“现在我尼布甲尼撒赞美、高举、尊敬天上的王，因为祂一切的作为全是真的，祂的道路是公平的，因为祂能使那行动骄傲的降为卑。”（但以理书 4:37）
但之后，他的儿子伯沙撒登基为王。伯沙撒王没有尊崇上帝，也没有谦卑自己。相反，他尽力与主对抗。然后，一个信息以一种奇怪的方式传达给他。让我们读一读以找出那个信息是什么。
读 但以理书5:1-30
朗读这段经文，让孩子们用自己的圣经跟着读。
（在这段经文中，占卜者、占星家和卜者是指使用魔法和星象来预测未来的人。）
问题讨论：
1.伯沙撒王和他的大臣们敬拜哪些神？（他们敬拜金银）
2.他们喝酒时，什么在墙上写字？（人手的指头）
3.王为什么要但以理前来见他？（他希望但以理能告诉他写的是什么意思）
4.伯沙撒的罪过为什么比他父亲还大？看看22-23节。（虽知道这一切，仍不谦卑，甚至与神对抗）
5.但以理如何描述王所夸耀的？（不能看、不能听，无知无识）
6.墙上的字是什么意思？（神已经数算你国的年日，使其终止）
7.自夸和谦虚之间有什么区别？（允许讨论）
课堂活动(20分钟)
应用(4分钟)
如果你有额外的时间，让每个孩子写下他们自己的简短祷告。他们的祷告应该是像税吏那样谦卑，而不是像法利赛人那样自夸或骄傲。让他们写下会让神喜悦的祷告。
我们现在已经学到，美名是通过一遍遍的实践建立起来的。要想拥有谦卑的美名，我们必须不断地尊崇并感谢神赐予我们的一切。在生活中，会有很多时候我们比别人拥有更多，拥有比街角那个孩子更新的玩具，或者比我们的朋友得到更好的成绩，但我们绝不能因为有人比我们不幸就看不起他人。同样，也不该认为我们拥有的一切都是因着我们自己的努力。一切美好的事物都来自神，只有祂值得我们的赞美。

THE PROPHET DANIEL
LESSON 3: A REPUTATION OF BEING HUMBLE
Through this Sunday school lesson, children learn that it is best to be humble and honor God, rather than be boastful and act selfishly.

MEMORY WORK (12 minutes) "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up." James 4:10 NIV
Play the "hangman" game with this short verse. After one of the kids is able to say the verse correctly, have everyone look it up in their own Bibles.
SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (15 minutes)
Introduction: Sometime after Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego survived the fiery furnace, King Nebuchadnezzar had a disturbing vision. Daniel interpreted the vision for the king, and told him that he would live like a wild animal for many years unless or until he gave up his sinful life by acknowledging God as Lord of all.
Just as Daniel said, the vision came true and King Nebuchadnezzar lived as a wild animal until he finally changed his ways. In fact, he even said, "Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble." (Dan. 4:37)
But sometime afterwards, his son, Belshazzar became king. King Belshazzar did not honor God, nor humble himself. Instead, he did his best to fight against the Lord. Then, a message came to him in a strange way. Let's read to find out what that message said. Read Daniel 5:1-30 Read the passage to the children as they follow along in their own Bible. (In this passage, enchanters, astrologers and diviners were magicians and people who told the future using tricks and stars.) Discussion Questions: 1. What gods did King Belshazzar and his nobles praise? (They praised gods of gold and silver.) 2. While they were drinking, what did they see writing on the walls? (Fingers of a human hand.) 3. Why did the king ask Daniel to come to him? (He hoped Daniel could tell him what the writing meant.) 4. Why was the sin of Belshazzar even greater than his father? see verse 22-23. (Although he knew the truth, he chose not to humble himself, and even fought against the Lord.) 5. How did Daniel describe the things that the king was praising? (They couldn't see or hear or understand.) 6. What did the writing on the wall say? (The king's reign is at an end and his kingdom will be given away.) 7. What is the difference between being boastful and being humble? (Allow for discussion.)

Music
APPLICATION (10 minutes) If you have extra time, have each child write down his or her own short prayer. Their prayer should be one of humility like the tax collector, not boastful or proud like the Pharisee. Have them write down what they could say that would be pleasing to God. We have learned now that a reputation is built by doing something over and over. To have a reputation for being humble, we must constantly honor and give thanks to God for all things. There will be many times in our lives that we will have more than someone else, have a newer toy than the kid down the street, or get a better grade than our friend, but we must never look down on someone else because they are less fortunate. Likewise, we should never think that whatever it is we have is because of something we did. All good things come from God, and He alone is worthy of our praise.
NEXT WEEK Ever hear of shark repellent? How about man-eating lion repellent. Come back next week to see if there is such a thing.
