等孩子(10分钟) 拼图游戏 | 七巧板经节拼图
把约翰福音15:5写在黑板上。在每个孩子到达时，给他们一份七巧板拼图、剪刀和一本圣经。必要时帮助孩子们使用剪刀，或在课前将拼图剪好，放在不同的信封里。让孩子们把所有的拼图片倒过来放在桌子上，看看他们是否能把拼图拼成一个完美的正方形。几分钟后，很可能没有成功，让他们把拼图片翻过来，在圣经中查找经文。然后让他们边看经文边把拼图拼起来，这应该很容易。对于那些迟到的孩子，可以跳过第一部分。

背经节(12分钟)
我是葡萄树，你们是枝子；住在我里面的，我也住在他里面，这人就多结果子；因为离了我，你们就不能作什么。 -约翰福音15:5
孩子们会在开场活动中熟悉这节经文。问孩子们，谁是葡萄树？谁是枝子？只要我们住在耶稣里，我们就能做什么？在讨论并重复这节经文几遍后，看看是否有人能凭记忆说出这节经文。
课堂活动(10分钟)
故事与讨论(15分钟)
读 约翰福音15:1-12
问题讨论：
1. 不结果子的枝子会怎么样？
2. 对那些结了果子的枝子做什么会使它们结得更多？(被修剪）
3. "住在"耶稣里意味着什么？ (意味着相信祂，顺服祂，并在生活中每天寻求祂的指引。)
4. 耶稣希望我们如何结出果实？ (通过帮助他人，与他人分享耶稣，有良好的态度，顺从父母等方式来服事祂。)
5. 我们怎样才能保持在耶稣的爱中？(通过顺服祂。）
6. 为什么耶稣要告诉我们要住在祂的爱里？(这样我们就会有满满的喜乐。）
课堂活动(20分钟)
应用(4分钟)
我们今天学到，与耶稣保持联结是非常重要的。耶稣给予我们丰富的生命。一棵果树的枝子如果不连接在树上，就不能生长或结出任何果实。枝子从树上获得所有的营养。同样，如果我们不是耶稣的一部分，就不能做善工，也不能结果子。我们的生命来自于祂。耶稣说："我的肉是真正的食物，我的血是真正的饮料。吃我肉喝我血的人，就住在我里面，我也住在他里面。活的父怎样差我来，我又因父活着，照样，那吃我的人，也要因我活着。"(约翰福音6:55-57）本周，让我们通过阅读圣经，以祂的名祷告，并与他人分享当他们属于耶稣时，他们可以拥有多么美妙和喜乐的生活，来得耶稣的供应。
下节课
你是否曾在餐厅或聚会上不小心打翻了一杯苏打水。哎呀! 所有的汽水都浪费了。下周我们将了解到一个女人把一整瓶昂贵的香膏倒在别人的脚上。但这一切没有被浪费。

DISCOVERING JESUS
LESSON 4: WE CAN LIVE FOR JESUS
In this lesson, children will learn that apart from Jesus, we have no life, and when we are living for Jesus we can bear much fruit.
TOPICS Following Jesus, Jesus, Eternal Life, Spiritual Growth
AS KIDS ARRIVE (10 minutes) Tangram Verse Puzzle (Activity) Click here Write John 15:5 on the board. As each child arrives, give them a copy of the Tangram verse puzzle, scissors and a Bible. Assist the kids with the scissors when necessary, or cut the pieces before class, placing them in separate envelopes. Have the kids put all the pieces upside down on the table and see if they can put the puzzle together into a perfect square. After a few minutes, most likely without success, have them turn the pieces over and look up the verse in their Bible. Then have them put the puzzle together while looking at the verse, which should be quite easy. For kids who arrive late, you can skip the first part.

MEMORY WORK (12 minutes) "I am the vine, you are the branches. If you remains in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:5 NIV The children will be familiar with this verse from the opening activity. Ask the children, Who is the Vine? Who are the branches? What can we do so long as we remain in Jesus? After discussing and repeating the verse a few more times, see if anyone is able to say it from memory.
CLASS EXERCISE (10 minutes) Plugged In (Object Talk) Click here
SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (15 minutes) Read John 15:1-12 Discussion Questions: 1. What happens to branches that do not bear fruit? (They are cut off.) 2. What is done to the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more? (They are pruned.) 3. What does it mean to "remain" in Jesus? (It means to believe in Him, obey Him, and seek His guidance everyday of our life.) 4. How does Jesus want us to bear fruit? (To serve Him by helping others, by sharing Jesus with others, by having a good attitude, by obeying parents, etc.) 5. How can we remain in the Love of Jesus? (By obeying Him.) 6. Why did Jesus tell us about remaining in in His love? (So we will be filled with overflowing joy.)
CLASS EXERCISE (15 minutes) Stay Connected (Game) Click here
APPLICATION (4 minutes) We have learned today that staying connected to Jesus is very important. Jesus gives us abundant life. A branch of a fruit tree cannot grow or produce any fruit if it is not attached to the tree. The branch gets all of its nourishment from the tree. Likewise we cannot do good things, or bear good fruit if we are not part of Jesus. Our life comes from Him. Jesus said, "My flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me." (John 6:55-57 NIV) This week, let's feed on Jesus by reading our Bibles, praying in His name, and by sharing with others what a wonderful, joyful life they can have when they belong to Jesus.
NEXT WEEK Have you ever been in a restaurant or at a party and you accidentally knocked over a glass of soda. Oops! All that soda wasted. Next week we will learn about a woman who emptied a whole bottle of expensive perfume on someone's feet. But none of it was wasted.
