背经节(12分钟)

惟独从上头来的智慧，先是清洁，后是和平，温良柔顺，满有怜悯，多结善果，没有偏见，没有假冒。 -雅各书3:17

“惟独从上头来的智慧，先是______，后是______、、、、、。”

故事与讨论(15分钟)

介绍：

根据圣经词汇表，智慧是辨别对错的能力。智慧还与一个难以做到的词有关，这个词以字母“H/谦”开头。你能猜到是什么吗？让我们一起读雅各书3:13-18，试着找出答案。

读雅各书 3:13-18

讨论问题：

与智慧相关的这个“H/谦”开头的词是什么？（第13节：谦卑）
为什么智慧与谦卑相关？（因为要承认神的话是正确的……我们可能是错的，就需要谦卑）
雅各告诉我们怎样判断一个人是否有智慧？（第13节：通过良好的生活和谦卑的行为来表现）
雅各描述了另一种智慧——属世的智慧。这种智慧的特征是什么？（第14、15节：嫉妒、私心）
什么是私心？（做事时只想着自己，争强好胜等）
雅各描述了来自天上的智慧的样子，描述一下。（第17节：先是清洁，后是和平，温良柔顺，满有怜悯，多结善果，没有偏见，没有假冒）
我们如何得到这种智慧？提示：回看雅各书1:5（我们应当求神，确信祂会赐我们智慧）

MEMORY WORK (12 minutes)

"But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. ” James 3:17 NIV

Write the verse on the board and after saying it once, erase one of the words that describes wisdom. For example, pure. After each time they say it, erase one more word until all that is left is the following:

“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all ______; then ______, ______, ______, _______, and ______, ______, and ______.”

SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (15 minutes)

Introduction:

Wisdom, as described in a Bible concordance, is the ability to recognize right from wrong. Wisdom is also associated with a very difficult word to live by that starts with an ‘H.’ Can you guess what that is? Let’s read James 3:13-18 to try to figure it out.

Read James 3:13-18

Discussion Questions:

1. What is that "H" word that is associated with wisdom? (Verse 13: Humility.)

2. Why is wisdom associated with humility? (Because you have to be humble in order to admit that God’s Word is right… and we might be wrong.)

3. How does James tell us we can know if someone is wise? (Verse 13: They are to show it by their good life and the humble things they do.)

4. James describes a different kind of wisdom- an earthly wisdom. What are signs of this earthly wisdom? (Verses 14,15: Being envious or jealous and having selfish ambitions.)

5. What are selfish ambitions? (When you do things and think only of yourself, rivalry, etc.)

6. James describes what wisdom from Heaven looks like, describe it. (Verse 17: Pure, peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.)

7. How can we get this wisdom? Hint: Look back to James 1:5 (We should ask God, believing that He will give us wisdom.)
