背经节(10分钟)
以和平的联索，竭力保守那灵的一。以弗所书4:3
在黑板上写下这节经文，读给全班听。然后请全班同学和你一起读这节经文。接下来，围坐在一张桌子旁，说这节经文的一两个词，然后把球滚给一个孩子。他/她再说几个词，把球滚给另一个孩子。继续滚球，每次背几个词，直到经节结束。如果时间允许，重复这个活动。
故事与讨论(15分钟)
引言：
今天的课讲合一，讲我们作为信徒如何一起工作，把荣耀给神。我们争取合一的主要方式是通过教会，但我们也应该关心社区信徒之间的合一，这样别人就会看到我们如何服事神，也会想认识祂。然而，合一并不容易。我们要学习我们的行为会如何影响合一，以及为什么合一对神很重要。
读 以弗所书4：1-6，11-16，启示录7：9-10（在地上和天上的合一）
问题讨论：
1.信徒们该如何对待彼此？(凡事卑微、温柔、恒忍，在爱里彼此担就）
2.我们怎样才能在圣灵中保持合一？(通过和平）
3. 为什么合一很重要？(因为我们事奉一位神，祂有能力控制一切）
4. 如何使用我们的独特性/个人恩赐？(在一起服事神并在信仰上变得成熟时，以提升鼓励他人的方式来使用我们的独特性/个人恩赐）
5.什么会伤害合一？(不在信仰中成长的信徒，不符合圣经的教导，欺骗/自私的人，等等)
6. 我们该如何说真话？(在爱中）
7. 合一最终来自哪里？ (基督)
8. 怎么知道合一是神所喜悦的？ (因为有一天在天国里赞美神时，我们会完全合一）
总结： 神并不期望我们与那些拒绝离弃自己的罪拒绝在信仰中成长的人寻求合一。神确实期望我们在与其他信徒一起服事时，通过谦卑、爱和日益依靠祂来尽责任。信徒们需要妥协和坚持不懈的努力才能合一。当我们真正寻求神的旨意并愿意一起工作时，合一是可以实现的。最重要的是，神有一天会在天国里让我们恢复完美的合一!
课堂活动(10分钟)
备选-课堂活动(10分钟)
应用(4分钟)
请孩子们思考一些和平的"标志"-- 包括 十字架、鸽子、橄榄枝、手语的 "我爱你 "等。解释这些标志是如何鼓励合一的（例如和平标志提醒我们要和谐相处，十字架告诉我们耶稣为所有人而死）。鼓励孩子们在本周与家人和朋友互动时寻找和平和合一的标志。提醒他们，谦卑和爱有助于我们服事神和他人。
下节课
下周再来学习神如何从罪的诅咒中更新我们，并应许更新这个世界。

GOD'S RESTORATION LESSON 4: FROM DIVISION TO UNITY
God wants His children to be unified as we work to further His kingdom. by Leah Pittsinger

MEMORY WORK (10 minutes)
“Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” Ephesians 4:3 NIV Write the verse on a white board and read it to the class. Then invite the class to read the verse with you. Next, while sitting around a table, say one or two words of the verse and then roll a ball to one of the children. Then he or she will say a few more words and roll the ball to another child. Continue rolling the ball and reciting the verse a few words at a time until the verse is complete. Repeat the activity if time allows.
SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (15 minutes) Introduction: Today’s lesson is about unity, or how we work together as believers to bring glory to God. The main way we strive for unity is through our church, but we should also care about unity among believers in our communities so others will see how we serve God and want to know Him too. However, unity isn’t easy. We’re going to learn how our actions affect unity and why it’s important to God.
Read Ephesians 4:1-6, 11-16, Revelation 7:9-10 (Unity on earth and in Heaven.)
Discussion Questions:
1.How should believers behave toward one another? (With humility, gentleness, patience, and love.)
2. How can we stay unified in the Spirit? (By seeking peace.)
3. Why is unity important? (Because we serve one God who has power over everything!)
4. How should our uniqueness/individual gifts be used? (In a way that lifts others up as we serve God together and become mature in our faith.)
5. What hurts unity? (Believers who don’t grow in their faith, unbiblical teachings, deceitful/selfish people, etc.)
6. How should we speak the truth? (In love.)
7. Where does unity ultimately come from? (Christ.)
8. How do we know unity is something that pleases God? (Because we will be perfectly unified one day as we praise Him in Heaven!)
Conclusion: God doesn’t expect us to seek unity with people who refuse to turn away from their sins and grow in faith. However, God does expect us to do our part by being humble, loving, and increasingly reliant on Him as we serve alongside other believers. It takes compromise and perseverance for believers to be unified. But, when we truly seek God’s plan and are willing to work together, unity can be achieved. And, best of all, God will restore us to perfect unity one day in Heaven! CLASS EXERCISE (10 minutes) Unity Figures (Craft) Click here
ALTERNATE CLASS EXERCISE (10 minutes) Choosing Peace (Activity) Click here
APPLICATION (4 minutes) Ask the children to think about some “signs” of peace – examples include a peace sign, cross, dove, olive branch, “I love you” in sign language, etc. Explain how these signs encourage unity (such as a peace sign reminding us to live in harmony or a cross showing us that Jesus died for everyone). Challenge the children to look for signs of peace and unity this week as they interact with their families and friends. Remind them that humility and love help us serve God and others.
NEXT WEEK Come back next week to learn how God renews us from sin's curse and promises to renew the world. CLOSING PRAYER (2 minutes) Further info? Click here
