展示我们对主的信心如何能够帮助我们免受恐惧的压迫。
主题
勇气，信仰，神的力量，保护，坚定立场，考验，信任
材料
2个塑料水瓶
旧手套
时间
大约5分钟
课前准备
取一个旧手套，在指节上画上或粘贴上以下字母：F - E - A - R/恐惧。
说明
1.做：
拿两个空的塑料水瓶，紧紧地拧上其中一个瓶盖。另一个瓶子不要上瓶盖。在课上，戴上手套握成拳头，展示出"Fear"这个词。然后击打两个瓶子。没有瓶盖的瓶子会被压碎，但紧紧拧好盖子的瓶子不会被压碎。把没有瓶盖的瓶子比作没有信心的人，而有盖子的瓶子比作有信心的人。虽然信心本身是看不见的，但信心所产生的效果是很容易看到的。
2.说：
今天演示一下如何看见信心。这里有两个空塑料瓶。它们看起来一样，但有一个区别。这个有盖子的瓶子充满了信心。虽然你现在看不见，但它确实存在。另一个瓶子没有信心——它是空的。
（戴上手套，展示出"Fear"这个词。）当恐惧来临时，这个没有信心的瓶子会发生什么？（允许各种回答，然后用拳头击碎瓶子。）看，恐惧能够把它压碎。
那么这个充满信心的瓶子呢？（击打有盖子的瓶子。）瞧，恐惧无法将其压碎。实际上，它甚至看起来没有受伤。有了信心，我们就能从神得到力量。耶稣曾对门徒说过：“你们为什么这样胆怯？你们还没有信心吗？”（马可福音4:40）我们无法看见信心本身，但信心所产生的果效，比如力量、勇气、心灵的平安和自制，我们可以很容易地看到。当我们对耶稣有信心时，我们不需要担心或害怕任何事情。

UNSEEN FAITH
This object talk demonstrates how faith in our Lord can help us from being crushed by fear.
TOPICS: Courage, Faith, Power of God, Protection, Stand Firm, Trials, Trust
MATERIALS: 2 plastic water bottles Old glove
DURATION: Approximately 5 minutes
PREPARATION: Before class, take an old glove and draw or glue the following letters on the knuckles: F - E - A - R.
WHAT YOU WILL DO: You will take two empty plastic water bottles, and tightly cap one of them. Do not cap the other bottle. During class, you will put on the glove and form a fist to show the word fear. Then you will hit both bottles. The uncapped bottle will crush, but the one that has the cap on tight will not crush. You will compare the uncapped bottle to a person without faith, and the capped bottle to a person who has faith. Although faith itself is not visible, what faith produces is easy to see. WHAT YOU WILL SAY: Today I want to demonstrate how we can see faith. Here I have two empty plastic bottles. They look the same, but there is a difference. This one with a cap is full of faith. You cannot see it now, but it is there. The other bottle does not have faith—it is empty. (Put on the glove showing the word fear.) What do you think will happen to this bottle without faith when fear comes along? (Allow for answers, and then smash the bottle with your fist.) See, fear was able to crush it. What about this bottle filled with faith? (Hit the capped bottle.) Look, fear could not crush it. In fact, it does not even look hurt. With faith, we get strength from God. Jesus once said to His disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?" (Mark 4:40) We cannot see faith itself, but what faith produces we can see quite easily, such as strength, courage, peace of mind, and self-control. We do not need to worry or be afraid of anything when we have faith in Jesus.
