背经节(10分钟)

主，我的神啊，我要全心称赞你；我要荣耀你的名，直到永远。-诗篇 86:12

与孩子们一起讨论我们可以用哪些方式赞美神。例子包括：跳舞、唱歌、演奏乐器、跪拜、举手、跳跃、欢呼等。请孩子们分享他们最喜欢的方式。然后把孩子们分成两组，以小比赛的方式，用上述方式中任意一种有创意地背诵这节经文，看哪组表现更好。

圣经故事与讨论(15分钟)

导言：

在大卫成为王之后不久，他决定将一件极为宝贵的宝物带回“大卫城”（即耶路撒冷），这件宝物就是“神的约柜”。约柜是用金子包裹的，里面装着神的百姓在旷野时吃的“吗哪”和刻有十诫的石板。

当约柜被带回大卫城时，大卫王满心欢喜。让我们一起来读读这段故事，看看当约柜进入城中时，大卫做了什么事。

(在读经前，可告诉孩子们：“以弗得”是一种无袖、套头式的细麻布礼服，是祭司在敬拜神时穿的衣服（参考撒上2:12、27-28）。也可以展示刚才使用过的涂色页作为参考。)

读撒母耳记下 6:12-23（大卫在耶和华面前跳舞）

讨论问题：

当人们抬着神的约柜走了六步时，大卫王做了什么？（他献上牛和肥牛犊为祭。）
当神的约柜靠近耶路撒冷时，大卫王全力做了什么？（他在耶和华面前跳舞。）
大卫在迎接约柜时心情如何？（充满喜乐与激动。）
大卫王穿的是什么？（以弗得。）
他为什么只穿以弗得？（可能是出于敬拜的谦卑，也可能是为了更自由地跳舞。）
当约柜进入城中时，还能听到什么？（欢呼声与号角声。）
当大卫的妻子米甲看见他穿得少少在街上跳舞时，她有什么反应？（她心里轻视他。）
在第21节中，大卫如何回应他妻子的指责？（他说他是在耶和华面前这样做的，并且愿意更卑微。）
大卫不会因为他人的看法而放弃在主面前表达喜乐。我们如何也能这样做？（鼓励孩子自由回答。）

故事 | 我可以用舞蹈赞美祂

如果时间允许，这个故事非常适合在课堂中再次讲述。即使以前读过，也值得重复，因为可以加深印象。

应用(5分钟)

当神的约柜最终归回耶路撒冷时，大卫王喜乐满怀，他不禁跳舞、欢庆。这正是我们该有的赞美与敬拜态度。我们不该因别人的目光而压抑自己的喜乐；也不该为了迎合别人去模仿他们的方式。最重要的，是神看重我们内心的敬拜。

米甲从窗户中看大卫跳舞时犯了一个大错：她轻视并批评他。她认为丈夫的行为不配王的身份，但她错了。为什么王不能在神面前表达敬拜和快乐呢？她的苦毒毁掉了他们的婚姻。若她明白敬拜的真意、不去论断丈夫，也许他们可以一同在主前跳舞。

今天的重点是：人们敬拜神的方式不同。不要因别人敬拜的方式与你不同而轻看他们。如果某人真心从心里敬拜，那就是神所喜悦的。在神面前跳舞是可以的，只要这种舞蹈是庄重并荣耀神的。

这种敬拜的态度，不该只停留在教堂里。你在生活的各个方面——玩耍、上学、打扫房间、帮父母洗碗、照顾弟妹时——都应有同样的喜乐态度，为主而做！

MEMORY WORK (10 minutes)

"I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever." Psalm 86:12 NIV

Talk about the different ways we can praise the Lord. Some examples may be dancing, singing, playing music, bowing down, raising our hands, jumping up and down, and shouting. Have the children share which ways they like best. Then, divide the class into two teams. The challenge is for each team to outdo the other in saying the memory verse in a creative way using some of the examples given.

SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (15 minutes)

Introduction:

Soon after David became King, he decided to capture a precious treasure and bring it back to the City of David, known also as Jerusalem. It was the Ark of God, also known as the Ark of the Covenant, and it was covered in gold. Inside were some treasures, such as the stones containing the Ten Commandments and some of the manna God's people ate while wandering in the desert. Bringing the ark of God back to the City of David made King David very happy. Let's read about what happened as David entered the city with the ark of God.

(Before reading the story, let the children know that an ephod is a sleeveless, pullover garment made of fine linen cloth. It was a common garment worn by priests while worshipping the Lord (See 1 Samuel 2:12, 27-28). You may also want to refer to the coloring page used earlier as an example.)

Read 2 Samuel 6:12-23 (David Dances Before the Lord)

Discussion Questions:

1. What did King David do after the people carried the Ark of God six steps? (He sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf.)

2. What did King David do with all his might as the Ark of God approached Jerusalem? (He danced before the Lord.)

3. How would you describe how David felt as he brought back the ark of God? (Full of joy and excitement.)

4. What was King David wearing? (An ephod.)

5. Why do you think David stripped down to wearing only an ephod? (Perhaps as an act of worship or to give him more freedom to move.)

6. What else could be heard as the ark of God arrived into the city? (Shouts and trumpets.)

7. When David's wife, Micah, saw him dancing in the street wearing very little, how did she react? (She despised him in her heart.)

8. In verse 21, how did David respond to his wife about his behavior? (He said he did it before the Lord and he will become even more humbled in his own eyes.)

9. David would not let the thoughts of others deprive him of showing joy before the Lord. How can we do the same in whatever we do? (Allow for answers.)

If you have time, this is an excellent story to read about dancing before the Lord. Even if you have already read this story sometime in the past, it would be helpful for your students to hear it again.

APPLICATION (5 minutes)

When the Ark of God finally returned to Jerusalem, King David was full of joy. He could not help dancing and celebrating before the Lord. Our praise and worship should be the same. We should not hold back our joy because of what others might think of us. In addition, we should not do what others do just to fit in. The only thing that matters, and what God cares about, is what is in our hearts. If someone feels like raising his or her hands in the air or clapping, that is fine. If someone doesn't feel like raising his or her hands or clapping, that is also fine. Our worship and praise should only be for the Lord, not for others to judge.

While watching King David dancing from the window, his wife Micah made a big mistake. She criticized and despised him. She believed that David's actions were foolish and unbecoming for a king. However, she was wrong. Why should a king not be able to express joy and happiness for God? Her bitterness ruined their marriage. Had she embraced the true meaning of worship and not judged her husband, perhaps they could have danced together before the Lord.

The main thing to take away from today's lesson is that people worship and praise the Lord in different ways. Don't look down on someone because he or she worships the Lord in a different way from you. If someone is truly worshiping from his or her heart, that is pleasing to God. It is also fine to dance before the Lord, so long as the dance is in good taste and glorifies God. This attitude should also carry over into the rest of your life, not only while worshiping at church. You should have the same joyful attitude no matter what you are doing, whether it is playing, studying at school, cleaning your room, helping your mom or dad with the dishes, or watching your younger brother or sister. Do it for the Lord!
