介绍

这是撒种比喻系列的第一课。通过本课，孩子们将认识到神的话语是多么宝贵，以及我们为什么必须以真实的信心和理解，把神的话珍藏在心里，不让那恶者把它夺走。

主题

比喻、作见证

等孩子(10分钟)

在桌上摆放六七种不同的种子，例如西瓜籽、橙子籽、苹果籽、草籽、花籽、橡子和南瓜籽。孩子们到达后，请他们仔细观察桌上的种子，猜猜每一种是什么植物的种子。

课程正式开始前，告诉孩子们这些种子分别是什么。然后问他们：“一颗这么小的西瓜籽，怎么能长出那么大、那么好吃的西瓜呢？”“一颗橡子埋进土里，浇上水以后，怎么能长成一棵高大的橡树呢？”

补充建议：

一位名叫 Mike 的读者建议，也可以准备几种不同的土壤。把不同的土壤分别装进杯子，并贴上标签，例如“好土”“石头”和“沙子”。请孩子们想一想：哪一种土壤最适合种子生长？

背经节(12分钟)

你们往普天下去，传福音给万民听。（马可福音 16:15）

请几位自愿的孩子从自己的圣经中读出马可福音 16:15。向孩子们解释，这节经文告诉我们，要走进世界，撒下属灵的种子。

经文阅读与与讨论(15分钟)

引言：

今天，我们要开始学习一个新的系列：撒种的比喻。“撒种的人”也可以称为农夫。在这个系列中，我们将一起观察四组落在不同地方的种子。虽然耶稣在比喻中讲的是种子，但这个故事真正要告诉我们的，是关于人的道理。今天，我们要看看落在路旁的种子，为什么像那些对神毫无兴趣的人。

读马太福音 13:3-4、19（撒种的比喻：落在路旁的种子）

让孩子们在自己的圣经中找到马太福音 13:3-4、19。可以请几位孩子自愿朗读，也可以由老师读给全班听。

讨论问题：

1. “撒种”是什么意思？撒种的人还可以叫什么？（播种；农夫。）

2. 在今天的故事里，种子落在了哪里？（路旁。）

3. 落在路旁的种子发生了什么事？（飞鸟来，把种子吃尽了。）

4. 只要听过关于耶稣的福音，就能上天国吗？（不能。我们必须接受福音，并求神赦免我们的罪。）

5. 那恶者，也就是撒但，会试图把神的信息从我们心里夺走吗？（会！）

6. 那恶者为什么希望我们忘记神的信息？（因为这样我们就不会跟随神、敬拜神。）

7. 我们怎样才能不忘记神的信息？（阅读圣经、向神祷告、敬拜神。）

应用(2分钟)

神知道，我们还有很多东西需要学习，也知道我们可能无法理解圣经中的每一件事。神希望我们愿意付出努力，通过阅读圣经和祷告，更多地认识祂。只要我们愿意寻求祂，神就乐意赐给我们知识和理解力。有些人却完全不愿意更多地认识神。这些人就像落在路旁的种子一样。

PARABLE OF THE SOWER

LESSON 1: Seeds that Fall on the Path

This first Sunday school lesson of a series about the parable of the sower will help the children discover how truly wonderful the Word of God is, and how we must keep it close to our hearts with truth and understanding. We must not let the evil one snatch it away.

TOPICS

Parables, Witnessing

AS KIDS ARRIVE (15 minutes)

Have six or seven different types of seeds on the table. For example, you could have watermelon, orange, apple, grass, flower, acorn, and pumpkin.

As the children arrive, have them examine the seeds on the table, and have them guess what types of seeds are displayed. Just before class starts, tell the children what types of seeds are on the table. Ask the kids how they think something as small as a watermelon seed can grow into such a delicious fruit. How can an acorn planted in the dirt and watered grow into an Oak tree? One visitor, Mike, suggested that it would also be helpful to have different types of soil available. You should place the variety of soils in separate cups and label them accordingly. For example, you might have cups labeled, “Good Soil,” “Rocks,” and “Sand.” Ask the children which soil would be best for the seeds.

MEMORY WORK (12 minutes)

"Go into all the world and preach the good news to everyone." Mark 16:15 NLT

Ask voluteers to read Mark 16:15 from their Bibles. Expalin that this verse tells us to go into the world and plant some spiritual seeds.

SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (15 minutes)

Introduction:

Today we will start a lesson series on the parable of the sower. Sower is another name for farmer. We will follow four different groups of seeds throughout this lesson series. We see that although Jesus was speaking about seeds in the parable, the story really applies to people. Today we will see how the seeds that fell on the path are like people that have no interest in God.

Matthew 13:3-4,19 (Parable of the Sower - seed that fell on the path)

Give each child a copy of the handout (Click here for handout) or have the kids find Matthew 13:3-4,19 in their Bibles. Ask for volunteers to read the passage or if you prefer, read it aloud to the children yourself.

Discussion Questions:

1. What does sow mean? What is another name for someone who sows seeds? (Plant, farmer.)

2. In our story today, where did the seeds fall? (On the path.)

3. What happened to the seed that fell on the path? (Birds came and ate it up.)

4. Will we get to heaven by just hearing the Good News about Jesus? (No, we must receive the Good News, and then ask God to forgive us.)

5. Does the evil one (Satan) try to steal God's message from our hearts? (Yes!)

6. Why would the evil one want us to forget God's message? (So we won't follow and worship God.)

7. How can we keep from forgetting God's message? (Read our Bibles, pray to God, Worship God.)

APPLICATION (2 minutes)

God knows we have a lot to learn and that we may not understand everything in the Bible. God wants us to make the effort to learn more about Him by reading our Bibles and by praying. God will gladly give us knowledge and understanding if we seek Him. There are some people that have no desire to learn more about God, these people are like the seeds that fall on the path.
