介绍

通过本课，孩子们将学习到：人生中会有信心被考验的时候。生活并不总是一帆风顺，在困难的时刻，我们需要让对神的信心帮助我们站立得住、不被淹没。

主题

相信、勇气、信心、神迹

等孩子(10分钟)

孩子到达时，可以玩一个“刽子手”（Hangman）游戏，谜底可以使用今天的课程标题，或本课的背诵经文。

+++++++++++++++

译者注：刽子手（Hangman）游戏是一种简单的猜字母游戏：

由一个人先在心里想好一个词或一句话，用横线表示每个字母；其他人轮流猜字母。每猜对一个字母，就把它填在相应位置的横线上；每猜错一次，就画出“刽子手”或一个6/7笔划的字的一笔。目标是在图画画完之前，把正确的词或句子全部猜出来。

背经节(12分钟)

人非有信，就不能得神的喜悦；因为到神面前来的人，必须信有神，且信他赏赐那寻求他的人。 -希伯来书 11:6

与孩子们一起讨论：信心如何激励信徒真心寻求神。全班一起多朗读几次这节经文，然后请志愿者背诵。

圣经故事与讨论(15分钟)

引言：

耶稣吩咐门徒先上船渡到对岸，自己则留下来遣散众人并祷告。快到清晨时，门徒仍在海上艰难前行，因为狂风巨浪使他们寸步难行。当他们以为看到一个鬼怪向船走来时，门徒非常害怕。

读马太福音 14:22–33（耶稣在水面上行走）

讨论问题：

为什么耶稣没有和门徒一起上船？（他留下来遣散众人并祷告。）
门徒为什么这么难到达对岸？（风浪很大，使航行变得困难。）
门徒为什么没有认出那是耶稣，而以为是鬼怪？（他们没想到耶稣会在水面上行走。）
彼得走了几步却开始下沉，这算失败吗？（不算。）
那些不敢离开船的门徒是不是缺乏勇气？为什么是或不是？（开放讨论。）
彼得为什么会开始下沉？（他把目光从主身上移开，看见风浪，就害怕了。）
当彼得喊“主啊，救我！”时，耶稣做了什么？（耶稣立刻伸手拉住他。）
当人生的风暴把我们摇来摇去时，我们是否总能认出主的同在？（开放讨论。）

应用(4分钟)

在人生的风暴中，我们不一定总能立刻认出主的同在；但耶稣一直与我们同在，当我们呼求时，祂愿意伸手拯救我们。没有人被要求真的在水面上行走，但人生中一定会有信心被考验的时刻。生活并不总是容易的，让你对神的信心在困难时期托住你。

想一想：如果我们足够信靠耶稣，愿意走出“船”，走出自己的舒适区，我们还能经历哪些神奇的事情呢？

THE MIRACLES OF JESUS

Through this lesson, children will learn that there will be times in life when our faith is tested. Life will not always be easy, and we will need to let our faith in God help keep us afloat during the difficult times in our lives.

TOPICS

Believing, Courage, Faith, Miracles

AS KIDS ARRIVE (10 minutes)

As children arrive, play a game of hangman using today's lesson title or the memory verse as the hangman phrase.

OPENING PRAYER AND PRAISE (5 minutes)

MEMORY WORK (12 minutes)

"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6 NIV

Discuss how faith motivates believers to earnestly seek God. Read the verse together several times as a class and then ask volunteers to recite it by memory.

SCRIPTURE READING AND DISCUSSION (15 minutes)

Introduction:

Jesus instructs the disciples to get into the boat and go ahead of Him, while he stays behind to dismiss the crowds and to pray. It is nearly morning and the disciples are still struggling to reach the other side. Their progress is slow due to the wind and waves that are tossing them around on the sea. The disciples are terrified when they think they see a ghost approaching their boat.

Read Matthew 14:22-33 (Jesus Walks on Water)

Discussion Questions:

1. Why didn't Jesus get in the boat and leave with His disciples? (He stayed behind to dismiss the crowds and to pray.)

2. Why were the disciples having such a hard time getting to the other side? (The wind and waves made it difficult.)

3. The disciples thought they saw a ghost, why didn't they recognize it was Jesus? (They didn't expect to see Jesus walking on the water.)

4. Did Peter fail because he took a few steps and began to sink? (No.)

5. Did the other disciples who wouldn't even attempt to leave the safety of the boat lack courage? Why or why not? (Allow for answers.)

6. Why did Peter begin to sink into the water? (He took his focus off the Lord, saw the wind and became afraid.)

7. What did Jesus do when Peter cried out, "Lord, save me!" (Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him.)

8. Do we always recognize the Lord's presence as life’s storms are tossing us around? (Allow for answers.)

APPLICATION (3 minutes)

It may not always be easy to recognize the Lord in the middle of life's storms; however, Jesus is always there for us, willing to reach out and save us when we cry out for help. None of us has been asked to walk on water, but there will be times in life when our faith is tested. Life will not always be easy, let your faith in God help keep you afloat during the difficult periods in your life. What cool things could we do, if we trusted Jesus enough to step out of our boat, out of our comfort zone?
