Some ideas: bouncing around within myself

WOW : 3/7/2010

Ice-breaking:
Bring some real fruits sample: Lemon, Lime, Apple, etc, and plants.
Do you know which plant bears what kind of fruit when they grow?

Basic points of the lesson for little ones:

1. What are the fruit/fruits of the Spirit of God?
   

• Can you get grapes from a thorn bush?
  
• What we plant is what grows. If we plant seeds (actions) of temper tantrums or being mean to others, what will grow?
  
• Seeds of the fruit of the Spirit always grow good, sweet fruit.

1. Ask the kids what love looks like (God's love(agape)--not feelings)? What does the fruit of kindness look like? etc.
2. God can help us when nobody else can. HE will help us to grow the fruit of the Spirit if we ask for his help, his Holy Spirit, every day.
3. Even when Holy Spirit living in us, we still have to choose (notice: your choice) to listen and obey God each day.

And you may wonder...
其实，圣经告诉我们，人是无法藉着自己去改变自己的恶，要想改变只有一个办法，
就是人 要悔改承认自己的罪，相信耶稣为救主，让圣灵充满，藉着圣灵的引导，
多读神的话，心中多积存良善，才能改变自己的行为。

Get a Fruit Banner: (team hands-on activity)

1. Team effort to create a "verses centric" banner on white board.
2. The verses come from Luke 6 theme today.

Texas-size Cross-word puzzle: theme, God the Father
There are 5 Across and 9 (or 8) Down tips for completing the puzzle.
Divide the class into two teams (most likely, Bogs vs. Girls - new idea, huh? :))

Each team gets to pick their name. Ready? 1-2-3, GO!

(NOTE: Picture to be posted later)
