Arrive before the official start of the class.
Set-up the chairs and tables according to the first activity.
Remembering students' name TIP: As the students come in, and since each Sunday sees new faces, I always have a ready activity for the students to do which involves writing their name.
Name Mnenomic
Hand out pieces of paper for the children to form an acrostic out of their name letters. This happens while the Worship Team inside the Worship Hall sings, and serves as an ice breaker for the class. At the same time, this allows late comers to still join in the main part of Sunday class.

Class Prayer
Ask student volunteer to be the prayer leader, or call on someone to start the session with a prayer.
Welcome Remarks
Quick introduction of who I am, our church, and our rules which basically are getting permission from teacher before leaving the group to go to the rest room, get water, etc; participate quietly and respectfully; and any other student suggestion the students they may have.
Scripture
Warning Against Worldliness What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions[a] are at war within you?[b] 2 You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. 4 You adulterous people![c] Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 5 Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, “He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us”? 6 But he gives more grace.Main points (Discussion)

- As sons and daughters of God, we are not of the world. Worldliness is not a kingdom attribute. We must live in this world, but not like this world.
- But how do we apply that in our lives every day?
- To do this, all of our actions must:
- Pursue God
- Be in communion with God and the Holy Spirit
- Bring me closer to Jesus Christ
- Not make me self-centered, appetite-driven, God-hating
- Not disobey God
- Not make me proud
- These are all difficult, and our human nature makes it doubly hard. We need a helper.
