I bet this idea has already been done but I want to mention it anyway.
Do it with kids or adults on the first lesson you meet.
Hand out blank labels for name cards to all.
I want you to write on the label "Child of God".
Then stand up and walk round introducing yourselves to everyone in the class. "Hi. I'm a child of God"
"Nice to meet you. So am I"
Just a 5 minute icebreaker to start the class.
The object of the lesson is see ourselves and each other as children of God more than our names and gender or other differences. Of course differences and our uniqueness are important. But the importance of seeing our common ground.
Criticism welcome. I used to be a teacher, not of Christianity but sometimes I wonder how I would teach it.
 
I think it is so easy to forget that we are all children of God. Especially when we fear or hate someone. So hard to see our bully as a child of God too.
 
I agree. I think if we realized that we are all children of God first, it would bring us together as brothers and sisters in Christ. Also, so many people loose their faith because their faith isn't grounded in their identity with Christ.
I'm studying to teach a class on faith, which puts a large focus on identity. My wife teaches the Sunday school class and I can't believe we haven't thought of this. I'll pass it on to her! Thank you!

I might be hesitant to do the lesson with some cynical teenagers. :)
 
Our common factor that brings us to being one body in Christ is that our faith rest in Christ. We are all students of the word of God ever learning, but not yet understanding all God wants to teach us. Opinions are speculations, but yet they send us to Gods word for truth by the Holy Spirit teacing us all God wants us to learn.
 
I was hoping some people might offer some suggestions how to tweak this activity to make it better. Or suggest a series of follow up activities.

I believe if all of us on this forum truly seek God and love Christ, we will rise above about intellectual pride and see each other as mere mortals, children of God. Who are honestly seeking Him more each day.

There is a lot of diversity, but the common ground is Christ love even though it can get heated at times and you just have to walk away from the stupid stuff and never get caught up in it.
