| LESSON OBJECTIVE |
Topics:
Word of God, Bible, Wisdom
After completing this lesson, the children will learn that the Bible
is our source for heavenly wisdom. Hearing, reading, studying, memorizing
and meditating on the Word of God will help us live a good life
|
| AS KIDS ARRIVE ( 15 minutes
) |
If most of the children have completed their Old and
New Testament Books of the bible handout sheets, use the option shown
below. Otherwise, you can continue with writing down the books of
the Bible. Also, allow kids an opportunity to demonstrate how far
they can go towards getting stars on the Starboard.
Wisdom Option:
As the children arrive, have them turn to
Proverbs 1 in their Bibles and begin reading. (It is alright that
children start at different times.) Have the kids read to themselves,
except when they come to the words WISDOM and WISE, to say those words
out loud. As more and more kids arrive, the words wisdom and wise
will be heard quite often.

Book Circle
(Game)
Have the children sit in a circle, and select one child to start the
game. That child must say the first book of the Bible, and going clockwise,
the next child says the next book and so on. Instruct the children
that if they do not know the book on their turn they can say pass,
and the next child to the right can try. You can also time the kids
to see how fast they can name all the books in this fashion, and even
set a quicker goal to see if they can reach it. The child that finishes
can start the next round.

| SCRIPTURE READING
AND DISCUSSION ( 15 minutes ) |
Introduction:
The Bible is our source for Wisdom. As you discovered a little while
ago, the Proverbs are full of wise sayings. King Solomon asked for
wisdom instead of riches or long life, so God gave him wisdom unlike
anyone else. Daniel was also very wise, because he walked in the ways
of our Lord. The Bible is full of wise men, but they all had one thing
in common. They knew the Will of God, and followed His Word. Let's
see what the Bible says about wisdom.
2 Timothy 3:14-17
Discussion Questions:
1. In verse 15, what are the holy Scriptures able to do? (Make you
wise for salvation through faith)
2. All of Scripture is useful for what? (Teaching, rebuking, correcting,
and training)
3. Will knowing the Word of God help you do good works? Why?

| APPLICATION ( 2 minutes) |
Read James 3:13-17
to the children. Explain that this scripture talks about two kinds
of wisdom. The person with wisdom that comes from heaven is peace-loving,
considerate, submissive, merciful, produces good fruit and so on.
But the other kind, worldly wisdom is from the devil. From it only
comes selfish ambition, envy, disorder and every evil practice. The
Bible is our source for heavenly wisdom Hearing, reading, studying,
memorizing and meditating on the Word of God will help us live a good
life. And when we ask God for wisdom, He will gladly give it to us.
