WISE: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON WISDOM
WEEK 2 BIG IDEA: GOD CAN BE TRUSTED

SERIES OVERVIEW:

A lot of parents and kids alike focus more heavily on gleaning academic knowledge and gaining meaningful experiences, but teaching our kids to pursue wisdom will help them merge those fields and develop better, God-centered decision-making skills. Kids are placed in plenty of situations where they would need to exercise such discernment. While the wisdom they would need on a daily basis may not be on the scale of Solomon deliberating an argument between two women each claiming to be the rightful mother of a baby, kids will still collect valuable insight about wisdom from such stories. They will first determine wisdom comes from God, and that being wise also has a lot to do with saying the right words and asking the right questions. . . all of which we can ask of God, who will give them to us because God can be trusted.

Okay, be honest: do you know the names of every kid you’re leading or interacting with each week? If you meet a new kid, parent, or family this week, remembering their name is really important. It may sound silly, but it’s such a big deal! To remember a name more easily, here’s a quick tip: as soon as they introduce themselves, say their name back to them, out loud, repeatedly. The more you say it out loud, the more difficult it will be to forget it. But, like . . . don’t be weird about it, okay?
