WISE: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON WISDOM
WEEK 1 BIG IDEA:  WISDOM COMES FROM GOD

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. 

You don't have to be the perfect leader. Your involvement in our ministry is exactly what our kids need. So, instead of being down on yourself for all of the ways you could be better, for all of the things you wish you could’ve done but haven’t yet, let’s change our perspective on them a bit — let’s see them as opportunities for you and your kids to learn about yourselves and the world around you. Let’s see them as opportunities to grow.
