SERIES TEACHING SYNOPSIS

The Bible has a lot to say about being wise. Being wise comes from learning from life experiences, so can kids really make wise choices? Yes! Luke tells us that Jesus was growing in wisdom even as a boy. Kids may not make wise choices every time—most adult don’t either—but they can grow in wisdom when they learn some simple truths about where wisdom comes from. Instead of heaping pressure on kids to carefully make wise choices or get it right every time, we need to explore how wisdom is a journey we can take with God cheering us on as we walk in His way. This series encourages kids with truths about growing in wisdom like Jesus: He offers us sources to get it through His Word, the parents and leaders He has placed in our lives, and just asking Him. Most importantly, He offers us grace as we learn from our mistakes.

KONNECT LEADER NOTES

This series will come at the end of KONNECT for most campuses. Make sure to spend extra time just reflecting on the great year you’ve had with your kids instead of getting too bogged down in the lesson itself. Sometimes just making meaningful memories together is more important than making sure you got to every question or completed your game or craft just right. Be open to sharing what your time at KONNECT means to you personally as well. This kind of looking back on your relastionships reinforces the series teaching by showing that their friendships at church provides the very kind of advice, prayer support, self-awareness, and sharing that will allow them to grow in wisdom!
