Under Construction - Week 5
King Solomon is best known for his wisdom and for building God’s temple. Thankfully, he passed on his wisdom so others could have a strong foundation for building up their faith. In this 5-week series, kids will hear from Solomon and the wisdom he shared about the kind of life God wants to help us build. They'll see that God gives them directions to follow, listens to their requests, is worthy of their worship, and gives them true wisdom.
BIG IDEA: God helps us do big things.

God helps us do big things, but what counts as a big thing? Sometimes the biggest thing to someone can actually be really small, like a hug, encouraging words, or someone to just tell you everything is going to be okay. Sometimes these seemingly small things make the biggest impact. That makes it a big thing!
What are some big things you could do ...
For a family member?
For a friend?
For your teacher?
To help your community?
Write your ideas on paper so we can remember that we've got big things to do!
Pray: God, thank you for all the big things you do! Help us to go to you when we have big things of our own to do. We know that we are always lovingly under construction by you, and we'll forever put our trust in your guidance and wisdom. Amen.
