Lesson Plans: Proper 15 (B)

Old Testament Lesson Plans: Solomon Asks for Wisdom

Scripture: 1 Kings 2:10-12, 3:3-14

We continue to remember Israel’s leaders and how they strived to serve God. Each had their own challenges and gifts. The need for faithful leadership continues today and we seek wisdom from how these leaders sought the welfare of their people and showed their devotion to God.

As we move from King David’s reign to King Solomon’s, we see that Solomon had different gifts, tasks and leadership style. Each man sought to serve God, each in his own way.

New Testament Lesson Plans: We Become What We Eat

Scripture: John 6:51-58

Nutritionists will assure us that we are what we eat. Jesus, long before nutritionists, told us that we become what we eat. And so Jesus invites us to become one with him by eating his flesh and by drinking his blood. Our task is to trust that “whoever eats this bread will live forever.”
