Solomon's Wisdom - Sunday Stories for Families

About this sermon

1 Kings 3:5-15 Activity Sheets for Children can be found here: https://stebbes.org/online Wisdom is a gift from God which Solomon needed to rule God’s people. This was a good thing for Solomon to ask for because it showed that he wasn’t just thinking about himself. Spend some time thinking through the questions: 1. What sort of king was Solomon at the start? What was good about him? What did he get wrong? 2. How did this change after God had given him wisdom? 3. Why was Solomon’s request surprising? 4. What does it show about his desire to live as God’s king? 5 .Why did Solomon need wisdom? Why was God pleased with Solomon’s request? What does it mean to be wise? 6. What will a wise king do? How will they live and rule God’s people? 7. Who did they believe had given him this wisdom? 8. Why had God given him wisdom? 9. How is Jesus an even greater and wiser king than Solomon? Why is he a better and wiser king? 10. How should we respond to King Jesus? 11. What will it look like to live with him as your king? Are you living with him as your king? Why is it so good to live with Jesus as our king?
