Wisdom 7:7-11 Solomon prays for Wisdom
Hebrews 4:12-13 -- The Word is omniscient
Mark 10:17-30 -- The rich man asks how to get to heaven
Reflection -- Of what does your wealth consist? How does your wealth server the poor? (Youth feeding the homeless, coaching)
Activity -- Review questions
How is God's word like a two-edged sword? (It is a challenge to keep God's word. It is a comfort to have a strong advocate.)
How is God's word like a guiding star? (It aids us in doing right)
Propose an ending for the story about the rich man who asked Jesus how to get to heaven? Did he give all his belongings away? Did he turn his back on the world?
Here's some questions from the quiz:
1. Fill in the blank, "It is easier for a camel to pass through _________________, than a rich man to get to heaven." (the eye of a needle)
2. God is omnipotent (powerful) and omnipresent (everywhere). What is the Latin word for "all knowing"? (omniscient)
3. Rather than riches, beauty, health, or power, what did Solomon prayed for? (Wisdom)
