Bonus videos and free resources for the Book Smart children’s ministry curriculum (5 weeks · Kids & PreK). Five Bible stories about real wisdom from God’s Word: Ezra reading the Law, Esther speaking up, Isaac’s wells, King Rehoboam’s choice, and being doers of the Word.
📖 Memory Verse: Psalm 119:105
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105, BSB)
Week 1 — Ezra Reads God’s Word to the People (Nehemiah 8:1–12)
A related story: King Josiah finds God’s Word, hears it read aloud, and it changes a whole nation, just like the crowd that listened to Ezra.
Week 2 — Esther Speaks Up for Her People (Esther 4:9–5:8)
Week 3 — Isaac Digs Wells and Makes Peace (Genesis 26:12–33)
A related story: Abraham lets Lot choose the land first instead of fighting over it, the same peacemaking choice his son Isaac made at the wells.
Week 4 — King Rehoboam Chooses the Wrong Advice (1 Kings 12:1–16)
Week 5 — Doers of the Word (James 1:22–25)
A related story: Jesus’ wise builder hears His words and does them, the same point James makes with his picture of a mirror.
