Proverbs: New 4-Week Junior High Series

A new 4-week junior high series on wisdom from the book of Proverbs. Tacos or pizza? Sit in the front row or hide in the back? Hit “send” or think twice? Life’s basically one big multiple-choice quiz — and guess what? We don’t always get the answers ahead of time (but God does offer us some help).  That’s why the junior high years are the perfect time to talk about wisdom — aka how not to totally wipe out in the decision-making department. In this series, students will learn: Wisdom means picking God’s way... even when it’s not the easy, flashy, or nacho-cheese-covered option. Trusting God is better than trying to be the boss of everything (control freaks, take notes). Words are powerful — wise people use them to lift others up, not take them down like a WWE smackdown. Pride makes you think you’re the main character. Humility helps you realize... other people exist. Heads up! This whole bundle is digital-only—no carrier pigeons or snail mail involved. After you check out, we’ll send a download link straight to your inbox so you can grab all the goodies.  ONE YEAR JUNIOR HIGH CURRICULUM, VOLUME 2 This series is one of many in the One Year Junior High Curriculum, Vol 2, which saves you 79% on our new year long curriculum that addresses the most important issues that students this age face.
