Bishop Justus Church of England School

3. Let the light of Christ shine in our lives
Gather
The Lord be with you
And also with you
Let the light of Christ shine in our lives

4. Receive
Lord God, I’m your servant, and you’ve made me king in my father’s place. But I’m very young and know so little about being a leader. And now I must rule your chosen people, even though there are too many of them to count.
Please make me wise and teach me the difference between right and wrong. Then I will know how to rule your people. If you don’t, there is no way I could rule this great nation of yours.
From the book of 1 Kings chapter 6 verses 6-9

5. (This is an example of a wise person in the bible.)
Engage
Solomon signed a treaty with the king of Egypt and married his daughter.
At that time, there was no temple for worshiping the Lord, and everyone offered sacrifices at the local shrines. Solomon loved the Lord and followed his father David’s instructions, but Solomon also offered sacrifices and burned incense at the shrines.
(This is an example of a wise person in the bible.)

6. Engage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mb_yUFMs9g
Some discussion ideas …
What does being wise, mean to you?
What is the difference between wise and smart?
Who is the wisest person you know?
What examples of wisdom have you seen?
Discussion techniques - Go back to the Bible passage ask “How does the theme link with the Bible passage?”
Discuss the question in pairs for 30 seconds then invite a response from each pair.
Use quick-fire answers e.g. throw a soft bean bag / toy to a student, when they answer they throw it back and you quickly throw to another student.
Simplify the question - Invite quick one-word answers, write them on the board, then reflect on the answers – see connections.
Activity suggestion …
Make a list of things you would do if you were the wisest person in the world.

7. Respond
[Reflect for a minute on the worship theme and our engagement …]
Dear God,
Thank you for giving us the wisdom that we need to make the right choices and decisions in our lives.
May you guide us along the correct path in our lives, so that we may inspire others, with our wisdom.
Amen
Prayer / reflection technique – Give a summary of the theme and any responses that students may have made, then invite everyone to be still (remind no books open etc – lessen distraction). To pray or reflect on today’s worship. Be quiet for one minute. Then say the prayer …

8. Go out into the world with the light of Christ
Let us bless the Lord
Thanks be to God
Go out into the world with the light of Christ
