Bible Story: The Wise and Foolish Builders (Matthew 7:24-27)
Family Challenge Have some fun building something as a family this week. Bust out the Legos or Tinker Toys, Lincoln Logs or K’nex. If you’re really ambitious, grab some sheets and blankets and build a fort in the living room or use scrap lumber to construct one outside. As you’re working, talk about the story of the wise and foolish builders from Matthew 7. Remind kids that every time they hear God speaking and actually do what He says, it’s like adding another brick to building a wise life. Remind them if they ignore what God’s saying, and don’t act on it, life is much harder. Share some examples of times when you were like the wise builder and put God’s word into action and share about other times when you suffered because you ignored it.

Dinnertime Discussion At dinner time this week, ask these questions to get your family talking. 1. If you could build an entire house out of your favorite food, what food would you use? 2. What would it be like to live there? How would it hold up in a storm? 3. Did you have anything that felt like a storm in your day? 4. Is there anything God told you to do today that you’re glad you did or wished you’d done?
Use these questions to help kids discover things God may be prompting them to do and help them put a plan in place to do it. Remind kids that every time they act on what God tells them to do, they’re building stormproof lives, built to handle anything that the world throws their way.
