Hello Reign Forest Friends,

Last Sunday in Reign Forest, we wrapped up the month in 1 & 2 Kings and learned about some of the kings of Israel and Judah.  A few kings, like Rehoboam and Ahab, led the people far from God with their foolish choices.  Other kings, like Hezekiah and Josiah, made wise choices and led the people back to God.  


Bottom Line:  Be wise because your choices matter!   We learned that our choices matter because they shape our lives and the lives of others.  When we make unwise choices, it can hurt us and others.  However, when we make wise choices, we live in a way that honors God and produces good things!  


Bible Memory Verse (letter F):  For this is how God loved the world:  He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.  


Blessings,
The RF Team
 

Hello Reign Forest Friends,

Week 3 Solomon Chooses WisdomIn week 3, we take a look at David’s son Solomon. Israel was a mighty nation when Solomon became king as a young man – and he knew that he couldn’t lead the people well on his own. So instead of fame or riches, Solomon asked God for wisdom. And wow, did God deliver! Solomon became known as one of the wisest men to ever live, in spite of later mistakes he made. During his life, Solomon collected wise sayings, many of which are recorded in Proverbs. We’ll take a look at Proverbs 15:1; 3:5-6; and 17:17.
BOTTOM LINE: You can ask God for wisdom.
MEMORY VERSE: Letter E -- Even children are known by the way they act, whether their conduct is pure, and whether it is right. 
 Proverbs 20:11 NLT

​In week 2, we’ll take a look at David’s life, from his days in the fields as a shepherd to his reign as one of Israel’s best kings. We’ll focus on the Psalms that David helped to write and collect, including Psalm 1:1-4, along with Psalm 23:1-2; 8:1; and 18:2. In Psalm 1, we discover that wise people focus on and find joy in God’s laws. They soak up God’s Word like a tree rooted by the river draws up fresh water.

BOTTOM LINE: If you want to be wise, focus on God.

MEMORY VERSE: Letter D -- But they delight in the law of the Lord, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do. Psalm 1:2-3 NLT

Have a blessed week!
