Book Smarts

Truth Taught:

God’s wisdom far surpasses human knowledge.

Materials:

Stack of books, tape measure, Bible (optional)

Instructions

  1. Ask for a volunteer to hold out their arms straight. Begin placing books on their arms, asking if they think smart people know everything in the books.
  2. Continue adding books until the volunteer tires or drops them. Measure the height of the stack.
  3. Ask: How much do you think you know? How about God—how much would his book of knowledge be? (Infinitely thick!)
  4. If time allows, read 1 Corinthians 1:25 and Isaiah 40:28, explaining that God’s wisdom far exceeds ours.
