Welcome (1 minute)
Welcome, everyone! Today we will watch the Superbook adventure called “Isaac and Rebekah.” Have you ever needed wisdom to make an important choice? Someone in today’s story did, too! We will learn where that person went for wisdom—and where we can go, also! Now let’s begin the video and see what is happening with Chris, Joy and Gizmo!
Play Video 2: Chris and Joy’s Dilemma (2.5 minutes)
Chris and Joy's Dilemma
Chris is so eager to assemble his father’s new invention that he won’t follow directions—and that’s when things go wildly wrong!
SuperTruth and Discussion (2 minutes)
The SuperTruth for today is: “God will give me wisdom.” Let’s say that together. God will give me wisdom.”
What was the wise thing for Chris to do? Listen to his father’s wisdom and read the directions.
Did Joy agree with Chris ignoring his dad’s wisdom? No, she cautioned him and advised him to read the directions before he plunged ahead.
God will give us wisdom when we ask. Then we must follow His directions—not ignore them! God has created us, and He knows what is best for us in every situation!
Play Video 3: Bible Story and Resolution (19.5 minutes)
Bible Story and Resolution
Superbook takes Chris, Joy and Gizmo to ancient Hebron. There, Abraham tells his servant Eliezer how to find a wife for his son, Isaac. Eliezer travels to a faraway land and finds the right woman—Rebekah—through obedience and prayer. The children discover that following God’s plan is always best.

SuperVerse Discussion (1 minute)
Our SuperVerse today is Proverbs 3:6:
Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.
I would like you to say the SuperVerse a little differently. You can look at the screen as long as necessary. The girls will say the first word and the boys the second word. You will go back and forth like this to say the entire verse. Are you ready? Girls, begin!
Great. This time, the boys will begin!
Nicely done! Each day, we will face choices and decisions we must make. Some are easy, yet some are more difficult and important. God’s Spirit will speak to us and guide us when we ask for help!
Children will have more time to learn the SuperVerse in Small Group.
Prayer and Send-Off (1 minute)
Dear God, You have all wisdom. Your Word promises us in James 1:5 that when we ask for wisdom, You will not be angry and will give it to us generously! Help us seek Your will in all we do so we can take the right path. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
Do you remember when Chris was trying to pack his camel with supplies for their long journey? Well today in Small Group, you will be given an opportunity to see if you can do it faster with a game called “Pack the Camel.” Let’s go see what it’s all about.
Teachers take children to Small Group classes for Grades 1–3 and 4–6. If the combined group is small, all children may stay together for Small Group time.
