Using the Lesson Plan you created in the previous module/week as well as everything you have learned thus far in this course, you will
present your lesson. You must present at the legitimate teaching-learning location you submitted in Module/Week 2. This setting may be
formal or informal, large or small, etc.; as long as it meets the basic criteria: you are teaching, and someone is learning.
Once you have presented your lesson, you will write a 1�2-page synopsis of the �event� (who, what, where, when, how, and why descriptors)
and a 4�5-page critique of your effort. Be honest, analytical (state clearly what you did and how), evaluative (assess your effort),
reflective (think about what you have learned from this experience), and corrective (explain what you will do differently next time).
You must use currentTurabian formatting and include a cover page and table of contents.

The Book of Proverbs Hook
Everyone knows the value of good advice. Listening to those who are wiser than we are gives us the benefit of their hard won experience.
Growing up, getting along with our neighbors, stability in school or relationships, and holding a job all would be impossible without
guidance from folks like (parents, teachers, and caregivers) who have been there before. The prologue states the book�s purpose and them
(1:1-7): It is to give a course of instructions in wisdom, principles, preparation for life, and the ways of life in God�s world. �The fear
of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge� (1:7) set the record straight, so to speak. This is the foundation on which all others wise
sayings stand. It is the Book of Proverbs� central idea: Fear of the Lord motivates us to obey God�s commandments, principles and
instructions so obedience to them constitutes true wisdom.
The exegetical and pedagogical ideas consist of: Verses 2-6 explain the purpose of the Book of Proverbs. The verbs to know, to perceive,
and to receive refer to the ways we acquire wisdom. Wisdom refers to skill. Instruction could also be translated discipline; it refers to
the process of receiving knowledge and then applying to daily life. A person (adolescent and adult) develops discipline in life by
applying words of insight. Fear God and shun evil counsel. These words conclude the story and introduce a theme that the following
passages develop further: The study of wisdom is matter of life and death.
Book
The book of Proverbs is probably one for the most important book to Christians. The book is more than a collection of �tips and tricks.� It
passes on a core of knowledge and experience that God says we have if ware are to live the abundant life. These proverbs are not merely
old sayings in the past that concern people in the middle east, but universal principles that apply to all people of all times. Human
nature has not changed since Solomon�s time; neither has God�s nature. Only the landscape around us has changed. �What has been will be
again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun� Ecclesiastes 1:9 (NIV).
The chapter of interest today is Chapter 22 verse 6. However, it is important to note that in the first chapter of the book, Solomon sets
the pace for the next chapters. In chapter one of the book of Proverbs, it is evident that Solomon is writing words and quotes that he
overhead from someone. A deeper reading indicates that he was writing the words of advice that he received as he grew up. There are many
instances like these as one grows up. Many parents are always giving advice to their children as they grow up .
As Senior Pastor of Household of Faith Missionary Baptist Church 525 West 7th Street here in Stockton, California, last Wednesday on the
21st of April I had the opportunity to preaching and teaching a Creative Bible Study Lesson in our main auditorium that serves as a
starting place for our adults and adolescence. Both parents and children had the opportunity to grow with each other intimately while
learning valuable truths that start from God�s Word. This class�s smaller size (30-61 participants) allows you to get to know people of
(all age groups, ethnicity, and social stratification) and build lasting friendship centred on studying the Word of God together and
growing in grace.
Head
A proverb is self-contained unit that presents a capsule of truth about life, the world, and the way God operates in both heaven and on
earth. A proverb is memorable and transferable. It is important to keep in mind that most proverbs are generalizations, not promises or
predictions of the future. Simply put, they report what we observe to be true most of often, or what we can reasonable expect God to do,
if we do our part. In keeping with this, the verbs in most proverbs us a tense that depicts actions repeated regularly, indicating that
proverbs should be treated as guidelines throughout our spiritual journey.
Heart
At the heart of every good parenting principle lie Solomon�s words of Proverbs 22:6: �Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he
is old he will not depart from it.� The verb for train means �to dedicate,� and the word way generally refers to living correctly in God�s
sight. In essence, Solomon was advising parents to set their child aside for special use, to dedicate him or her to the Lord and His path.
The verb train includes the idea of stimulating the child to good � through words of guidance, discipline, and encouragement on the right
path.
Hands
�Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of correction will drive it far from him� Proverbs 22:15 (NKJV). Many believe or
have taken the line out of context, that corporal punish is always the solution to the problem. Although Proverbs does not hold out much
hope for separating an adult fool from his or her foolishness, the rod of correction is identified as a remedy for children (22:15; 26:11;
27:22). Hence, the need for parental discipline (literally with hands, head and heart) and guidance.
Assignment
The Bible and the Quran have both heavily alluded to the great wisdom that King Solomon possessed. The book of Proverbs in the Bible is
one place where the reader gets to interact with Solomon�s wit. The consistent daily reading of the Proverbs is a rich source of wisdom,
prayer and power. The following guide will enable you to systematically read these Books, in their entirety, on a monthly basis. �Just
Remember: The Date + 30!� There are 31 chapters in Proverbs. These 31 chapters can be read on a monthly basis when you read one chapter per
day. (31 calendar days per month x 1 chapter of Proverbs per day) To do this, read the chapter of Proverbs that corresponds to the
calendar date. Here is how to read them on a systematic basis: If today�s date is the 5th, read chapter 5 of Proverbs. �Just Remember:
Today�s Date = Today�s Chapter of Proverbs!� Note: You will be able to read the entire Book of Proverbs in the months with 31 days
(January, March, May, July, August, October and December). On the months that have less than 31 days (February, April, June, September and
November), do not try to read the remaining Proverbs; unless, of course, you would like to! If you are unable to read the Psalms or
Proverbs on any given day, for whatever reason, just continue with the corresponding date and reading when you can!
Interactive Questions
1. Question: As you grew up, who was the person that was always giving you advice? (Await answers form the class)
2. Question: Do you have any real life examples of scenarios whereby the advice came in handy? (A few persons should answer).
3. Question: What is the difference between knowledge and wisdom? (Two members of the class should answer).
4. Question: Do you ever pray to God for wisdom? (All members have to answer this with a �yes� and �No�)
Look
The introduction of chapter 2 (the value of wisdom) understandably sets the pace for the rest of the book. Therefore, this chapter sets
out the chapter with which the perspective of the book as a dissemination of the advice that Solomon received from his (parents, God, and
life experiences) is well set up . The story of Solomon is one of a young man born into a kingship . He was, right from birth, meant to be
the king of Israel. Therefore, he had the best people around him advising him. Solomon learnt lot as he grew up and he got the chance to
become a king at the age of 24. God offered to grant the young Solomon, now the King of Israel a wish and he asked the Lord to give him
wisdom so he could rule Israel. The first thing we realize form this verse is that Solomon learnt about God right from the start at an
early age. He has therefore taken that teaching about God and integrated it in his speech. He writes, �hide my commandments�, a thing that
is more understandably supposed to be from God and not from man.
Took
Solomon further goes on and relates the human need for God and for knowledge and wisdom. This belief that God is the custodian of wisdom
was one of those most important things that he ever learnt from his mother. The realization that only God can grant him the true wisdom is
what made him to ask God for wisdom as he set out as the King of Israel. It is right to say that this Chapter captures the greatest
childhood lesson of King Solomon. He shows a lot of passion when he quotes someone begging God for knowledge. He state that if one cries
for knowledge, then knowledge will most definitely come to such a person (Proverbs 2:3). In the following verses, he seems to remember
that his mother beseeched him to call out to God for knowledge. Another very vital memory that served Solomon for all his life comes in
two verses later. The advice was that if he has fear and respect for God, then that would kick start his quest for knowledge (Proverbs
2:5).
Interactive Questions
1. Why does Solomon�s mother insist on him living a Godly life?
2. By reading Romans 10:10, what does it mention about the heart that is relatable to this chapter?
3. Who is the giver of wisdom and which line in this chapter points out that in Proverbs?
Conclusion
It to be a guarantee that proper parenting will always result in a child�s salvation and proper conduct throughout life. Proverbs, however,
present a general principle, not promises. Whether their child learns to follow the Lord will, in part, depend on his or her own free-will
(choices). But lessons driven home at the crucial stages of childhood, adolescence, and teens will not go away. God promises to enable
parents for their task, not make decisions for the child. Each generation is responsible for its own relationship to God. But even without
a promise, this proverb remains wise advice and counsel for every parent. Dedicating a child to God�s ways is the best course to set a plan
of success for their life. Lessons learned in childhood will last a lifetime.
