“A soft answer turneth away wrath.”
Translate it into 2026 teenager language.
Examples vary. Co-teacher gets to decide
A friend says:
“I pray, but I don't think God is listening.”
You get 60 seconds to respond using something we've learned this year.
“Not immediately seeing an answer doesn't mean God isn't listening. Job couldn't understand what God was doing either. Faith sometimes means continuing to trust Him while we're waiting.”
“The Psalms show people telling God exactly how they feel—even when they're scared, angry, lonely or wondering where He is.”
Job loses nearly everything.
Why doesn't he simply abandon God?
Acceptable answers along these lines:
-Job trusted God even when he didn't understand what was happening.
-His faith wasn't based only on receiving blessings.
-He maintained his integrity.
-Job knew that his Redeemer lived.
-He trusted that ultimately God understood things he did not.
Daily Double:
Teams get 45 seconds to list as many legitimate ways we worship Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ..

Ecclesiastes Boss Battle
Solomon had wealth, power, possessions and basically anything he wanted.
Why wasn't that enough to give life meaning?
Earthly things are temporary.
Pleasure, possessions, achievement and wealth can't by themselves give our lives lasting purpose. Our relationship with God and living according to His purposes give life meaning.
Has anything we've studied this year actually changed something about the way you think, believe, or act?
Anything sincere gets the points…
And importantly, “Not really yet” can actually be a valid answer.
