Proverbs for Teens: A 13-Week Bible Study on Wisdom for Real Life

Wisdom for the choices teens face every day

Teenagers are surrounded by advice—from friends, social media, school, entertainment, and culture. But how can they recognize what is truly wise?

Proverbs for Teens is a practical 13-week Bible study designed to help middle and high school students discover God’s wisdom and apply it to real life. Instead of offering shallow advice or easy church answers, this study leads teens into Scripture and helps them think biblically about the decisions shaping who they are becoming.

Students will explore what Proverbs teaches about:

• Choosing friends wisely
• Trusting God instead of themselves
• Guarding their hearts
• Purity and temptation
• The power of words
• Pride and humility
• Diligence and laziness
• Money and integrity
• Anger and self-control
• Justice and mercy
• Planning and God’s will
• Living a life rooted in the fear of the Lord

Each of the 13 studies includes

• A focused passage from Proverbs
• A memorable key verse and Big Idea
• Read the Word observation prompts
• Discussion and reflection questions
• Clear theological teaching
• A connection to Christ and the gospel
• Personal application and prayer prompts
• Church and community connections
• A practical weekly challenge
