Fools, Friends, and Faith: Proverbs for Teens
A Series of Sunday School Lessons for Teachers of Teens

What if your Sunday School class could go beyond simply filling time and actually shape the hearts of teenagers for life? The book of Proverbs is God’s textbook on wisdom, filled with vivid character portraits that speak directly to the challenges young people face. Fools, Friends, and Faith: Proverbs for Teens equips teachers with ready-to-use lessons that apply Proverbs’ timeless truths to today’s teen struggles — peer pressure, choices, purity, diligence, pride, and the fear of the Lord.

This resource is written specifically for teachers of teens. It combines spiritual depth, practical application, and classroom engagement so you can lead with confidence. Whether you are a seasoned teacher or just beginning, this book provides the tools you need to prepare, teach, and inspire.

Inside you’ll find:

15 Complete Weekly Lesson Packets — Each week includes a full 70-minute plan with opening activities, a substantial 30-minute teaching outline, guided discussion questions, interactive games, and a wrap-up challenge. Nothing is left to guesswork; you have a roadmap from start to finish.

Teacher’s Devotions (Mon–Fri) — Five short devotionals for every lesson to prepare your own heart before teaching. Each devotion includes a thoughtful reflection on the week’s Scripture passage, helping you internalize its truth before leading your class.

Character Studies from Proverbs — Students will meet the Wise Man, the Fool, the Simple, the Prudent, the Righteous, the Wicked, the Scorner, the Sluggard, the Virtuous Woman, and more. Each lesson highlights a biblical character type, contrasts wisdom and folly, and shows how choices shape destiny.

Interactive Teaching Tools — Icebreakers, object lessons, and games are built into every lesson to capture teen attention and drive home the truth. From obstacle courses that picture temptation to charades that illustrate responses to correction, these hands-on activities make Proverbs come alive.

Practical Teen Applications — Every teaching outline connects ancient wisdom to modern life. Lessons address the pressures of friends, the lure of shortcuts, the danger of gossip, the call to purity, the blessing of diligence, and the importance of reverencing God. Teens will see that Proverbs is not dusty wisdom for the past, but living truth for today.

Designed for Teachers of Teens — Written in a teacher’s voice, this book doesn’t assume years of training or professional resources. The format is simple, reproducible, and adaptable. Whether your class is large or small, you’ll find this book easy to use and rich in content.

Why Proverbs?
The teenage years are crossroads years. Choices made now — about friends, habits, purity, work, and faith — set the trajectory of a lifetime. Proverbs speaks with clarity: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 1:7). Teens need more than entertainment; they need wisdom. This book equips you to bring them face to face with God’s truth in ways they can understand and apply.

If you want your Sunday School class to be more than just another Sunday morning — if you want to equip teens to make wise choices, resist foolishness, and walk in faith — this book is for you.
