Story summary

In this Bible lesson, Greybobby and Betty go on a virtual adventure alongside famed explorer Louisiana Clark to find and recover “The Precious Jewel,” a treasure more valuable than gold. Along the way they learn from Proverbs 20:15 that wisdom and knowledge are the true treasures they seek.

Proverbs 20:15

There is gold and abundance of costly stones,
but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

What did We Learn?

True treasure isn’t gold or jewels—it’s wisdom and knowledge.
Proverbs 20:15 tells us that “the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.” That means knowing what is right and sharing wisdom from God is more valuable than anything money can buy.
Jesus is the greatest treasure of all, and He gives us wisdom through the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit helps us make good choices, learn from our mistakes, and see what really matters.
Just like Greybobby and Betty needed help on their journey, we need Jesus to guide us every day. When we trust Him, He helps us grow wise and strong in our hearts.

Let's Pray

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for being our true treasure—more valuable than gold or jewels. Just like Greybobby and Betty had to trust their guide, help us to trust Jesus and follow Your wisdom in every adventure of life. Let the Holy Spirit lead us away from temptation and toward truth, so we don’t chase after the wrong things.
Give us courage to stand for what is right and hearts that seek after You above all else.
In Jesus’ Name we pray,
Amen.
