2/23/25 - Two Voices, Two Houses, One Choice - Proverbs 9 - Pastor Jason Fritz


Listen Later

This Sunday, we will explore Proverbs 9, a chapter that vividly portrays the crossroads of life we all face. As I studied this text, I was struck anew by the richness of its imagery. Proverbs 9 presents two contrasting invitations: one from Lady Wisdom, who offers a feast of life-giving truth, and the other from Lady Folly, who lures with empty promises that lead to destruction. Both are calling out, but their outcomes could not be more different. This passage reminds us that life is a series of decisions, each one drawing us closer to either wisdom or folly. Whose invitation will we accept? We will consider the nature of wisdom’s call—patient, generous, and built on a foundation of reverence for God. Wisdom doesn’t demand perfection but invites teachability. It prepares a place for those humble enough to recognize their need. On the other hand, folly’s appeal is loud, seductive, and fleeting, preying on our innate tendency to choose what is easy over what is right. Proverbs challenges us to see beyond the surface of our decisions and recognize their eternal significance. It’s not just about choosing well - it’s about living well under the guidance and grace of God. As we gather, my prayer is that this message equips you to discern the voices calling out to you. The gospel of Jesus Christ makes wisdom’s way not only possible but also joyous. He is the embodiment of God’s wisdom and the ultimate banquet of life. Let’s come ready to ask ourselves: Whose house am I dwelling in? And where is God leading me next? May His Spirit guide us as we seek to walk in the way of insight.
