2. Work (Fruitfulness; Prov. 31:31)

Wisdom and Home

1. Home is where Wisdom is Made and Matures

2. God created the world as a home in which we would live wisely for and with him…but sin has corrupted life in this home and broken the connection between Heaven and Earth

3. A Future, Perfect Home Awaits when God reconciles Heaven and Earth

4. In the meantime, we live in our homes and in our churches in such a way that others can see God’s Glory and Love

Response

-Have I accepted the life God gives through Jesus Christ?

-Am I experiencing this life fully according to God’s Wisdom, while I look ahead to the time God will make all things right?

-What keeps me from experiencing the wise, full life God intends?
