Pastor Steve speaks on Proverbs chapter 8 where wisdom is personified as woman that is calling us to follow her. In verses 22-23 we hear how God created wisdom before the creation of the world and it was present at the creation. But what is "wisdom" and do we seek it today? How is wisdom different from education? Who is someone you would call "wise"?

Pastor Steve begins a five-week series on books of Wisdom in Old Testament: Proverb, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon.We begin with a reading from Proverbs chapters 1 and 3. What does it mean that Wisdom is seen as image for God and that we called to trust God above everything? Our currency has on it "In God we Trust" but what woudl our lives look like if we really did that?
