Week 1 (March 1): START WITH GOD

Wisdom Begins with the Fear of the Lord

Everything in life has a starting point—and Proverbs is clear about where wisdom begins. Before decisions, habits, or outcomes are addressed, Proverbs confronts posture. Wisdom is not primarily about knowing the right answers; it is about rightly fearing the Lord. When God is first, life finds order. When He is not, even good intentions eventually unravel.

This message sets the foundation for the entire series by calling us back to reverence, humility, and alignment with God’s design. Nothing else in Proverbs works until this is settled.
