God has Limitless Wisdom.

The world is looking for a lot of things. The world looks for peace, cleaner air & water, stronger economies, innovation, success, power, a better life… on and on the list of what the world seeks is long.

But is the world seeking wisdom? Perhaps wisdom is not very high on the list of things the world is seeking.

The world seeks INFORMATION, but WISDOM is much more than information. Our culture knows how to get information better than any previous generation, but wisdom is more than info. Wisdom is UNDERSTANDING.

God has limitless wisdom. Stop asking google, siri, or alexa for information. Ask God for wisdom.

­Limitless 3: Limitless Wisdom

Sermon notes by Pastor Chris Fluitt

Redemption Church Plano Tx

Vid bumper- Limitless

 

My name is Chris Fluitt and I want to welcome you to Redemption Church. Hello to our online audience and also those in the room. I am glad to be preaching to you today.

We are in the 3rd week of our LIMITLESS sermon series.

Limitless

We talked about Limitless Power in week 1. Last week we talked about Limitless Love.

Today I want to encourage you find Limitless Wisdom.

Limitless Wisdom

The world is looking for a lot of things. The world looks for peace, cleaner air & water, stronger economies, innovation, success, power, a better life… on and on the list of what the world seeks is long.

But is the world truly seeking wisdom? I feel like wisdom is not very high on the list of things the world is seeking.

Now the world seeks information, but wisdom is much more than information.

ALEXA

Our society knows how to get information.

* “Alexa… who was Major League Baseball’s  American League MVP in 2001.”

* “Alexa what is the forecast for today?”

* “Alexa what does proverbs 3:13 say?”

* “Alexa tell me a joke.”

 

Our society knows how to get information.

Our culture knows how to get information better than any previous generation, but wisdom is so much more than information.  Wisdom is about understanding.

* “Alexa how can I be a great baseball player?”

* “Alexa what should I wear today to impress my boss?”

* “Alexa how should I prioritize my problems to achieve more success this year?”

* “Alexa how can I stop being lonely and start having meaningful relationships?”

 

She knows plenty of info, but has no wisdom or understanding to share.

This is why we see smart people make unwise decisions. They know info but they lack understanding.

This is why Washington DC is such an unwise place. They have a lot of data, but they are unwise in what to do with that data.

This is why you should turn off the news sometimes. They have lots of information but no wisdom to share.

 

If only we had a place we could turn to for wisdom…
