This summer we begin Wise Ways, a series through Proverbs exploring how to live wisely in everyday life. From friendships and finances to decisions and desires, Proverbs gives us God's wisdom for real people with real problems.
In this opening message, Pastor B shares how wisdom shaped his early life through conversations with older mentors, and how Proverbs functions like that—offering Spirit-breathed, time-tested insight from those who’ve walked with God.
The foundation of wisdom is the fear of the Lord—not fear that drives us away, but awe that draws us near. Wisdom isn’t just about intelligence or clever quotes—it’s about living humbly under God’s rule.
Key truths from Proverbs 1:
Wisdom shapes who we become (v.2)
Wisdom directs how we live (v.3)
Wisdom is for everyone—young, old, inexperienced, or seasoned (vv.4–6)
You can borrow God’s wisdom, but without fearing Him, you’re still walking in folly.
Ultimately, all wisdom leads us to Jesus—the wisdom of God (1 Cor. 1:24). Proverbs helps us live well, but only Christ can help us live forever. The wisest decision you can make is to follow Him.
