We have seen how important wisdom is, but it raises a question: how do  we get it? How can we become wise?   In this short passage, we get the answer. We’ll see the requirements for  attaining wisdom (seeking, understanding and internalising God’s Word),  as well as the results of obtaining it (ethical protection).

In this episode Scott and guest speaker Josie work through the emotion,  which many suffer from, to varying degrees, known as anxiety.  What it is, how it works, how it shows itself, how the Bible helps us to  understand and process this emotion.  If you're enjoying The Word at Work content, then join our online  community and subscribe to the channel.

In episode 3 of our series, as we continue to explore wisdom,  we meet  Lady Wisdom one of the key characters in the book of Proverbs. Lady  Wisdom speaks up, and exhorts us to embrace her words.   The stakes couldn’t be higher - and we are left with a key question:  will we accept her teaching?

This, the first of the father’s lectures, introduces us to some of the crucial distinctions between wisdom and folly. Wisdom comes to us in the form of teaching and instruction, and so it may not look particularly appealing. However, it yields a harvest of social honour and moral beauty. Fooly, contrastingly, looks enticing but in the end yields destruction. This is the boomerang effect of folly: when we act foolishly, in the end we hurt ourselves. Fools lie in wait for their own blood.

Welcome to episode 1 of our series on the emotions. In this first  episode Gareth sits down with Scott Tubman, the host of this new series,  to talk about emotions. What they are, where they come from and how  they are expressed. Our emotions episodes will come out weekly on  Wednesdays.  We hope that this series is going to be a real encouragement to all who  watch and engage with it. For suggestions on future episodes and  emotions, please pop them into the comments.  The Word at Work exists to help all people come to know, love and grow  in their walk with God.

This passage tells us what Proverbs will do for us - it will give us wisdom. We see here what wisdom consists of (discretion, righteousness, insight, etc), who it is for (both the young and simple as well as the wise and mature) and how to get it (fear the Lord!).

It's the final episode in our series. A big thank you to Murray Anderson  from St. Peters church in Fish Hoek for this series in Matthew 8-10.  In the extended section of teaching in Matthew 10 Jesus has one eye on  the immediate mission he’s sending the disciples on, but another eye on  preparing them for what they will face, further in the future, when he’s  gone. There are some key principles and warnings that apply to any  disciple in any era - the key thing to be prepared for, is the fact that  preaching about Jesus will lead to division!

In this episode, Murray consider the compassion of the King.   Before Jesus sends his disciples out on mission we get some insight into  some of the core values that are to shape that mission: clarity about  the Kingdom (and our role in preahcing it); gut-wrenching compassion for  the lost and dependence on our Heavenly Father.
