We are always being shaped by the voices we listen to. Proverbs 1:8–19 helps us learn how to discern between the voice of wisdom that leads to life and the voice of folly that entices and destroys. This sermon examines how God uses authority to form us in wisdom, how sin speaks persuasively while concealing its end, and how Jesus Christ—the wisdom of God—rescues sinners who have already listened to folly.
