Today we continue our worship series “Uncommon Wisdom.”

Current cultural wisdom tells us that we should do whatever we can to get ahead—if we want it, we should figure out a way to get it.

But that is not the way God would have us act.

So in this series, we are looking at the seemingly uncommon wisdom of Proverbs, which shows us a God-centered, path to the good life.

Proverbs is a collection of 100s of short sayings that apply wisdom and fear of the Lord—awe and reverence towards God—to any topic you can imagine—friendship, marriage, generosity, work, money, forgiveness… the list goes on.

It’s a book for every person in every season of life.

Each week during this series, we are taking a look at one or two proverbs to see what morsel of God’s wisdom they have to share.

This week, our wisdom is: Better the poor person who lives with integrity than the rich one who distorts right and wrong.
