Wisdom on SermonAudio

Absalom's rebellion is put down and we immediately turn to the rebellion of Sheba, one of three different "Sheba's" referenced in Scripture.

Proverbs 21 teaches that every leader, circumstance, and outcome remains under the sovereign authority of God. Although people may believe their actions are right, the Lord weighs the heart and calls His people to righteousness, justice, humility, generosity, and trust. In this episode, Dave Jenkins explains why righteousness is more acceptable to God than outward religious activity, how pride and selfishness lead to destruction, why God's justice is certain, and why true security cannot be found in human wisdom, preparation, or strength. We may prepare the horse for battle, but victory belongs to the Lord. Because God rules over all things, Christians can walk faithfully, pursue what is right, and rest confidently in His sovereign purposes.

The sermon argues that a correct theological understanding of God is the essential foundation for Christian living and personal growth. It contrasts superficial application with deep, experiential knowledge, emphasizing that false views of God lead to spiritual distortion while true grace reveals one's identity as a child of God. The speaker critiques various religious and secular worldviews that distort God's character, advocating instead for a balanced view of divine love and authority. This proper perspective provides the security and direction necessary for believers to navigate life's challenges with wisdom and revelation. Ultimately, knowing God authentically transforms how individuals relate to Him and understand their own worth in Christ.

The sermon defines prayer as intimate communion with God, emphasizing that believers are speaking to a personal Father rather than navigating an automated system. It highlights the Lord's Prayer as a model that prioritizes God's will and character before personal needs, teaching that requests should be made with humility and trust in divine mercy. The preacher argues that effective prayer is characterized by sincerity and heartfelt earnestness rather than eloquence or length. Using biblical examples like Jehoshaphat and David, the text illustrates that pouring out one's heart to God leads to peace even when answers differ from expectations. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to approach God boldly with their true desires, submitting fully to His wisdom and will.

Back to School, Back to the Book: Learning and Instruction for Life and Godliness August has a rhythm to it. Backpacks are dusted off, school supply lists get pulled from the fridge, and classrooms across the country fill again with students ready — or not so ready — to learn. It's a season that turns our minds naturally toward education, instruction, and the shaping of young minds. But long before the first school bell of the year rings, the wisest man who ever lived was already wrestling with the pursuit of knowledge. In Ecclesiastes, Solomon reflects that "of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh" (Ecclesiastes 12:12). Solomon had access to the finest wisdom, wealth, and learning of his day — and still found that human knowledge alone, apart from God, leaves the soul unsatisfied. There is one education, however, that never wearies the soul because it leads to life. Paul charges young Timothy: "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15). This is the curriculum that matters most — not merely gathering information, but rightly handling God's Word so that our lives are shaped by it. This kind of learning doesn't begin in a classroom; it begins in the home. Proverbs 22:6 reminds us, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Parents are a child's first teachers — the first voice shaping what is right and wrong, true and false. We see this modeled perfectly in the life of Christ Himself, who "increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man" (Luke 2:52) — growing under instruction,

Proverbs 20 teaches that biblical wisdom is revealed through integrity, self-control, honesty, justice, and consistent godly character. In this episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, Dave Jenkins explains why wisdom must shape both our private character and public conduct. Proverbs 20 warns against drunkenness, dishonest business practices, slander, rash commitments, personal vengeance, and other expressions of foolishness. This chapter also reminds us that the Lord directs our steps, searches the deepest parts of our hearts, and judges with perfect righteousness. Because God sees and governs every part of our lives, His people are called to walk honestly, exercise self-control, trust Him with justice, and pursue enduring faithfulness. Jesus Christ perfectly demonstrated the integrity, justice, mercy, righteousness, and self-control that we lack. Through faith in Him, our sins are forgiven, our hearts are transformed, and we are empowered by grace to walk in wisdom.

Wise reproof is a wonderful thing. But a foolish reprover is of no use, as Job describes his friends and as this preacher describes in his own life. Also Reference: Job 16:1-3 https://bbfohio.com
