The Nature of Wisdom | Proverbs 1:1-7
Aaron Gray | July 14, 2019
Sermon Description
The book of Proverbs is a unique collection of pithy sayings, speeches, and poems. Its purpose is to help God’s people not just have heads full of information, but to be equipped for wisely navigating the many challenges of life.
Discussion Questions
Do you have any favorite proverbs? Why are they meaningful to you? How can we help one another think about them as truth, not necessarily as “promises”?
Why is it so important to understand that wisdom is more than just “following the rules?” How does this mindset encourage trust in God and relationship?
If Jesus is the wisdom of God, how is the gospel at the foundation of all true wisdom? What are some ways that the wisdom of the gospel differs from worldly wisdom?
How does wise living help us live on mission with Jesus in the world?
Prayer Points
Pray that God would use our time in the Proverbs to grow us in wisdom, understanding, and insight. And pray that God would grow us in wise living.
Pray that God would give us wisdom in sharing the gospel with a world that values a completely different approach to wisdom, knowledge, and living.
