Message: Way of the Wise – Part 1

Proverbs 1:1-7
The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel: for gaining wisdom and instruction; for understanding words of insight; for receiving instruction in prudent behavior, doing what is right and just and fair; for giving prudence to those who are simple, knowledge and discretion to the young— let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the discerning get guidance— for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings and riddles of the wise. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
We will be studying Proverbs for 9 weeks through the summer and would love for you to join us in reading one proverb a day. Our prayer is that through your reading you will gain more insight into God’s heart for you. Wisdom is worth pursuing daily, and the book of Proverbs is a great place to start.
1, Read Proverbs 1. From verses 1-7, how would you define wisdom?
2. How have you seen the four characters of Proverbs in your life? From our sermon notes, they are the simple, the fool, the mocker and the wise.
3. What practices can you implement to help you grow in wisdom every day?
