In our dealings with others, we ought to pay what we owe and be benevolent when we can! But when the opportunity to do evil arises, we must choose good even if we could get away with wrongdoing! The LORD is pleased with wisdom and justice, but wickedness will receive its recompense.

True Biblical happiness is found in seeking and retaining Wisdom, whose value is greater than any earthly riches. “She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.” The Creation of the Universe bears witness to God’s Wisdom and the manifold blessings it brings.

In this sermon, we see the danger of presumptuous sin and take a look at a couple examples of its disastrous consequences. If we despise or ignore the chastening of the LORD, we will reap the consequences. We also look at the principle of honouring the LORD in our finances through giving.

In this passage of Proverbs, Solomon continues to lay out the wisdom of following the Lord according to his Word. We find eight Biblical responsibilities for the Believer which result in six blessings in our walk with Christ.

The promise of this passage is that If we will receive God’s wisdom, then it will protect us from the evil man and the strange woman. We must walk with God else wicked temptations lead us astray!

Wisdom offers a hypothesis: 1. IF we RECEIVE God’s Word earnestly in prayer, 2. THEN we will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God 3. BECAUSE He is a giver of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding!

The cry of Wisdom warns us to heed God’s Word. If we will not turn at its reproofs, we will reap the wickedness that we sow. And for the unrepentant Lost, the wages of sin is eternal death.

In this passage, we find two key principles for living a godly life. First, Solomon pleads with his son to heed the instruction of his father and his mother. Second, he warns him to avoid the influence of the wrong company. Ungodly companionship leads to disaster!

In this sermon, we continue our introduction to Proverbs with the key to wisdom: the Fear of the LORD: “We must see him for who he is, giving him the respect and worship that is due Him through our submission to His Word.”

In this sermon, we are introduced to Proverbs, the Bible’s book of wisdom, and its author, king Solomon. As we study this book, we are seeking to know God’s Word, understand it, and wisely apply it to our lives!
