As we actively keep the Word of God, it will actively keep us: leading us, guarding us, and speaking to us. If we allow it to show and correct our way, it can protect us from the sin of adultery and its terrible consequences.

This is a short description of what the sermon is about. It should be no longer than two or three sentences.

In this sermon, we are introduced to the “wicked man,” who is perverse, deceptive, and malicious. This pictures “that Wicked” man called the antichrist. In the end, his blasphemy will end in destruction for him and all of his followers. We are warned to avoid walking in his wickedness!

In this sermon, Solomon shares some wise financial counsel. Avoid being surety for a loan that you cannot afford - but be as generous as you can be. This passage also warns us of the dangers of laziness!

In light of the dangers of “the strange woman,” the Bible instructs husbands to be faithful to their wives and be satisfied within the marriage relationship. The Key: “Be a a real man and invest in a real relationship with one real woman!”

In this sermon, we receive a solemn warning to avoid the flattery and allure of “a strange woman.” The consequences of a relationship with her are destruction and disaster. Furthermore, she is a type or a picture of the “strange woman” of Revelation: MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT.

In this passage, Proverbs warns us not to roll with the wicked. Along with these warnings, God always gives you a way out of the temptation. The just must walk in the path of God’s way in God’s Word. We must guard our hearts, our lips, our eyes, and our feet from the ways of the wicked.

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!
