Sermon Discussion Questions
1) What is the purpose of Proverbs?
2) What do these verses tell us about wisdom? How is it described?
3) Bulletin quote: "Wisdom is for the humbly eager--one might almost say, for the lover, the suitor...It is not for the man wise in his own eyes: He thinks he has arrived--and indeed he has, for he will never get a step further. His trouble is not intellectual...It is that he does not seriously want to be a better person; whereas the wise man is teachable to the end, open to God's commands, and chastening, and to human advice and criticism; for he values truth enough to pay the price of having it." (Derek Kidner) What is encouraging/difficult about this quote?
4) Read over Proverbs 1:7, 3:7, 4:5-7, 9:10, 11:2, 16:16. What do these verses say about wisdom? What do they say about the fear of the Lord?
Reflection: Do we live our lives as if God has wisdom for us? or that we believe He knows better than we do about our lives? How can we grow in this area?
