Willingdon Church Sermons|“Wisdom 101” Episode
Everyone has a vague idea about what wisdom is, where it can be found and why we need it, but is amazing how often the pursuit of wisdom is neglected. The Book of Proverbs invites everyone – young, old, simple and learned – to pursue wisdom. The opening verses of Proverbs promise tremendous benefits to those who will take hold of wisdom, and makes it clear that the very wisdom of God is available to all who will admit their need for it.
Definition: Wisdom is the skill to navigate life well.
Wisdom is never merely intellectual, but always practical
Wisdom doesn’t come naturally or with age, but it is accessible for everyone
Wisdom is not something we can master because it is only available to those who are teachable
Wisdom is not static, but always directly proportional to our relationship with God
