Sermon Notes

Skills for Living(Proverbs 1:2-7)

People know how to make a living but don’t know how to make a life, which is a shame for it is better to make

a good life than a good living. (D. Davidson)

So How does one Attain Wisdom? vs. 1:2• People with wisdom have the skill to face life

honestly and courageously and manage it suc-cessfullysothatGod’spurposesarefulfilledintheir life.

• Instruction is ordering life according to divine principles so that we can live skilfully.

What’s the first step to imparting wisdom to men? vs. 3• Nomatterhowenrichedoneiswithscienceand

philosophy, he is a fool if he does not practice righteousness, justice, and what is fair.

Who will find help in the proverbs? vs. 5-6We can learn in the storm or we can learn in the sanc-tuary. We can learn in the crisis or we can learn in the

classroom. Jon Courson

• The best way to make room for wisdom is to get rid of know-it-all pride.

Some things you should know about PERSONAL GROWTH.

1. Growthisn’tautomatic.2.Growthtodaybringssuccesstomorrow.3.Growthisyourresponsibility.

Wisdom Begins In The Fear of the Lord.• “Fear”isrespectforlegitimateauthority.• Fools are those who despise wisdom’s instruc-

tion, are morally bankrupt, fleshly, and practi-cally ignore of the greatest truths in the universe.

• Educationmaymakeyousmart,butonlyGodmakes you good.

• In this age of information, knowledge is plentiful, but wisdom is scarce.

If we are to gleam the wisdom of Proverbs we must bow in awe and scarce for God’s authority and re-spond to Him in faith and obedience. W.M Bryan.
