The Book of Proverbs reads like a laundry list of “dos” and “don’ts”, or a catalog of “always” and “never” statements. Yet it’s far more than that – it's a heartfelt letter from a father to his son, crafted to guide him towards a wise and fulfilling life. Like a good parent, God desires us to live wisely and well, and so gives us the wisdom of Proverbs. These words were written down centuries ago, yet remain relevant for us, today. They share timeless, practical insights which resonate deeply with our modern experiences. What does true wisdom look like? How to manage anger, avoid regret, navigate disappointment, pursue what’s actually good? Over five weeks this spring, let’s get equipped with God's word, to live purposefully and practically, navigating the complexities of modern life with wisdom and love. What kind of world do we live in? And what does it take to live wisely and well in the world in which we live? These are the questions the book of Proverbs seeks to answer. Wisdom isn’t something that happens to us, it turns out. It’s something God cultivates in us, as we live in awe, respect, and yes - fear - of God. God is God, and we are not . Knowing this is the essence of true wisdom. Let’s delve into this truth, as we seek to understand God, and ourselves, rightly.
