Wisdom Week 2

Connecting with one another:

  • Who are some writers or speakers you find inspiring? Why?
  • Do you have a favourite saying that has to do with Wisdom? What is it? 

Growing with God’s Word:

  • Read Proverbs 2: 1-7. Use this wonderful instruction to guide your thoughts as you prepare for your study this week. 
  • Read Proverbs 1:7 and Proverbs 9:10. What do these verses say about respecting God? 

Explore further:

Read James 3: 13-18

  • What do you think the word “discernment” means? 
  • There is a pattern in James where he lists examples of worldly wisdom (verse 13-14) and follows later with the comparison of what Godly wisdom is (verse 17). Make a list of the comparisons that you can identify in the other verses.

Read Galatians 5: 23 

  • God works in your life through the Holy Spirit. What does Godly Wisdom produce in you? 
  • Read James 3:18 again. What does this verse mean? (see also Matthew 5:9) 

Read Ephesians 6:10-12

  • What is this reading telling you about the reality of spiritual warfare, and your involvement in it? 

Focus for the week ahead:

  • Where do you have an opportunity to “make peace” in your family? In your community?
  • What might this phrase mean for you: Don’t be afraid – be discerning. 

Have a blessed week, 

Tim.
