The Bible 20/20 - Week 22: "Wisdom Calls"

This week we discuss the book of Proverbs, and the wisdom God offers us. Now more than ever we need the wisdom to live well, love others, experience hope, and discover real solutions for a world in need. Jesus is the ultimate source of wisdom that changes lives and helps us navigate even the most difficult circumstances in this life. Let’s embrace wisdom as a life long journey of growth and discovery, and may we receive the Spirit of wisdom from our God who offers it willing! Discussion Questions: 1. Why does wisdom begin with the fear of the Lord? What does that phrase mean, and how can we live that out? 2. Why does receiving wisdom from God require action on our part? What steps do we take to receive wisdom from God? What can we learn from Jesus’ example? 3. How did Jesus approach dialog with others? What are some keys to listening and learning from others? Why are empathy and love such an important part of hearing other people’s experiences and perspectives? 4. Why is it important to position ourselves to receive wisdom from God, before pursuing wisdom from men? How does discernment help us to listen and learn from others while challenging other’s perspectives as well as our own? 5. What is the most challenging thing for you from this message? What might God be asking you to shift or change right now in your pursuit of wisdom?
