My son, if you accept my words and
store up my commands within you…
then you will understand the fear of
the LORD and find the knowledge of God.
For the LORD gives wisdom, and
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
Proverbs 2:1, 5&6 (NIV)
February 8, 2004: “Proverb – Introduction” by Kimber Kauffman, Senior Pastor College Park Church. Today pastor delivered his first message on a series on Proverbs with an introductory overview. This book is considered wisdom literature, full of short, pithy sayings that explain truth in a very practical way. This book gives hands and feet to the Torah, or “Law”, of Genesis through Deuteronomy.
Here are some questions to guide your flock group in discussing the numerous applications that could be drawn from today’s message.
2. What has been the benefit of Proverbs in your life up until now? Any specific wisdom pieces that have helped you in your life on a steady basis?
As you conclude your discussion this evening, open your Bibles and read and discuss briefly Colossians 1:9-14, Ephesians 3:14-19, Philippians 1:9-11. Then spend some time in prayer with your Bibles open, and pray the prayers of Scripture for Wisdom for one another.
