Introduction to Wisdom | Proverbs 1:1-7

This week we are starting a new series called The Wisdom of Proverbs: A Life Well Lived. Over the next several months we will be spending time in the wisdom books of the Bible, starting with Proverbs. Proverbs presents wisdom as an attribute of God, woven into the fabric of the world, that He wants to teach to His people. The book of Proverbs is primarily written from the perspective of a father instructing his son on how to be wise. The father wants his son to understand how God has designed life to work and encourage him to live in accordance with “that way.” We have the same prayer: that God would teach us His ways and we would learn how to walk in them. Listen in as we provide an introduction to wisdom and apply it to our lives. We will see that this book is a collection of sayings, many of them written by Solomon, in order to teach wisdom, which can be summarized as the fear of the LORD.
