Podcasts about beginning of wisdom

Matt Morgan

Rev. Tim Udouj

In this message, we'll explore the purpose of the book of Proverbs, and in doing so, discern the starting point for how to rightly apply God's wisdom in our lives.   Scripture: Proverbs 1:1-7

In a world that moves fast and values quick fixes, Proverbs offers timeless wisdom for everyday life. These short, powerful sayings aren't just catchy—they're God's guidance for wise living. From relationships to decisions, money to character, Proverbs gives us truths that stick. Like a hit song that plays on repeat, these verses shape how we live, work, and love. This summer, we'll explore how ancient wisdom continues to resonate today and why trusting God's way leads to a life that endures.

God is the source of all wisdom and knowledge, so we must approach Him with reverence if we want to live wisely.

Proverbs - Jacob Halle

Wisdom--we all want it. But, do we really know what we are asking for? God's Word defines wisdom and it may not be what you would expect. Grow wiser with our workshop of Psalm 111!

No matter how wise you might think you are, you'll never have all the answers for why things take place the way they do.Solomon was a wise man who believed in God, but he was perplexed with doubt and uncertainty. The problem was he only saw things through the lens of his human limitations and understandings, and he mostly was observing the ways of the world, the fallen world.He's not able to connect the dots with the character of God and with the truths of God. We've probably had those moments ourselves. And so he jumps right in and asks, who is a wise man and who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.True wisdom, a true encounter with the wisdom of God and the God of wisdom, lights up our faces. There's a glow that we have when we draw near to the Lord. Fear God. That's the beginning of wisdom. It's the beginning of knowledge. Fearing God is what keeps our hearts and our consciences clean and clear. The beggar who fears God is a prince, while the rich man who does not fear God is living in perpetual pain and suffering, in hell forever and ever.Rather than trying to use our finite minds to comprehend the infinite nature of God, we need to turn from those vain imaginations, those dark ways of seeing things to the truth of God.

Wisdom - we all want it. But, do we really know what we're asking for and how to get it? Join us for a workshop for Psalm 111, as we unpack the beginning of wisdom!

Sunday morning sermon audio from Preston Highlands Baptist Church.

In Mark chapter 4, Jesus' teaching ministry transitioned to open proclamation of the gospel (Mark 1:15) to teaching in parables (4:33–34). In vv. 21–34, we see Jesus' method and manner of teaching about the Kingdom of God to the general masses and we see His intentional explanations to those who came to Him with soft teachable hearts.

Jesus begins to teach in enigmatic parables to the crowds. The Parable in Mark 4:1–20 describes how so many crowds of people can hear the message of the gospel and receive such varied responses from the masses.

As we enter 2025, we hurry with the Wise Men to worship Jesus. Jesus himself walks beside the Sea of Galilee and calls us to follow him with a lively faith. But how? What does such a lively faith look like? Solomon has something to say about that. He calls us it “the Way of the Wise.” In this four week series, we'll begin to learn to walk the way of the wise. Today, we learn from Solomon that the beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord. Proverbs 1:1-7

Can you remember a time when your parents sat you down at the table with the words, "We need to have a chat."? This week we commence a short 'holiday series' through the first three chapters of Proverbs which read a little like one of those conversations. The book teaches practical wisdom for living in a world which does not always present us with clear, black and white options. Warning us of the various seductive voices which seek to woo and entice us down foolish paths, Proverbs directs us, young and old to the voice of wisdom - wisdom which begins with the fear of the Lord. Ultimately, it leads us to Christ himself who "became to us wisdom from God."Only fools shun this teaching. So let's be wise and pray that the Lord might help us grow in wisdom.

The book of Proverbs, attributed to Solomon, emphasizes that true wisdom begins with a reverent acknowledgment of God, as stated in Proverbs 1:7. This perspective counters societal views that prioritize personal achievement. It encourages humility, reflection, and the pursuit of God's guidance in decision-making, fostering deeper understanding and growth in life. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dailyrowe/support

Wisdom, Understanding & Discretion Bring Life, If We Don't Listen To The Words Of The Spirit Of Jesus & Obey, Death Will Be The Payment.

I don't often respond to current events. I work so slowly that by the time I have a response, the event is no longer current and has been forgotten. Nevertheless, my concern in this episode is one that continues to be raised, and so the time feels right to address it once again. If you […]

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.”~Miles Kington (1941-2008), British journalist, musician, and broadcaster “The wise person doesn't give the right answers, but poses the right questions.”~Claude Lévi-Strauss (1908-2009), French anthropologist “The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.”~Socrates (c. 470-399 BC), famed Athenian philosopher “The endless cycle of idea and action,Endless invention, endless experiment,Brings knowledge of motion, but not of stillness;Knowledge of speech, but not of silence;Knowledge of words, and ignorance of the Word.All our knowledge brings us nearer to our ignorance,All our ignorance brings us nearer to death,But nearness to death no nearer to GOD.Where is the Life we have lost in living?Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?The cycles of Heaven in twenty centuriesBring us farther from GOD and nearer to the Dust.”~T. S. Eliot (1888-1965), The Rock (1934) “If you are filled with pride, then you will have no room for wisdom.”~African Proverb “A humble knowledge of myself is a surer way to God than a search after learning."~Thomas à Kempis (c. 1380-1471), German-Dutch priest “There comes a moment when people who have been dabbling in religion (‘Man's search for God'!) suddenly draw back. Supposing we really found Him? We never meant it to come to that! Worse still, supposing He had found us?”~C.S.
