Podcasts about godly wisdom

Wisdom isn't about what you know—it's how you live. Jen traces the thread from envy to chaos, from selfish ambition to rupture, and asks where our choices are really coming from. Are we reacting to protect ourselves, or responding from a deeper place? The wisdom from above is quiet, steady, and sincere—but it won't chase us. It waits to be chosen, again and again. Even in conflict. Even when it costs us pride.

7-27-25 | Have you heard some worldly wisdom and thought, “That's the worst advice I've ever heard!”?  The reason is, Biblical wisdom is often at odds with the wisdom of this world. In this sermon series, we will attack the advice the world gives with God's Word and choose to be led by the Holy Spirit.

Two Overarching 3 Kings Take-Aways God partners with ordinary people (messy) to accomplish His extraordinary purposes. Ordinary people are capable of mighty acts when we align our mind, heart and hands with God's. Solomon is Different KingPhysicallyBackground SkillsetWisdomThe Hebrew word for wisdom (hokma) means information + insight. The OT concept of wisdom carries a moral, ethical and an applied skill component. The NT word for wisdom (sophia) points to a practical and spiritual understanding of God's will and applying that knowledge to life. “Knowing the greatest goal in any situation and the best way to achieve it.” Pastor John PiperRemarkable Moment. Ordinary Day.1 Kings 3:16-28 (NIV) 16 Now two prostitutes came to the king and stood before him. 17 One of them said, “Pardon me, my lord. This woman and I live in the same house, and I had a baby while she was there with me. 18 The third day after my child was born, this woman also had a baby. We were alone; there was no one in the house but the two of us. 19 “During the night this woman's son died because she lay on him. 20 So she got up in the middle of the night and took my son from my side while I your servant was asleep. She put him by her breast and put her dead son by my breast. 21 The next morning, I got up to nurse my son—and he was dead! But when I looked at him closely in the morning light, I saw that it wasn't the son I had borne.” 22 The other woman said, “No! The living one is my son; the dead one is yours.” But the first one insisted, “No! The dead one is yours; the living one is mine.” And so they argued before the king. 23 The king said, “This one says, ‘My son is alive and your son is dead,' while that one says, ‘No! Your son is dead and mine is alive.'” 24 Then the king said, “Bring me a sword.” So, they brought a sword for the king. 25 He then gave an order: “Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other.” 26 The woman whose son was alive was deeply moved out of love for her son and said to the king, “Please, my lord, give her the living baby! Don't kill him!” But the other said, “Neither I nor you shall have him. Cut him in two!” 27 Then the king gave his ruling: “Give the living baby to the first woman. Do not kill him; she is his mother.” 28 When all Israel heard the verdict the king had given, they held the king in awe, because they saw that he had wisdom from God to administer justice.1 Kings 4:29 (NIV) “God gave Solomon wisdom and very great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore.”Question: What was the genesis of Solomon's wisdom? Answer: Godly advice + a Godly ask.Godly Advice is two-fold. 1 Kings 2:1-4 (NIV) When the time drew near for David to die, he gave a charge to Solomon his son. 2 “I am about to go the way of all the earth,” he said. “So be strong, act like a man, 3 and observe what the Lord your God requires: Walk in obedience to him, and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and regulations, as written in the Law of Moses. Do this so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go 4 and that the Lord may keep his promise to me: ‘If your descendants watch how they live, and if they walk faithfully before me with all their heart and soul, you will never fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel.' 1. Be strong, act like a man (NIV)…“show what you are made of” (Message) David is challenging/imploring Solomon to step up to what he was being called into. 2. Observe what the Lord requires. Align your words, will and ways to that of the Lord. It's not possible to lead at this level if you are out of alignment. Out of alignment places an untenable burden – emotional, intellectual, spiritual and physical on our shoulders. Alignment is a synergistic position that employs God's power to accomplish His/our joint purposes.Godly Ask. 2 Kings 3:3-15 (NIV) 3 Solomon showed his love for the Lord by walking according to the instructions given him by his father David, except that he offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places. 4 The king went to Gibeon to offer sacrifices, for that was the most important high place, and Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar. 5 At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.” 6 Solomon answered, “You have shown great kindness to your servant, my father David, because he was faithful to you and righteous and upright in heart. You have continued this great kindness to him and have given him a son to sit on his throne this very day. 7 “Now, Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties. 8 Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number. 9 So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?” 10 The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this. 11 So God said to him, “Since you have asked for this and not for long life or wealth for yourself, nor have asked for the death of your enemies but for discernment in administering justice, 12 I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be. 13 Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for—both wealth and honor—so that in your lifetime you will have no equal among kings. 14 And if you walk in obedience to me and keep my decrees and commands as David your father did, I will give you a long life.” 15 Then Solomon awoke—and he realized it had been a dream. “I am only a child” Solomon's ask can from a place of self-awareness. All good leadership comes from a place of self-awareness. “The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this” Why? Because Solomon's was aligning with the Lord's purpose. He was falling in behind the leadership of YHWY – not asking YWHY to fall in behind his leadership! Is God's wisdom accessible to me? Godly Wisdom is neither secretive or elusive but you can only have it if you go for it! And when you “get it and follow it” there is a reward! 3 essentials to obtaining wisdom. Fear God. Trust God. Ask God. Each step comes with its own sets of rewards.Essential #1 Fear God. Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Reverence and Awe are the beginning of wisdom because if we don't hold God in the highest of regard, elevating Him and His counsel above ourselves and others, we won't align our actions with His… simple as that. Proverbs 14:12 (AMP) There is a way which seems right to a man and appears straight before him, but its end is the way of death. REWARD #1. Proverbs 9:11-12 (NIV) 11 For through wisdom your days will be many, and years will be added to your life. 12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.Essential #2 Trust God. Proverbs 3:1-8 (Charlie Amplified Version) INSTRUCTION 1My son, do not forget my teaching [these aren't secrets], but keep my commands in your heart [keep a tight grip], REWARD 2 for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity. INSTRUCTION 3 Let love and faithfulness [hesed] never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart [keep God's hesed front in center of all emotions and decisions]. REWARD 4 Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. INSTRUCTION 5 Trust [rely on, have confidence in] in the Lord with all your heart [emotions] and lean not on your own understanding [what seems]; 6 in all your ways [decisions and movement] submit to him [yield], REWARD and he will make your paths straight. INSTRUCTION 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes [seems]; fear the Lord [be in awe] and shun [turn away/ reject] evil.REWARD 8 This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. Essential #3. Ask God. James 1:2-8 (AMP) 5 If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance], he is to ask of [our benevolent] God, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke or blame… Reward… and it will be given to him. 3 essentails to obtaining wisdom. Fear God. Elevate God over yourself. Trust God. Elevate His path over other's opinion. Ask God. Elevate God to your first and last ask. “Thou, O Christ, who went tempted in all points like we are, yet without sin, make us strong to overcome the desire to be wise and to be reputed wise by others as ignorant as ourselves. We turn from our wisdom as well from our folly and flee to Thee, the wisdom and the power of God. Amen” (AW Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy pg. 59.) “With the goodness of God to desire our highest welfare, the wisdom of God to plan it, and the power of God to achieve it, what do we lack? Surely we are the most favored of all creatures.” (AW Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy pg. 64.)

You might laugh at Dumb and Dumber, but are you living the same way—spiritually? In this message, we explore how godly wisdom is more than just knowing the right verses—it's about building your life on truth instead of impulse. Our world celebrates fast decisions, loud opinions, and blind confidence, but scripture calls us to live wisely and cautiously. Through stories from Proverbs, Jesus' teaching, and Solomon's humble prayer, we uncover how wisdom provides clarity, protection, and opportunity. Without it, you might be making decisions that feel right… but lead to disaster. Don't just live confidently—live wisely.

What is godly wisdom? What does the Bible say about how to discern godly wisdom from worldly wisdom?

An episode from Lukfata Baptist Church, a conservative, independent body of King James Bible believers located in Broken Bow, Oklahoma. The mission of Lukfata Baptist Church is to be obedient to the words of Christ who is the head of the church and commands us to “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.”  (Matthew 28:19, 20) Lukfata Baptist Church (LBC) believes in sending the message of the gospel into all the world (Mk. 16:15).  When we're unable to take the gospel to foreign lands personally, we can help send those who go in our place.  LBC maintains a missionary zeal, and we are excited to be partnered together with those families who are bringing the life-giving message of the gospel to the furthest corners of the globe. You may write to LBC at: Lukfata Baptist Church1444 Lukfata Church Rd,Broken Bow, OK 74728Our video messages are also available for you at the following locations:YouTube-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@lukfatabaptistchurch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/LukfataBaptist⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Be sure to Subscribe to our channel and/or Like and Follow LBC on Facebook so that you will be notified the next time we are live! Have A Blessed Day  The KJV Bible Preaching Churches Podcast is directly supported by Doss Metrics LLC | Ministry Services based out of Cleveland Texas.

Proverbs 1:1-6

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're hitting a hot topic: America jumping into the Israel-Iran war. And I'm just going to say it—I don't think we should've gotten involved. I've supported Donald Trump for years, but I think he got this wrong.Israel just said they didn't need us. This was their fight. Then suddenly, we're bombing a nuclear site and opening doors that didn't need to be opened. And of course, anyone who questions it gets labeled a “panican.” But guess what? The “panicans” are starting to look more and more like prophets, because now, sleeper cells are stirring, and American churches are already under attack.We don't need to be scared, we need to be wise. The Bible calls us to test the spirits, stay watchful, and seek peace when we can. (1 John 4:1, Romans 12:18). So let's talk about it honestly. Because loving your country (and even loving your favorite president) doesn't mean checking your discernment at the door and always being a yes-man.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

The first few verses of Proverbs 2 give the directions to gaining Godly wisdom. We are bombarded with the world's wisdom, so we must counteract it with wisdom from the Lord. Grab your Bible and follow along with Pastor Mike.

Today, we're taking a look at the unraveling mayhem situation in California, where Governor Gavin Newsom's failure to lead has allowed chaos to run absolutely wild. Violent riots involving illegal immigrants (most of whom are military-aged men) are breaking out across the state. These individuals are not assimilating, they are disrupting, demanding, and waving foreign flags while burning ours on American soil. As California spirals, it's no surprise that federal intervention has become necessary. President Trump has stepped in where state "leadership" would not. This really isn't about politics, it's about preserving order, protecting citizens, and upholding the rule of law. We are a people who serve a God of justice, not disorder. What's happening is not compassionate, it's destabilizing. California deserves better, and America must wake up before this becomes the norm nationwide. God forbid. Let's talk about what's really going on in California and why prayer, truth, and resolve are crucial right now.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoqJuDPZk6H7VWSxgepSo3RWAJCtIGO9wrHmULH1iMgxSzkJ791_--Order CULTure: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/SLYWFXAB6479S

Understanding, Knowledge and Wisdom Notes: 1. Worldly wisdom Vs. The Wisdom of God. 2. Source. 3. Worldly Wisdom: Comes from human reasoning, cultural norms, and life experience. It's shaped by the values of the world — success, power, self-interest. 4. Wisdom of God: Comes from God Himself, revealed through Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and the person of Jesus Christ. It's often countercultural and grounded in eternal truth. 5. Focus. 6. Worldly Wisdom: Focuses on the here and now — wealth, comfort, status, and achievement. It often avoids suffering and seeks self-preservation. 7. Wisdom of God: Focuses on the kingdom of God — love, humility, righteousness, and eternal perspective. It often embraces suffering for a higher purpose. 8. Attitude. 9. Worldly Wisdom: Proud, self-reliant, often cynical. It trusts in one's own understanding and capabilities. 10. Wisdom of God: Humble, dependent on God, reverent. It starts with the fear of the Lord. And trusts in God's ways. even when they don't make sense. 11. Results. 12. Worldly Wisdom: Can bring temporary success but can lead to brokenness, division, and spiritual emptiness. 13. Wisdom of God: Leads to peace, blessed life, power and fruitfulness in the Holy Spirit. It builds up others and glorifies God with the intentions of them accepting Jesus as their Lord. o 2 Timothy 3:7 (NKJV) o 1 Corinthians 3:18-19 (NLT) 14. Wisdom - 4678. σοφία sophía; wise, wisdom, skill, tact; The wisdom of God means the divine wisdom, including the ideas of infinite skill, insight, knowledge, purity - Of the divine wisdom as revealed and manifested in Christ and His gospel. 15.

When you abandon wisdom, you're left with education. o Romans 1:21-22 (NKJV) o James 3:13-16 (NLT) 19. How do we get this kind of Wisdom from God? o James 1:5-7 (NKJV) 20.

This passage is a God-wink passage for me. I volunteered to speak on this passage at PWOC here in Italy and the day I was scheduled to share was actually election day 2024 in the states. On a day that's filled with people voting and responding to the results out of their own wisdom, we were studying a passage that reminds us to think, speak, and respond out of Godly wisdom. Though election day has passed and the results are already in, this passage continues to and will always remind  us to think, speak and respond out of Godly wisdom instead of earthly wisdom.Verses: James 3:13-18, James 2:24, James 1:17, Genesis 3:1-6, Matthew 4, Galatians 5:16-26, Romans 15:13 NLT, Matthew 5:43-44 NLT, Leviticus 20:7 NLT, Luke 9:23-25 NLT, 1 Peter 2:9 NLTUnless otherwise noted, all Scripture references are from the English Standard Version.Worship on the Way Out: I Am Yours by NEEDTOBREATHELooking for more ways to connect? Join the podcast over on Instagram @SheDisciplesPodcastLooking for a behind-the-scenes look at the podcast and more?

Today on Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're discussing Kanye West's latest internet meltdown and what it reveals about the state of our unfortunate over-sexualized and depraved culture. From celebrity chaos to societal decay, it's clear—without God, the world spirals into total confusion and sin. We're breaking down the bigger picture and talking about why it's time to turn away from worldliness/wickedness and the dysfunction of degeneracy and back to the truth and love of Christ. Jesus is the only sane way forward, ladies and gentlemen.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-copy?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=tbs_thebiblestudy_searchads-nixwdmd&tw_source=google&tw_adid=608801073541&tw_campaign=17672311083&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAC-_2dRN1WU6lhTaWFNApFgzBkVe_&gclid=CjwKCAiAwaG9BhAREiwAdhv6Y_Xc6w4LM7_4otTu1-XgzYjKKwhwbNBCdqLFVTDdXToND7Rt6JU2hBoC3hsQAvD_BwE

Grow Up // Luke Etelamaki

What does it take to lead with wisdom and leave a Godly legacy? In this message we look at the signs of spiritual drift and ways to reestablish our life on a Godly practices.

Did you know the average person makes over 35,000 decisions daily—many driven by impulse or fleeting emotions? Imagine if even 10% more of your decisions were guided by true wisdom. How radically different would your life look? Today, James reveals seven attributes of godly wisdom that can illuminate your thoughts and actions, leading to peace and purpose in every area of your life. Welcome to the Daily Devo. Our text today is James 3:17-18. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. — James 3:17-18 Here are his seven attributes of godly wisdom and a simple definition of each: Purity: Keeping your heart clean by focusing on God and living with integrity in your thoughts, words, and actions. Peace: Working to create harmony in your relationships and avoid unnecessary conflict. Gentle: Showing kindness by putting others first, even when you feel you're in the right. Willing: Open to listening, learning, and embracing wise counsel. Full of mercy and good fruit: Letting compassion move you to practical acts of kindness. Impartial: Staying consistent and fair in treating others, sticking to your values no matter the situation. Sincere: Being genuine and honest in everything you do, with no hidden motives or pretense These seven attributes of wisdom are more than a checklist—they illuminate the nature of God's wisdom and Jesus' character. Striving for godly wisdom aligns our hearts, minds, and will with His, inviting His peace and purpose to flourish in our lives and relationships. Today, take a moment to reflect: which of these seven attributes of godly wisdom stands out to you as an area for growth? Is there one where you've struggled to reflect God's wisdom and Jesus' character? Maybe it's gentleness, sincerity, or showing mercy in action. Identify the one attribute you need to work on, confess it, and take a step toward turning it up even a small percentage—it could make a profound difference in your life and relationships. Drop your response in the comments below. For example, if you've struggled with gentleness, share how you plan to show more kindness this week. Let me pray for you as you take this next step in growing in godly wisdom. Remember, God's wisdom is available to all who ask. Together, let's seek His peace and purpose in our lives. #GodlyWisdom, #BibleStudy, #James317 ASK THIS: Which attribute of godly wisdom do you find most challenging to practice daily? How can growing in gentleness or sincerity improve your relationships this week? When have you acted impulsively instead of seeking God's wisdom? What was the result? What step can you take today to align your decisions more closely with God's wisdom? DO THIS: Choose one attribute of godly wisdom to focus on this week, and practice it daily in your thoughts, words, and actions. PRAY THIS: Father, help me to seek and reflect Your wisdom in every decision I make today. Guide my heart to live with purity, peace, and sincerity so my life glorifies You. Amen PLAY THIS: Thank You, Jesus.

Family Gathering Service Sermon Preached by Rev. Kwame Owusu-Daaku at the Laikos International Church, New York Branch.

When life's pressures mount, we often feel tempted to take control and rely on our own understanding. In this message, we explore the wisdom of walking humbly with God, the consequences of rejecting His guidance, and the freedom found in surrendering to His will.

The latest from the pulpit of Spring Meadow Baptist Church.

It's easy to come to prayer with a list of our desires, essentially saying, “Here's what I want, God; now make it happen.” It's instinctual. We want God to step into our story, to bless our plans, and to handle our problems. But Jesus invites us into something bigger. Yes, prayer is for every circumstance, […]
