sermon from June 13th

THE PATH OF WISDOM
Proverbs 3:1-13

At this time of year people are graduating, moving into new positions, deciding on relationships or in general facing crossroads where they deeply desire guidance.  Fixing a computer, studying for a test,  planning a vacation are all relatively easy in comparison to the big questions we face like “Shall I marry or not marry, shall I go into this career or that career, shall I speak in this situation or be quiet, shall I overlook an offence or speak to the person?”  How are we to be wise people who find that the Lord is making “our paths straight”?

I.    RECOGNIZE THAT YOU ARE A FOOL

II.    RECOGNIZE THAT THE WORLD IS FOOLISH

III.    THE WORLD’S PATH STARTS BROAD AND ENDS NARROW

IV.    JESUS’ WAY STARTS NARROW AND ENDS BROAD

V.    TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART

VI.    LEAN NOT TO YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING

VII.    ACKNOWLEGE HIM IN ALL YOUR WAYS

VIII.    WISDOM IS JESUS AND THE CROSS

TABLE TALK:  Take someone to lunch and talk about the application for your life today.  Where do you need guidance? Are you serious about following Jesus.  Do you have a vision, a true intention and are you using the means of grace so you are becoming a wiser person and not a more foolish person?
