Through The Bible: "Wisdom For The Wise"

WISDOM FOR THE WISE

Tonight (Wednesday, 1/17, 7:00 pm), gather with your Calvary Chapel family in the Holy Grounds Cafe’ or on our website (www.calvaryinv.com), Facebook, and YouTube (Calvary Inverness) as we continue our three-year journey through the Bible by continuing the book of Proverbs (16-23).
King Solomon, the son of David, is the author of most of the Proverbs, along with the scribes who served in the royal court of King Hezekiah, the prophet Agur, and Solomon’s mother, Bathsheba.

The book is known as the Book of Wisdom. It is a collection of pithy sayings to assist the people of God in understanding how to navigate through a sinful and depraved culture without being contaminated by sin. It provides detailed instructions and examples of how one can live a pleasing life to the Lord and be fruitful in the ministry they have been called to.

Chapters 16-23 are written by King Solomon. In the passage, he warns his son to be wary of people determined to take him down the path of sin and destruction. When he becomes king, many will try to gain influence with him to sway policy decisions regarding the political, economic, social, and spiritual environment of Israel.

Therefore, he instructs his son to heed his instructions, cherish wisdom as a priceless treasure, understand how vital wisdom is to his life, and finally, guard, protect, and watch over his heart, for from it springs all the issues of life.

Please pray that this three-year journey through the Word of God will be received by open hearts that long to grow in the Grace and Knowledge of Jesus. Moreover, He would do deep and abiding work in and through us for a world in desperate need of a Savior.
In His Strong Love,
Pastor
