Proverbs: Wisdom for Everyday Life

Discovering God's Practical Guidance Through Scripture

A 6-week journey through Proverbs discovering practical wisdom on speech, work, money, relationships, and character that transforms everyday decisions.

  1. The Fear of the Lord

    The beginning of wisdom
    Proverbs 1:1-7, 9:10
    Main Point

    The fear of the Lord is not cowering terror but reverent awe — the foundational posture that makes all other wisdom possible.

  2. Proverbs 10:19, 15:1-4, 18:21
    Main Point

    Our words are a mirror of our hearts — and they carry power to destroy or to build up, requiring careful stewardship.

  3. Diligence and Laziness

    The dignity of work
    Proverbs 6:6-11, 12:11, 14:23
    Main Point

    Diligence honors God and contributes to our community, while laziness is a slow poison that steals from both.

  4. Money and Generosity

    Stewardship and the dangers of debt
    Proverbs 3:9-10, 11:24-25, 22:7
    Main Point

    Money is a tool that reveals our priorities — generosity flows from security in God, while greed and debt flow from fear.

  5. Faithful Friends

    The gift of real friendship
    Proverbs 17:17, 18:24, 27:5-6
    Main Point

    A faithful friend loves at all times and speaks truth even when it costs — true friendship is one of life's greatest treasures.

  6. Humility and Pride

    The posture of the wise
    Proverbs 3:34, 11:2, 16:18
    Main Point

    Pride isolates us from wisdom and from God, while humility opens us to learn, to grow, and to experience God's grace.
