Sermon Discussion Questions
1. What is the end goal of pursuing wisdom? How does God’s moral law/commands teach us about who He is? Can you give any examples?
2. How are you zealously pursuing God’s wisdom? What is a way you could pursue Him with even more energy/intentionality?
3. Why can we only find true wisdom in God and nowhere else? How do we humbly receive the gift of wisdom from Him?
4. What people or things are trying to lure you away from the way of wisdom towards “perverse pleasures?” How can you guard your eyes, ears, heart, etc. from those destructive influences?
