03-05-23 Honey for the Soul: The Sweet Taste of Wisdom

3/7/2023

 
ICEBREAKER
Whose house did you love going to when you were a child? Was there food involved? What did it smell like? What were the people like? Why did you love it so much?

We're discussing a teaching series from church called "Honey for the Soul: The Sweet Hope of Wisdom." This is based on Proverbs 24:14 which says, "Wisdom is like honey for you: if you find it, there is a future hope for you." This week, our discussion will be around Proverbs chapter 9 and Lady Wisdom's call to come eat at her table.
​

REVIEW & DISCUSS
  1. Are you participating in the church's reading plan through Proverbs?
    1. How is that going?
    2. Did you watch the introductory videos? What did you think of them?
  2. Read Proverbs 9:1-6. 
  3. Proverbs 9:1 says, "Wisdom has built her house; she has set up its seven pillars." James 3:17 gives us insight to these "seven pillars."
    1. How have you experienced God's wisdom in your life as being "pure, peace-loving, considerate, submissive (agreeable), full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere?"
    2. Can you describe what it's like to be around a wise person who models these characteristics?
    3. Can you name anyone as an example?
  4. Lady Wisdom says "come to my house."
    1. Where in your life have you found that you've grown in wisdom?
    2. Was it in your family home? Was it in particular group or bible study? Was it in a church? Was it in a school or program?
  5. Lady Wisdom says "eat my food."
    1. In what ways are you choosing to eat the food of wisdom and how is it helping you grow in wisdom?
    2. This would include any bible reading habits, any current groups or studies, church, podcasts, etc.
  6. Lady Wisdom says, "leave your simple (foolish) ways." Would you be willing to share an example of how you've left your foolish ways since growing in God's wisdom?
  7. Is there any area in your life in which you'd like to grow in more wisdom, now?
PRAYER
First, take some time to identify ways you can pray about what you just discussed. Second, take some time to ask for additional prayer requests. Then close your time together in praise and prayer.

About Us
First Covenant Church is part of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC), which is a rapidly growing multi-ethnic denomination in the United States and Canada, with ministries on five continents of the world. Founded in 1885 by Swedish immigrants, the ECC values the Bible as the word of God, the gift of God's grace, and an ever-deepening spiritual life that comes through faith with Jesus Christ. We value the importance of extending God's love and compassion to a hurting world, and the strength that comes from unity within diversity. ​
