Can you find a single Bible verse telling you whether to take the new job, whom to marry, or whether to go to a party where the drinks will flow freely? This sermon from the wisdom literature series listens in on a father’s conversation with his son in Proverbs 3 and shows why the Bible is not a manual with a ready answer for every situation. Wisdom turns out to be full of paradox: to gain it, you must first admit you lack it and hand control over to God. Listen if you are facing a decision today that has no easy answer.

These books offer us three different perspectives on wisdom that are highly relevant today. Thanks to them, anyone can become wiser.
