  5. Hebrew Poetry: • Proverbs = Book on Wisdom • Ecclesiastes = Book on Folly • Song of Solomon = Book on Love

  6. Four Purposes for Hearing: • To know wisdom and insruction. • To understand wisdom sayings. 3. To receive instruction in wise behavior (righteousness, justice, and equity). 4. To move toward maturity.

  7. Purpose of Proverbs • Challenge the reader to attain God’s wisdom. • Transform immature people into wise people. • Show how the way of wisdom is distinguished from the way of folly in actions, attitudes, and deeds. • Foster moral character.

  8. Features of Proverbs Paired structure of its lines: • antithetical parallelism: • second line contrasts with the first. • synonymous parallelism: • second line echoes or reinforces the first

  9. We will understand Proverbs: In proportion to: • Our Experience of True Religion • Our Acquaintance with Our Own Hearts and with Human Nature • The Extent and Accuracy of Our Observation of the Character and Deeds of Men

  10. Main Message for This Week God generously shares His wisdom (James 1:5).

  11. Three Divisions First Division: We find God’s wisdom in His Word. Second Division: We practice wise responses when we have a teachable spirit. Third Division: Jesus is the complete fulfillment of wisdom.

  12. Three Divisions First Division: We find God’s wisdom in His Word.

  13. The Wisdom of Solomon: • Grounded in the Heart of the Almighty • All true wisdom begins with a Right Relationship with God • Proverbs 1:7, 9:10: The Fear of the Lord is just the Beginning of Knowledge and Understanding. • “The Fear of the Lord” here = A reverence for God expressed in submission to His Will.

  14. All True Wisdom: • Begins with knowing Him. • It Is the Inspired Word of God. • We must lock that commitment into our minds and hearts. • It is not debatable in this Class. • The Heart of the Father longs to pass His Wisdom to His Children

  15. Three Divisions First Division: We find God’s wisdom in His Word. Second Division: We practice wise responses when we have a teachable spirit.

  16. Knowledge and Wisdom: They are not the same thing. Knowledge = facts and figures that we learn from books, at school, smartphones, etc. Wisdom = what we do with knowledge we have accumulated over a long time. Pride is associated with knowledge, but Humility is part of wisdom.

  17. To Be Able to Act on Wisdom We need two elements: 1) Our own experience 2) A teachable heart

  18. Three Divisions First Division: We find God’s wisdom in His Word. Second Division: We practice wise responses when we have a teachable spirit. Third Division: Jesus is the complete fulfillment of wisdom.

  19. Two Kinds of Wisdom • Worldly Wisdom 2) Godly Wisdom First Pure, then Peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.
