Proverbs cover

This insightful guide explores Proverbs, offering wisdom for daily decisions and long-term planning through engaging questions and practical applications.

The book Proverbs is the inaugural volume in the Gateway Seven Series from LICC, designed to facilitate a renewed encounter with God. This series delves into seven distinct Bible books, each showcasing a unique literary style found within the Scriptures. Wisdom literature, such as that found in Proverbs, plays a crucial role in shaping our thoughts, emotions, imaginations, and actions. It offers guidance for both everyday decisions and long-term plans, encompassing relationships within families and communities, as well as professional interactions and trade.

In this insightful six-session guide, Antony Billington presents thought-provoking questions and relevant applications that illuminate the wealth of wisdom contained in Proverbs. Each session is tailored to help individuals navigate their personal challenges and contexts from Monday through Sunday. The discussions encourage participants to cultivate wisdom that is deeply rooted in a relationship with God, informed by His design for the world, and ultimately expressed through Christ.

The sessions cover a range of themes, including honoring the Lord, making choices, pursuing a meaningful life, effective communication, and following a virtuous model. Each session invites readers to engage with the text and apply its teachings to their lives, fostering growth in wisdom and understanding that resonates throughout all aspects of life.

Applied, flexible, relevant and engaging; this Bible study series will equip you to get into the Bible and see its sharp relevance to your everyday life. -- John Risbridger * Above Bar Church *
