Description

This series looks at the wisdom of Solomon from a chapter by chapter study of the book of Proverbs. When you look at the Hebrew and Greek words for Wisdom, you will find "Sophia" in the New Testament (Greek word σοφία, ας, ἡ) and "Chokmah" in the Old Testament (Hebrew word ‎חָכְמָ֥ה). In the Old Testament, these verses in Exod. 28:3; 31:3, 6; 35:26, 31, 35; 36:1-2 convey the meaning as having the skill to perform certain duties. In the New Testament, we will find these verses in Eph. 1:8, 17; 3:10; Col. 1:9, 28; 2:3, 23; 3:16; 4:5 show us in our calling today, we are educating the principalities and powers in heavenly places the manifold wisdom of God which He purposes in Christ Jesus our Lord. This study will attempt to answer these four questions: What are the “many sides” of this manifold wisdom? What is wisdom? How does wisdom differ from understanding? and How can Proverbs help?
