Discovering Wisdom

How do we find true wisdom? Pastor Brennan Oaks explains that wisdom is not merely knowledge—it is God-given understanding that shapes how we live.

This sermon explores three things:

  • It takes wisdom to see wisdom’s value. Many people miss out on wisdom because they don’t recognize its worth. (Proverbs 8:11; 16:16)

  • Asking for wisdom requires humility. James 1:5 reminds us that God gives generously to those who ask. But we must ask persistently, and with the right motives.

  • Discovering wisdom changes us. When we truly embrace God’s wisdom, we realize our lack of it, we learn from others, and we sow peace in the lives of those around us.

Wisdom is more than clever thinking—it is a reflection of God’s heart. If we want lives that glorify Him, we must seek His wisdom above all else.

For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
— Proverbs 2:6
