Learning to Read the Bible, Week 19: Wisdom: Not If But How

<p><strong>Sermon:</strong> Wisdom: Not If But How</p> <p><strong>Scripture:</strong> 1 Kings 3:3-15</p> <p><strong>Speaker:</strong> Rev. Dan Wunderlich</p> <p><strong>Description:</strong> The simple truth is that everyone gains wisdom—it’s a part of growing up. But not all wisdom is created equal! The source, content, and ramifications of how we see and discern good and bad, right and wrong shapes our lives. And as the biography of King Solomon shows us, it is a life-long pursuit.</p> <p><strong>Sermon Series:</strong> Learning to Read the Bible</p> <p>Even if we accept that the Bible is not a textbook or moral instruction manual, we can still desire more clarity. For example, why are so many details in some of the stories either vague or missing completely? It turns out that this isn’t a mistake or just some cultural quirk of ancient literature, but it is an intentional tool of the biblical authors.</p>
