In his sermon, Pastor Chris Meads begins a new series on the Book of Proverbs titled "The Way of Wisdom", focusing on the verse "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge." He challenges his congregation to lean into God's Word not just for intellectual gain but to live a skillful life under Christ's lordship. Chris explains that true wisdom starts with a careful awareness of God, seeing Him for who He truly is. He warns against the pride that can sideline this fear, replacing it with human wisdom. Using King Solomon's example, he emphasizes that wisdom is a gift from God, available for the asking. Throughout the sermon, he urges his audience to consider whose voice they're lending their ear to, as this determines who they're lending their fear to, ultimately shaping their pursuit of wisdom or foolishness.
