SERIES: GOOD CALL | 4 WEEKS ON WISDOM
SERIES OVERVIEW (DOWNLOAD SERIES OVERVIEW)
Coaches help their teams by guiding them towards good decisions. They create the strategy, put together a game plan, and send their players out to make it happen. Wouldn’t it be nice for someone to do that for all of our decisions? Thankfully, God gives us wisdom whenever we feel like we could use a good coach. In this 4-week series from Proverbs and the Epistles, we’ll learn more about the wisdom God offers us whenever we want to make godly decisions. We’ll see that wise people practice what God has said and share what God has given them. We’ll also look at how the Holy Spirit helps wise people follow God’s guidance and how wise people’s words show God’s love.
