We have come to our final lesson, but our learning must not stop here. 2 Timothy 3:16 tells us – All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness. So, you see, if we will only read it and heed it, God’s word gives us every instruction we need to live well and victoriously.

In this last lesson you will be challenged but oh so greatly rewarded.

Thank you for taking this journey with me and for the encouragement you have given me along the way.

Grace and Peace,

Did you know that we are commanded to show hospitality? We are, you can read about it in Leviticus 19:33-34. According to 1 Peter 4:9-10, hospitality is also a spiritual gift, one which those who have received it are to use it to show God’s grace. If you know someone who has the gift of hospitality you no doubt have realized how they have a unique way of making you feel special whenever you are around them.

In this week’s lesson we will see how Wisdom has made the house ready and extended an invitation to “come”.

Grace and peace,

There are some “small words” that we read in scripture that we tend to just skip over thinking they are of little or no importance. However, those little words can make all the difference. One such word is “if”.

We find there are many instances in scripture where God’s promises are conditional upon our obedience – “if you …”, “I will…”.

In this week’s lesson we will look at three such promises and the conditions required in order to obtain them.

Grace and Peace,

Last week’s study on “The Presence of Wisdom” was tough. As we studied the conditions for Wisdom, we were forced to look inside and ask ourselves five hard questions.

We have had some pretty intense teaching over the past weeks. I wonder if you knew when you started this study how much soul searching would be involved; I sure didn’t!

This week we are going to take a little break. We are going to sit back and allow God’s word to minister to us in a different way. Join me.

Grace and peace,

In a world that doesn’t make sense most of the time, where the voices of unreason speak loudly; in a world where the absurd seems to have all the power, how can we know for sure what is wise or even what is truth? Where can we hope to find wisdom?

God tells us that if we seek Wisdom, we will find it! In this week’s lesson we are going to look at five characteristics of Wisdom and the reasons, according to God’s word, we need to pursue it.

Grace and peace,
