Bible study this Friday, May 25th, at the Moores' house. 7pm - 10pm-ish.

 Well the Lord has been gracious and allowed me to teach once again in the study. It is my prayer that with more people being trained at my work, I will be able to return to the study regularly. Please keep that in your prayers. 
We will continue looking at Proverbs 3, this time verses 19-35. I would also like to spend some time talking about the nature of Wisdom. So if you have questions from yesterday and what Pastor Allen taught about Wisdom, we can discuss those as well.
There will be fewer people at this study so I hope to have more time to get some good discussion in. So please come with some ideas and questions to talk over. 
Here are some questions to think over as you study the passage.

1. Prov 3:19-35 General questions:  
1. What are proverbs? What do you hope to gain by reading the proverbs? By following them? 
2. Verse 19-20  
1. In verses 19-20, what words are used as parallel categories with wisdom? 
2. How about verses 13 and 21?  
3. What words are used parallel to wisdom In chapter 2 verses 2-3? Verse 6 and verses 10-11?  
4. Do you see a pattern? What does this tell us about how “wisdom” is being used? i.e. the context.  
3. Verse 20  
1. What comes to mind when you hear, “the clouds drop down the dew, by God's knowledge”? Did God have to learn this by experience? If not, what might this tell us about the expression, “by God's knowledge”?  
2. On Sunday, Pastor Allen spoke of a craftsman and the wisdom he uses to build something, does this concept relate to God and His creation? If so, does this have anything to do with how the heavens declare His glory? If not, why not? 
4. Last time we learned three things about the counter-intuitive nature of wisdom. This time we will look at three commands God gives us.  
1. Verse 25-26 What is command here? What does that really mean? What example of this can you think of in real life? 
2. Verse 27 What is command here?   
1. The following three verses give examples of this command with increasing severity.  
1. Verse 28 – What is example here? Can you think of an actual time when this might happen in life?  
2. Verse 29 – What is example here? Can you think of an actual time when this might happen in life? 
3.  Verse 30 – What is example here? Can you think of an actual time when this might happen in life?  
3. Verse 31 What is command here? How might we do this?  
5. Verse 32-35 Through out our study of the proverbs, we have seen two general categories of person. What are they?
6. What promises does God give to those who live according to His laws throughout Chapter 3

I hope these questions are a help and I look forward to seeing you all this coming Friday.

Jacob
