This week, in our exploration of Proverbs, we focus on Proverbs 26-28. Solomon has a lot to say about what lies beneath the surface. Often, people where a mask. We don't always see who a person truly is until they have a chance to show their true colors. Likewise, many only superficially understand things while not looking and digging deeper to obtain true wisdom. The fool wears the mask of wisdom, the lazy wear the mask of fear, and enemies wear the mask of friends. How can Solomon's wisdom help us to avoid being hurt by why lies beneath the masks we encounter?

What is truth and how does God expect us to relate to truth? Are only Biblical writers given wisdom from God? Does God give wisdom to secular rulers or people? How should the wise relate to the poor?

This week's study focuses on Proverbs 23-24.

What does Proverbs teach about relationships? How should people deal with conflicts with one another? How do words play a role in conflicts?

This week, in Proverbs 17-19, Solomon explores conflicts and gives sound wisdom that can greatly impact how we get along with one another.

As human beings we often look only at the surface value of things and fail to see what is beyond. Much like how the crew of a ship sees the tip of an iceberg, people may think the wicked prosper but don't know the full story. How does Solomon again compare the foolish and the wise? In what ways do people today display these characteristics? When you get past the surface value, what are the rewards of the fool and the wise? What do each contribute to society? What other things does Solomon teach us in Proverbs 14 - 16?

What is the difference between when we obtain material wealth and obtain it with God's blessing? How does Proverbs contrast the experience of the righteous with that of the wicked? Can a person be intelligent or smart, but still be foolish and unwise? What are the rewards of doing the right thing? What should be our motivation to do right? How does God feel about hard work and laziness? How do our choices to do right or wrong impact people around us? In this week's lesson we explore how Proverbs illustrates the way in which we reap what we sow.

This week we focus on wisdom and its link to Creation. How is wisdom linked to creation? In what ways does wisdom's personification in Proverbs 8 connect with the characteristics of the Godhead?

This week we discuss Solomon's themes of law as it relates to light and life. How can God's law function as a light in our lives? What does it mean to have the law written on the heart? Does God really want us to tie commandments to our heads, hearts, necks, and hands? How should we interpret these passages of scripture? What does Solomon have to say about resisting temptation? In this study we explore Solomon's advice: including why one must resist the adulterous woman. What important lessons does Solomon focus on here and why are they so crucial?
