Proverbs: The Ways of the Wise // Week 5 // Pastor Dom Massa

The quality of your choices will depend on your clarity with Christ.

1. Outcomes
2. Community
3. Impact

Q8 - Have I considered the possible outcomes for my course of action?

The leading source of confusion in your life is sin.
The outcome of our sinful living is confusion rather than clarity.

The outcome of Christ’s work on the cross is new and lasting clarity for those who trust Him.

The best outcomes come from choices made in clarity of God’s Word.
His written Word, and incarnate Word.

Q6 - What is the collective counsel of my community?

Your decisions are only as wise as they are wrestled over.

Wrestling over decisions with your Bible open and with Biblical community around you will refocus you on what God has made clear in a complicated world.

Q10 - Is there a better option that would allow me to make a greater impact for God’s kingdom?

Choices that clearly prioritize God’s purposes over our plans create lasting impact.

“When you’re born, you look like your parents. When you die, you look like your choices.”

Wisdom Prayer:
“Lord, make me clear about Jesus. I trust your Word to be my light. God, use Biblical community to counsel me in the choices that I face. Help me to prioritize Your purposes over any of my plans.”
