Proverbs Resources

Wisdom is key to the way we live our lives. In these sessions from the 2011 Spring Wives Conference, Vaughan Roberts tackles two themes from the book of Proverbs

: friendship, which we all need, especially if we are do do well in ministry; and the wife of noble character in Proverbs 31.  Are women meant to be like this woman?  How should we ensure that this portrait inspires, rather than discouraging us with its high standards?  And does it prescribe how women should live - working away from home or not?  

Vaughan helps us tackle these often awkward and emotive issues, with the intention that we grow not only in knowledge of the problems, but in wisdom for life. 

"wisdom means living along the grain of creation"

It takes more than knowledge to live life well. Each of us needs wisdom, and it is a part of the pastor's role to teach wisdom. Proverbs helps us to do exactly that - it is a book about doing life well.

This is the second of two sessions from the Senior Ministers Conference 2009 in which Vaughan Roberts shows us how Proverbs helps us to be teachers of wisdom.
