Gifts of the Spirit: Wisdom (Jeremy Springer)

SummaryThis message continues the Gifts of the Holy Spirit series with a focus on wisdom. Drawing primarily from the book of Proverbs, the teaching explores wisdom as both a divine gift and a calling for believers. The message highlights Solomon’s request for wisdom, the distinction between sonship and kingship, and the central truth that Jesus Himself is wisdom.Listeners are invited to embrace wisdom not as mere intelligence, but as humility rooted in the fear of the Lord. The message contrasts the wise and the foolish, showing how wisdom equips believers to steward God’s resources, bless others, and build a legacy of faith.
