Sirach, Pt. 1 - Practical Wisdom for Righteous Living

What this episode covers

The Wisdom of Sirach contains valuable wisdom for practical living. Sirach ben Jesus was a devoted student of the Law and the Prophets. In this lesson we look at some memorable (and hard-hitting) passages that provide extremely practical wisdom in the areas of overcoming temptation, not being pulled into the world (or having "a double-mind"), honoring our parents, and eating. We examine this teaching in light of the Old Testament scriptures, and then look to see if this wisdom still applies to us today as Christians.
