Avg Guy:Well, according to Wikipedia, WIDSOM (also know as sapience or sagacity) is the ability to contemplate and act using knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense, and insight.
SBC Host: Fair enough. But there’s something very important that your definition is missing.
Avg Guy:Oh??
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow takes to the pulpit to uncover the “challenge test” that James puts forth onto wisdom.
Because while wisdom IS “the ability to contemplate and act using knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense, and insight” …it’s where that ability COMES FROM that matters.
For wisdom can either come from above (being pure, peaceable, and gentle) or from below (full of bitter jealousy, arrogance, and selfish ambition).
In order for God’s Church to function as He intends, we have to CARE.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow brings us a message from Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians exhorting the congregation to CARE about each other’s walk with God.
Paul wasn’t addressing the unruly, fainthearted, or weak…
…but addressing those who were in position to help those people — to notice, come alongside, invest in, and care for those very people around them that were struggling — giving wisdom from above.
Though a host encamp against me, My heart will not fear; Though war arise against me… I shall be confident.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Josh Peglow takes the pulpit to share a Psalm, a prayer, a very raw and vulnerable cry to God from King David. And while this psalm demonstrates fearless trust, courageous confidence, and unwavering faith… it also shows us something else: David is scared.
“Please don’t leave me Lord.”
It’s hard to imagine someone of his stature feeling this way… and yet, he does. And by God’s grace it is recorded for us as an example to pattern and learn from — an encouraging imperative.
For as David concludes:
I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord, In the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the Lord.
Description: On this first day of the first month of the New Year we examine if we have indeed put on the new self who is being renewed daily by the One who created him.
Description: As we continue our study in the book of Ephesians, we reach a turning point in which Paul is a calling us to duty in light of the doctrine that he has set forth in the previous three chapters: From his imprisoned cell, he implores us to get up and walk in a manner worthy of the calling in which God has called us.
Description: The Bible gives us very little information as to what the Lord Jesus looked like but we do have considerable information as to His character. Today we will try to develop those insights and reveal His plan to reproduce His character in the life of each believer.
Description: The Apostle concludes his teaching on submission with these two verses [3:8-9]. Whether it’s being in submission to every human authority, servants to a master, or even husbands and wives submitting to one another, we follow the example left for us by Jesus — we follow in His steps. Why? To inherit a blessing.
Description: It is essential to our Christian testimony that we live, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, Godly lives. This is the heart and soul of the church’s integrity.
